Delta Force Sniper 45 on 12S

[RaceMechaniX]

Anbjørn,

Try to keep the wires short if you can. Twisting is most useful when the motor leads are long, but if you are mounting the Schulze on top of the motor, no need to twist. Likewise keep the battery leads short too, this will help reduce the loses.

I love all the CF in this hull

I just want to see it skate.Beautiful layout.

Hello Anbjorn


Congratulations on the quality of all the craftmanship...Very Nice work indeed..
Love all that carbon fiber.....But i´m a carbon fiber addicted

Good layout, you have a monster in there...that thing is going to dry the lake

Hope to see a video of it....

P.S the Sniper is a much better looking hull then the "normal" Delta Force!
If it were available a 36" version i would swap it everyday for mine DF 35.5

Thank you all for your nice comments
I am waiting for the quote for 300amp rated connectors from Schulze.
They should not create any loss in the supply voltage.

One commented from a different forum:
"With the RPM that brushless will turn, my bet you will shred the blades right off that X460 bronze prop pretty easily.
Your going to want something cast in Stainless, Check with Gregg at VooDoo and see if he can hook you with maybe a cut down 6516/3 or so ?"

What do you guys here think about the bronze X460?
Dasboata that did my X460 did a good job on it, not too thin, perfect balance and no imperfections. He was also informed about the rpm level when I ordered it.

There will always be some loss with a connection but I know what you are saying though very (minimal). Hybrid benz esc wow!What will your paint scheme be? That a cool sleek cowl/hatch .

[Rumdog]

It isn't bronze. It's beryllium copper. And, it should be just fine.

[RaceMechaniX]

Anbjørn,

I would go ahead and try the Berryllium Copper first. If desirable you can heat treat the prop to prevent bending. However, at the power levels you are talking about even a hardened SS prop can bend or break. My best advice is the be throttle sensitive. For example, if the boat hits a a wave and becomes airborn ease off the throttle instead of holding in full throttle.

I have run mine on 11s with a Neu 2230 1/Y and a X460/3 prop , the boat did 114kph , I only had 20/30C cell and didn't want an explosion so I didn,t push it with the prop . I have a ABC 2616 that will easily get me into the 120's + given I use better cells

[Gerwin Brommer]

Nice boat !

Why didn't you remove the rails , where the lipo's are now ?
If you had removed the rails, and placed the cells on the bottom, your cog would have been much lower !

[Rumdog]

Yeah, but the stuffing tube is there. Plus the rails will help to secure the cells much better in a high speed wipeout.

[Anbjorn]

Thanks Gerwin,

I did look into that, but I found the difference to be just 1cm. I therefore decided to keep the rails for added stiffness and ease of battery hold down.
I have not weighed the boat yet but I can asure you that it is quite heavy.
Blowing this boat off will require all the extra strength available.
Anbjørn

[Anbjorn]

That is good advice.
I will look into other props depending on test results.
If I find a realy good prop for it I will probably get one in SS too.

I don't know... I have one setup with a Zen 260 PUM Gas Mod Motor, and it's more than fast enough to blow it off the water... This hull runs WAY up on top of the water, due to the large rounded ride-pad keel...

[Anbjorn]

Interesting. The round keel is something that I was not sure I like.
I did think it could cause more drag that the smaller flat pad.
So yours is running very high? Is your CG low? I suspect that I would need to go as high as 35% for this one.
