Hello, first post here :) I always liked boats, and started with a wooden hull and a brushen 540, it didnt work very well so i got a plastic hull (60 cm long, around 24") took out the dual brushed 400's so i had an empty
hull.
First setup was a brushless car motor, Leopard 540 3300kv on 2s LiPo, surface drive, and offset rudder.
Was ballistic atleast i thought, but maybe 30-35 mph?
But i didnt use a flexshaft, with the prop on a slightly down angle the boat leaned towards the side due to
torque. Another thing i noticed was rudder pickups arent good for low speeds
So now i rebuilt it using submerged drive, put the rudder int the middle behind the propwash (offsetrudder is crap in my opinion if your not racing, worthless turning on lowspeed) and repainted it.
I used fine sand paper on the hull
I tried the submerged setup with traxxas titan 12t (550 brushed) and it worked
so now im waiting for hobbyking delivery:
Turnigy 3665 2300kv
Birdie 70 Amp watercooled ESC
LiPo Nano-tech 3s 3300 mah (might try 4s)
Any thought or tips greatly appreciated
