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.Last edited by Xfactor; 03-12-2010, 02:26 AM.Comment

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.Twin power =Comment

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."Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone except God.
