29-32" Best Deep Vee Hull

[mikesf]

I have a H&M No Step 3 and handles tough water(sea) very nice...

Checked the DF29 and DF Storm and Rico 31, I am going towards the Rio 31. There is not much
difference from my Titan 29 Hull, just a shorter freeboard. Maybe I should just re-power my
Titan 29 with a Neu 1515-1Y and Hydra 240 ESC and go to 6S Lipos. Maybe this will be the right
combination. May have to prop up to a 642, Presently using an X640 Octura.

6s lipo is to much . 15151y 240lv on 4s2p with a m445 you,ll be in the 50s or better or 1521 1.5d runs about the same . ( ricoracing.com)

I love my DF CyberStorm, a hull that I have nothing to complain. the building quality is top notch(I have the Swiss HPR too). Only one suggestion, lay some cabon or glass cloth at the motor area to make it more rigid, and you got a perfect hull.

Hmm. With some attributes I can picture a scale and understand the pros and cons. Like weight for example - one one side you have light, fast, expensive and sliding across you have over the heavy, slow, cheap.

For stepped sides or hull design I'm guessing that it's either stepped, tight, more cornering capable, more stability and less speed on one side versus flat, loose, less cornering, less stability, and more speed on the other side. Could be wrong, but that's my assumption.

For the rigid bottom I have no idea what that would affect... What, does to model loose energy when it flexes resulting in lower performance? Or is it a handling issue, or both or neither?

Just wondering.

Hi Guys, Thanks a lot for your input. I think I am just going to Keep the Titan 29 and re-power
it with a Neu 1515-1Y, 4S Lipos and a Hydra 240 Esc. The boat handles perfectly but if just
gets overpowered by better motors in the straights. If I keep on loosing in P-Offshore I will
get a Rico 31. Anyway, Thanks
Norman

I just ran a 32" Delta Force clone (vee) on a 1515 1Y. Small prop, Y536 (36mm). On 4S, too slow. Didn't clock it. On 6S, ran 41.5 mph. Before propping up, I need to do an amp draw check... I only have a Hydra 120 in it... Don't want to smoke it :)

I have a good video I'll have to upload.... Can't do it now though

too small of prop try a m445

On 6s your spinning at almost 50,000 rpm, thats seems way too much. That motor is usually run on 4s which would be around 32,000 rpm. As far as props, in my df33 with a 1515 1y on 4s the speeds are high 40s with a x637, low 50s with a x640, and mid 50s with a m445. I can check my eagle tree graphs to see what I'm drawing for amps.

You are right and that's all good advice. I was just testing that configuration.

Thanks for the extra info, that's very helpful!
