    Refuse the box exists!

    Thanks for the input Apples1!

    I regret to say I don't have enough funds to afford that much motor, especially with some of my other projects. The reason why I was going with the 1107/2D is the KV vs. watts. I want to use the 2s lipos I have in parallel for the power vs. weight and still achieve appropriate rpms.

    I would entertain some other configurations, but right now, I'm trying to get this running fast without having to purchase more lipos to make it happen. I do have a 3s at 2300 mah, but I don't think that will last long under the current draw to make it go fast. Does that make sense?

      Ben, I have to say that I am not very familiarized with that motor... actually... not familiarized at all...

        LOL, well it sounds like I may be the guinea pig. We'll see what everyone else says.

        Does anyone run a 2s2p setup in SAWS?

          I have not seen it in hydros but in Monos I believe people have done it.

                  Apples: I think Ben is only running 7.4v's with twice the mah in his. You're running 14.8v.

                    Just for intrest sake, this is a hull that was made by the lost foam method. Composit materials can be purchased in tube form, more like a tube sock. The form is made of foam and the sock is pulled over and saturated with resin. This was made by Terry Keeley:

                      Yes, that is correct.

                      So, a tube sock? I may have to test that method. I don't think I've heard of that before. Is it the same to use hose or something along those lines? Or does it have to be thick? I was just thinking of a longer format for the tub to execute this idea. And the resin dries OK?

                          How do you get the foam out the tube afterwards?

                            I think that most use gasoline, but I'm sure there are other solvents that can be used.

                                Ah, so they disapate the foam with a solvent. Smart idea. I'd like to see thise process in action.
