Mean Machine Catamaran (Sport)

If you waterproof and watercool, it will be bulletproof (almost)... Ran it sunday on Feigao 10XL, 45mm prop, 4S2P 4800 and it was barely warm

[ozzie-crawl]

it is conformal coated, i usally only run for acouple of minutes at a time so no water cooling needed, if i do start getting some heat issues i will just add a fan

[eboat]

Sorry it looked like it still had the factory shrink on it and not water proofed yet

[ozzie-crawl]

i would have thought the same thing, i work for a electrical switchboard company and we have rolls upon rolls of diffrent heat shrink

[Scott T]

was asked for acouple pics of my MM setup, thought i mite as well put them here

Looks neat and tidy, nice one! What packs are you running?

[ozzie-crawl]

thanks scott, running 2x2s 30c 5000 flightmax (zippys)

This seems to be the right place for this question...i was thinking about building a MM that will hit 60+ i am on a budget of about 500 any suggestions? I would like to try a twin set up but a single would do and oh the 500 doesn't include the lipos is there a feigo motor that is close to the neu 1521 1d?

[CornelP]

Yup! Feigao 540 6L, 4116rmp/V, max amps 102A,

1521 1D 2900KV

I think you want a 6XL 2871 KV

[eboat]

Do you have lipos for 4S or 6S set up ?

[CornelP]

Right eboat, sorry, was reading the 1512...

[Steven Vaccaro]

The 540xl motor can not compare to the reliability and constant output that a 1521 motor can put out. A Feigao 580L is closer.

[Rich]

i can get any battery setup. steve, i looked at the specks of the neu and noticed that the constant out put is 1750 watts and the 580 is about 1800 watts, that makes more sense to me i agree there, so you are saying go with the 580 6L w/ 70,000 bearings? and maybe an etti 150 opto 30 volt esc?

[Brushless55]

Keep in mind the 580 will have more torque over the 540, and that will swing the same size prop more easy.

[Rich]

thats true, thats why i want this thing to be a screamer
