new skunkworks cat: twin outrunner build

[bea5017]

jus got my new skunkwork 32"cat. very nice scott, came with no damage, couldnt be happier. thinkin about two of these http://www.innov8tivedesigns.com/pro...roducts_id=396 on 6s, whatcha think or two of these http://www.innov8tivedesigns.com/pro...roducts_id=314 on 5s

eh...

How ya going to cool them?

[bea5017]

Built in fan, only pulling 25 amps, got high temp magnets, not all that worried, but ima try for a water cooled mount but four it will fit

[j.m.]

You think your only going to pull 25 amps??

What prop are we running here?

I am new at this, but i can almost bet you will have a heat issue.

[bea5017]

i am awear of the heat issue it has a built in fan, with magnets that can take upwards of 350 degree f, the boat is only going to be ran on short runs so im not that concerned, the esc will be water cooled, and like i said i am going to try and get a water cooled motor mount. the smaller motor has a max of 25 amps, on 6s for around 550 watts apeice, or at least according to the specs.

[j.m.]

so 1100 watts on a 32" cat without water cooling is like putting a weed whacker engine on a pontoon boat and expecting it to do 50mph.

[bea5017]

1100 watts is approx equivilent to an 540 xl motor which will easilly push a 32 cat

I think your wanting to run scorpions is a great idea

check out Jim Williams site for scorpion motors and outrunner cooling motor mounts.......his prices are cheaper than the site you linked and he gives an extra $5 discount to people who register on his site

perfect

[wakeboardfusion]

what about a metal cooling coil just to be safe?

[bea5017]

tough to do wit an outrunner, coolin the mount bi=out the best u can do

[bea5017]

finally got my motors n mounts. sry about the poor quality pics, it was the best i could do. hopefully more to come waiting on hardware. keep up the motivzation

[ozzie-crawl]

i run a 3026 1900kv on my tunnel,i cant fit a data logger in but going of mah used it pulls a average of 66 amps on 4s running a m642. running 5s on x442s shouldn't draw to many amps i dont think.mine being in the wind doesn't get past 40c after a few min run time.
the scorpion in runners will be released in the next 2-3 months,more motors
