Suggestions For Drivetrain

[zrchobbies]

Hey guys,
I have a 12 size rigger fthat I want to go FE with. I was wondering if you all had any suggestions as to wht I shoud put in it. I would like to get the max potential out of the hull. It's 25 inches long. Weighs about 1lb minus running gear. Looking for speeds in the High 50's low 60's I know the hull is capable of that. What motor/speedo/cell combo do you all recommend

Thanks
Zach

I would use .078 wire drive. I run a Matrix Rigger for fun on 4S1P lipo w/Neu 1515/1.5D and .062 wire drive...It has held up fine!!I bought this boat used and it was already set-up w/.062 wire, If I build another I will use .078 just to be safe! Speeds are 45-55 with diff. props...Hope this helps...

thanks. It all helps. Not real familiar what type of speedo/motor combo do you all recommend?

I guess i should have worded it differently I was wondering about the motors/speedo/cells

[txboatpilot]

Look at Neu motors and CC esc's...You will need good equipment to go that fast!! Look into Lipo batteries..Thunderpower has very good packs....

good deal, I was thinking 12 cells/or lipo, not sure on the esc size or motor size

Look at the Hydra 120 or 240 to be safe!! Look at 1512/2D or 1515/1.5D both will work....And be very quick on 14.8V or 4S1P lipo...These motors have tons of POWER on lipo's......
