    16th. scale Finlay Atlas Van Lines

    This is a little project I started sometime ago. A 16th scale Atlas Van Lines built from Finlay plans. It is foam filled;which really makes for a good rigid hull.She has a DIY 1/16 wire drive with an Octura coupler and drive dog.It has a df 550 2650 kv outrunner swinging a x432. I plan on running 2-3s Lipo on this boat .Im also contemplating some different props;maybe a x632 and a x435. Any suggestions?The motor is the big brother to the 400 df you see in the renegade rigger clips on mile high rc.com.

    two 3S packs? I ran a 1/16th scale shovel on a single 2S with an ammo 28-45-3600 in it and was easily at 35mph. Where do you plan om putting two 3S packs?

      What I meant was a 2s lipo or 3s lipo pack sorry for the misunderstanding Jim.I know 6s lipo is way more than i need for this hydro. I can get 2 3s 2400mah mystery packs in there though. There's room far up in the nose, so i can sit two packs end to end down in the belly pan.What size prop did you run on your 35 mph run? @ 3s lipo this 550 df will turn approx. 30k at about a .6 hp .Mile high claims these little motors dont really run till u put some load on them.I want to pull about 40-50 amps. That's why im so curious to know if a x632 would run well.I often get beside myself and think of stuffing my feigao 6xl, 6 s lipo, a x1732 prop on it and pulling the trigger!What do you think would happen? LOL.

                    I'm in Fort Bragg. I've been looking to find someone to run boats with, posted in the boat club section, but no response.

                          I haven't ran my boats since I moved out here, so I don't know where to go. I noticed a lot of ponds large enough on my way to Fuquay Varina NC, and they have a sweet rc offroad track, and I noticed a large pond behind the track, just haven't asked yet if I can run my boats on it as the track is on someones personal property, and the pond is closer to their house then the track. I don't mind driving a little bit to run some boats with people.

                              nope not sure I could have fit a 3s pack in it without having the battery way back twords the transom. I wanted the battery as far forward as possible.
