60mph setup

[MARKY C]

on a 36'' deep vee hull what setup would i need to get this sort of speed. would something like a neu 1521/1Y 1577Kv with a 240 hv esc on 6s or higher running a 447 prop work or am i way off. thanks for any replies.....

You're not way off..............i think a 447 may be a bit much though..........maybe a 445 for a 1521. I'm not sure if a 1521 can get that boat to 60........................i have been wrong before.........

What hull is it? A 1521 will easily spin a x447 also.

[MARKY C]

its for the traxxas spartan

That hull is not made for 60...................

That hull is not made for 60...................

Yes it is..Its the best rtr out right now..The plastic hull and AWESOME electrics will rule all !!!

































NOT!

LOL...........................glad i scrolled down to the bottom....................

[MARKY C]

dont take the piss im just trying to make a crap boat better

[pyroM!KE]

Ahh dude..dont take offense..Ive bought airplanes,helis,cars, that I regreted..I do like the spartan and if I was you I would try to tear it up..Good luck..

[Rumdog]

Spending all that cash on good components.... put it into a good hull.

For what its worth I tried a 1521 in a 36" hull and it ran hot, traded it out for a 1527 and it runs faster and cooler.

Those Spartans are pretty light though, I think you will be damn close with the setup you got and i too think that motor will have no problem at all spinning the 447 prop.............................................. .................................................b ut she will tear that bought up i'm sure. I had to talk a guy at the hobbyshop out of buying a spartan the other day he was trying to choose between the spartan and the geico and leaning towards the spartan and i was like..................................dont do it man.lol too bad there a great looking boat, but what were they thinking, plastic?? come on

Does the OP want a reliable setup that he can move into a better hull in the future? A proven 60 mph combo for monos in that size range is a Neu 1527/1Y, 6S and an x455. Runs very strong and makes the full mile and more on the 1/6th mile course. The 1521 motors are too small for the kind of power needed for 60 mph if reliability is a requirement. And 47mm props are too small for peak efficiency in a hull that size.

Marky C, Have you seen this RC calculator page here on OSE?

It is handy for a few things, including getting a rough estimate on top speed with a given prop and RPM.

Skeptics

Just bought a Spartan, and I’ve been reading statements from skeptics in this forum that lead me to believe plastics isn’t the best choice for a boat.???

I’m curious, have any of the skeptics work R&D at Traxxas? I’m no genius but I’m guessing Traxxas isn’t going to jeopardize their brand by marketing a bunch of garbage. Thoughts?

Run it like you stole it~

Best,
