I have the typhoon. Its pretty powerful for its size, but if going the outrunner route I would use the castle 1800kv's. They are slightly larger and only 40-bucks a piece with the castle sale.(plus I wanna see how well they work)

Ok thanks, what about the outrunners Forescott listed?
Those look badass, maybe a winner, let's see with the twin experts think. Good price that's for sure.

I think chuck e cheese used the typhoon in his hotr cat and was running 50-60 if I recall correctly.
I'm no prop guru but I beleive de-toungued props has lees holeshot and more top end. But with twins you have twice the blade area so it doesn't make much matter. Adding cup and or pitch will redirect the thrust cone so you'll have more speed. Counter rotating props are limited in sizes so alot will be modified.If all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed!Comment

T-600 is a whole nuther animule! That is a 3000w motor. At least double if not triple the power of the Typhoon.FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

My bad. I'm not familiar with the HK outrunners. My little brain was thinking "T" = typhoon. Now back to your usuall programming.......lolIf all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed!Comment

Kv x voltage=rpm.Twins can usually run mid 30k rpm or up to 40k with a high quality motor with good bearings.Comment

Looking good Diesel! Not sure how fast you want to go but I just installed the Leopard 2860 2730kv in my 25" Prince mono and it runs awesome. Setup is 3s 5000mah 30c Turnigy, 3/16drive /.150 flex spinning a x637 (for now) and hit 40mph with low temps. My batts were 94, esc 70 and motor was 80 after a 5 minute run. I like this Apparition hull and am wanting to get one. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Go Fast...Turn Right...

Just so all of us are on the same page this is the motor I have http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=9258. I planned on using in a BJ26, but I also have suppo outrunner coming that I can use instead. Since i have one and they are priced cheap they may be worth a try. Once I open the motor mount to except 25mm bolt patterns the sky is the limit. It maybe worth a $50 try for fun. I love that outrunner sound!
Blackcat, Larry and Tiq. Did you guys looks at the CC outrunners Forescott posted yet. Opinions on those?!?Comment
