    Weight issue

    Has anyone tried running 3 5 cell packs on a smaller hull such as a 32 inch or smaller hull? Just wondering if it would be too much weight for a boat of that size?

    Do you mean three 5s lipo packs?If so,yes,that would be too much weight.I run two 4s packs in my twin drive 32" and my guess it weighs close to 10lbs.

      Yeh that's what I meant, thinking about building a triple motor setup in a 32 inch hull and wanting to run 5s to each motor but I'm thinking I will need a bigger hull for that.

        Try the Promise Hobby, 41" Catamaran. It is a knock off of an insane cat.

        You can get it in glass, glass & Kevlar bottom or all out Carbon kevlar for a fraction of the Insane version.

        Ebay....

        I own the 29" Phantom catamaran. I run it on a Turnigy 1400Kv outrunner on 5S2P, a T180 esc and a D/T, thinned x450 prop and it does 50mph+

        Just imagine the speed of 3 Turnigy outrunners in the 41" cat of 5S1P each motor, HOMINA HOMINA!!!! Running counter L&R 3 blade 450's MEEYOOWWW!!

                  On a triple motor setup I'm assuming I would run 3 of the same rotation props versus counter rotating right?

                    No, that would be alot of torque in one direction.

                    I may be wrong but, IMO at least one should be counter rotating.
