Who runs an Outrunner in their boats?

Doug, I'll get some pics uploaded here of the factory and crew. Busy today. Maybe tonight!

Anyone else running an outrunner in their boats?

Small Outrunner

Ben,

On a small end of the scale I have been running a Mystery D2830 3500KV outrunner on 2S lipo in my MiniV.
It moves it quite nicely, I would guess around 20-23mph, for what seems like forever on a 7.4V 1600mah PolyQuest battery. Everything comes in the same temps it went out with.

I couldn't beat the price, I won the motor and a 30Amp ESC on eBay for $13 shipped from China!
I figured I couldn't pass that deal up.....

Very cool Brad. How are the speeds on that setup and what prop are you using? Have you considered trying in larger models?

Ben,

I am running an x430 and that gives me low to mid 20's which is fast enough because I am still trying to get rid of the porposing. I am still working on the COG and modifying the homemade hardware I made for it.
I had been running the x427 I sold you but it was a little small for it.
I have thought about trying a 36mm outrunner in my 32" mono, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Turnigy Typhoon is a nice motor to test for $25, the 36mm one that is.

They make a really nice 28mm one too. Says 3550kv but, its really about 4000kv, about $10.

Going to put the little one in a micro wood rigger and try the 36mm in a DF26 or LSH type boat.

Sold my 4025 Scop because it wasn't the KV I wanted and it wasn't suggested to run more that 6S on it.

Scorpion has Inrunners coming in 2 months :) :)

The biggest thing leading me to the outrunners in my next cat is cost. The 63mm littlescreamer is similar in power to 2215-2230 neu for much much less. That makes a big difference in a twin. $300 for a pair of outrunner motors compared to $1300 or more for neu/lehner. Sure it might not be quite as fast but a grand in my pocket will build a few more boats;-)

Well I have a couple of outrunner's I was going to use in my min hydro. It's 16" long by just over 7" wide. It's from HOTR. Think these will work or should I use something else?

They should work just fine.

I have one of these two, the higher Kv one is about 4000KV, the longer can is about 3600. These are just a notch under Scorpion motos if not on par for less money that scorp.

Since what you show is in stock it may be more appealing. Price is good too.

Good calls guys. I've used an Align outrunner in the past and it has served me well. I've yet to try any of the Turnigy outrunners, but I've used their inrunners with great success!

I believe you are right about the understated KV rating on the Turnigy. I have a couple 2100kv motors that certainly act like and sound as if they are higher. I haven't had the chance to verify with a logger.

OK, I was catching up on some reading and found where Randy at BBY was running an outrunner in one of his models.

Here's the video link.

And who says you can't use an outrunner for FE boats?

Look in to the BBY Micro Hydro build we were running Out runners in them too. Nothing new just need a little R&D to find the right ones.

[Meniscus]

Randy,

Are you selling these outrunners? If so, please post some specs so that others can order from you.

I can't seem to find the info where you've been testing outrunners in the micros. Could you post a link?
How are you cooling the outrunners?

I was planning on developing a line of Little Screamers with Scott if he is interested in my help. We talked about a little we will see if he follows threw.

I really can not compete with Hobby King and HK sorts with the out runners on Ebay so I do not try. I am a hull and hardware builder and that is the short and long of it.

[Meniscus]

Makes sense, I didn't even think about that!

How about that link?
