Whiplash Sport 20 FE Build

[ray schrauwen]

I got it from Virginia Craftsman, Inc. They don't have a webite, but I can PM you with their contact info if you are interested. They are popular among the nitro guys. It's a pretty nice looking fin and bracket IMHO.

Please PM me this info if you can? thanks!

I am just getting started on my whiplash kit and your thread will be an often read posting thru the project. Great job Duc.

Sean, What motor/esc and batteries are you using for P Sport? Would the large Feigao 540 6L be legal?

I was using a CC Hydra 240, a Medusa 36-70-2000kv motor, and two XPS Platinum 2S 5000mAh packs in series. You could definitely use the Feigao in P-sport.

I set my hull up to switch over the the larger 540L motor also. This motor uses the same bolt spacing as the UL-1 motor. The larger 8mm shaft NUE motors use a wider bolt hole spacing I think. Thanks

I just returned from the 2010 NAMBA Fast Electric Nationals in Greeley, CO and I am pleased to report that my Ducati Whiplash took 1st place in LSH and 2nd place in P-Sport Hydro.

Thanks again to all of the sponsors and the NAMBA District 20 clubs for hosting a GREAT event! I made a lot of new friends there and learned some new tricks as well.

A special thanks to Jeepers for his prop suggestion in P-sport, and to Teach for the flushing syringe.

Congrats again Sean,you drove that boat excellent! Guys this boat really didn't need to be any faster in P-Limited Sport Hydro, it probably wouldn't have handled as well as it did, this was extremely important in this class with so many drivers.

More LSH prop testing

I tested a modified H5 prop in my LSH setup and got the following results.
The temp sensors were not hooked up so I didn't record those numbers.

On a side note: While I was impressed with the performance, I'm not convinced that it will hold up during an actual heat race.

Just because I didn't smoke my motor/ESC, doesn't mean that you won't if you try the same thing... So don't try this and blame me if you smoke something

Driving skills and boat setup play a big role on how long the motor/esc will live. A setup that is too tight or (BOAT TOO HEAVY) WILL kill a motor or esc. Last week I burned up my UL/1 motor using the Octura m445 prop and NanoTech battery. Boat was fast down the straits, but slowed too much in the turns causing amps to spike too much when accellerating out of the turns. I will loosen the hull up more to keep speeds up in turns and/or build a lighter weight Whiplash hull.

Awsome job...58mph! I also have the Eagletree gps on order from Steve.

Narly Duc!
