[Doby]

Steven, ( and everyone else); Just got a great deal on a Proboat 1/8 Miss Elam Hydro,,,,,,time to do another conversion.

Motors??? Props????Speed Controls????? Etc.......

Let the discussion begin .:D :D

[Steven Vaccaro]

Well what kind of speed are you looking for? Maybe 10s for power?

Video from 7/7/07 of a 8S NEU 1521/2Y Atlas Van Lines 1/8 hydro. Turn your sound on.

This club in the Northwest has a lot of experience with 1/8 hydros.

Its gona take a bigger motor..probably bigger than a kb. You possibly may be able to get away with an HV110 & I agree on 10-S. I would try 8s. Motor is the real question here.

[Bill-SOCAL]

FWIW that Atlas Van lines boat in the video will be run on 10S this year with a 2280 most likely.

Edit: It might actually be a Neu 1527, but I can guarantee you that it will be 10S!!

I've got 10S packs form my V-24 mod,,,,,speed, 45Mph+

I think I would go with 10S 1P 5000 pack on a 1527 as about the smallest I would go with the Pro Boat hull. A 10S 2280 or NEU 2215 would be even better!
