Hey, i'm building a 33 inch mono from scratch. It's about 10 inches wide. I'm almost done with my mold plug and i'll post some pics when i am. I'm planning to make it from carbon fiber hull and aluminized fiberglass over it for appearance. I am designing it a little like the delta force mixed with toysport triton. I will not be able to get any further than the mold plug until May when my wife will let me buy all the supplies and electronics. I work on sheetmetal and advanced composites for the Air Force so I know how to do the fabrication, however I would like some input with electronics i am putting in it since this is my first boat build. here is a list, let me know what you think and also maybe some prop sizes i can try with it.
speed control:
HiModel GX Seires 200A 3-7S Brushless Electric Speed Controller Type GX-200A-OPTO
motor:
540 6XL 2,779 RPM / Volt
battery:
ZIPPY Flightmax 5000mAh 4S1P 25C
I am making my own dual rudder system with water pickups, trim tabs, turn fins, and cooling system for motor and speed control and planning to go with .062 wire drive system for 3/16 props. The hull should weigh around 1lb. Do these electronics sound like they would make this boat move pretty quick? I am building this boat for fun. I do not race, and I will probably use it 2 or 3 times a month during the summer months since i do not live by water. I wanted to build this to see if i can. I have no idea as to the prop size/pitch that would be good. If anyone can give me about 3 different prop size/pitch combinations I should buy to try in it I would appreciate it. I will post pictures of my mold plug when completed and also more build pictures later on when i get my supplies.
