??Neu for 43" Conquest

[txboatpilot]

Darin, the 1527/1.5Y (850KV) might be the ticket! I will not have this complete until late January ... I dont want any heat issues, with too small of a motor! That would sure keep this Cat lite, to use 1527 and 10S1P .... If it hits 60-65 I will be happy!!!

I'm not trying to talk you out of something you want to do... but with the significant price difference, I think it's something worth thinking about and research...

I personally think you guys are thinking WAY overkill on these motors.... but perhaps that's the goal???

Roger Newton powered his 1/8th Scale Unlimited 2005-ish Formula boat on 10S1P using a 2215 and 40-160 ESC and it was easily into the mid-70s before it would just not stay on the water any longer.... And we all thought that motor was WAY overkill for a 1/8th... Ray Fuller is doing the same with his 1/8th... 70's plus...

A 1527 would MORE than power a 43" hull into the 60's... with room to spare... and it's CONSIDERBLY less expensive...

What kind of run time did the 1/8th Formula get on 10S1P?? I have 2 4350mAh 25C 5S1P packs, and I might order some 5S1P 6000mAh 25C for the Conquest.. Or go the cheap route and buy two more 4350's..

Not completely sure on that one... I know he did at least 5-laps running VERY wide on a 1/8th course... I don't know what the cells came back with...

I take it that hull is to big for a Sport setup?? What wouil it take for say a 30 to 40 mph setup Darin?

BUT, all that said... This will be fun to watch... build away and then make some videos... I've gotta see this!!

Which sort of explains what a few of us are doing out here with the Open Cats and 1/8th hydros. We have a gentlemen's agreement that we are going to restirct motors to either the 1527 or 2280 and run 10S power.

My Avenger Cat will run a 2280/12, the 1/8th hydro is getting a 1527/1.5 Y, the Sniper is the 3060/10. All on 10S packs.

The Sniper we just got silly with, but they should be fun. I am hoping that the 44" boat on a 3060/10 will be on the quick side!!
