Genesis Motor options?

[supafastsupra2]

I've got the itch to build a boat this winter and am trying to pick out what electronics I'm going to use. I've changed my mind from a Genesis to a Sprint Cat .40, for stability in gasser race waters. I have NO idea where to begin to power this hull. I currently have a castle 1520 and a phoenix hv110 at my disposal, If I could use either of these in the hull, Great. If not, so be it. The boat needs to achieve 60mph comfortably. Looking for any and all input on this. I'd like to leave it as a single, so perhaps a large turnigy outrunner on 8s with the HV110? Thanks in advance guys,

Im running the 4074 Leopard 1400KV on 6S and Im getting 52mph. on a 440 prop. I tried a 640 and ran 50 flat. Havent gone up to 42mm but I like the speed and temps of components on the 440.

I have a Castle 1520 1Y (2 actually) for a different build. I may be able to swap it real quick and see what it does?

Here it is in some rough conditions on that set up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3irTrgxBy0E

"I'd like to get mid at least 50's if possible"

The 1518 may get you there..........the 1520 will for sure

I wouldnt run the 110 ESC

EDIT: just saw the 8s part, the 1518 would get you there too.....

This is a VERY light hull (I have one) but seems to be quite strong.

I was thinking twin 8XLs for mine but after trying to wedge in those motors and mounts in the narrow hulls, I'm thinking of just using a UL-1 system on 4S. I figure if the UL-1 system can move my heavier UL-1 to the low 50's, it should be able to do the same with this lighter cat.

We will find out........ stay tuned till May 2011.

What is the bare minimum ESC I should use for either setup?

[Make-a-Wake]

You could use this for the 1520 on 6s.............

I use the Turnigy 180amp esc On 6s in my Genesis with a Leopard 4082 spinning a 48mm prop. Gps with that prop at 63.3 mph. Here it is with a 42mm prop.

My set up spikes at 107A. Watching the live feed, it seems to pull constant 85-90ish.

[supafastsupra2]

think in SAW setup I could get 70 on the 1520? I've read this boat does NOT like heavy 2p setups so what's a good option? I'm thinking dual 6s 2650's?


Anyone know where to pickup just a genesis Hull? EDIT: I can't seem to find any Genesis hull nor RTR in stock are there any other hulls in a similar size?


Sorry for all the questions but I'd like to spend my money wisely :)

Theres a guy in AUS on ebay who has them. I dont remember his seller name though. I think it was 140, then shipping though was like 70. If your not in a hurry... http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ad.php?t=18936 I will be working on it more this week and hopefully have the replica plug done. It wouldnt be probably til Jan before the new design is finished.

Also, I know someone who has been contemplating selling thiers. Its the ARTR from HC, never had rx/tx in it, never wet. PM me if you want the details. I could also see if he'd be willing to part it out.. but I doubt it.

What's the price point going to be do you think? I know when making small runs overall cost is usually more. Also where in FL are you?

[tiqueman]

I havent established a price yet since I do not have one complete. Its not going to be astronomical by any means.

Im in the Bradenton/ Sarasota area.
