Having a hard time finding some nice looking mounts for these 56mm motors.

Couldn't find mounts for these motors anywhere so I'm going to make my own from carbon fiber. I ordered some rigid CF sheet and some CF fabric from Ill Street Composites. http://www.carbon-fiber.us/
I'm going to line the inside of the entire hull with CF. I'm also going to make the motor mounts, servo mount, battery trays, ect. Should look slick!!!
I'm getting pumped about this build. If only MHZ would ship my stuff.Comment

Chris, I run a single 5692 in a 40-inch mono. The 1340kv on 6s. It runs fast and cool at 50mph on an x452 prop. Twins should easily push this hull. What are you using for lipos? A twin 8s setup is gonna be a lot of weight in lipos. A couple of aquastar/swordfish 240 esc's will work nicely. This looks to be a pricey build!! Good luck!!

Not sure what batteries I will be using yet. I was already thinking the Swordfish 240s would be a good match, thanks for confirming.
For batteries I was thinking two of these bad boys. Thats about 5 pounds of batteries......any thoughts? Good runtime?

Yeah this will not be a cheap build, I'm figuring around $2500-$3000 when all is said and done. I'm already $2000 into it and the only major items left to buy are the batteries and ESCs. But it will be fun to build and run.Comment

I would run the 1340 kv motor as well. You will have the option to run 2 6s packs in parallel on each motor for the exra run time. I dont think your going thave much room to run 8 or 10s 2p on each motor if your going for twins. Single motor no problem. Speeds on 6s setup will easily hit 60+ mph.

Plus you can use turnigy 180's and save some big $$$Comment

I already ordered the 1090 motors, so what ESC should I use?
Also looks like I might be using these drives now since MHZ seems to not be in business at the moment even though they took my 780 bucks, that should be fun to resolve..... http://www.wd200-modellbau.de/?Antri...ives:LenkstrutComment

Either the aquastar 240. Or the swordfish 240. Or the Hydra 240HVComment

Steerable outdrives huh................ i assumed stingers and a big rudder in the middle.........thats what i get for assuming! I like those batts.............145 continuous amp output, just watch the heat on them, too bad they arent 30c's.NEED PARALLEL CONNECTORS?? QUALITY 5.5MM, 8MM, 8 AND 10 AWG, GET THEM HERE:

No my original plan was twin surface drives and a single center rudder. But MHZ doesn't seem to be filling orders so I am looking for alternatives. I just don't like any of the other surface drives out there so I am considering the steerable outdrives.
If you look at the bad ass Outerlimits in this thread it looks like thats what he's running.

I just got my Leopard 5692 motors, water jackets, Spextrum DX3S and some other items. Thanks again Steve for that lightning fast shipping.
Wow! These motors are huge, I have a feeling this is going to be a really fast boat. And I finally got confirmation that my drives from MHZ-usa are out for delivery right now.
The hull and carbon fiber should be here within a day or two.
Stand by......Comment

Just got the drives and rudder from MHZ. I must say these are some nice drives. I also got some trim tabs from MHZ but I found these from Redline, they match the drives very nice so I'll use them.
Here is a transom mock up. The hull will be black so this gives an idea of how it will look.

I hope turning won't be an issue. Those keels on the stingers are gonna want to keep the hull going straight.Comment
that or the SF 200a's
