    suggestions for titan 29

    I have a titan 29 with motor, elec, and hardware from an SV 27. It runs in the low 30 s mph. I would like a little more speed. I'm using nimh now but want to switch to lipos, what should I get, do I need a new esc. Any other suggestions would be very helpful.

    I run a Titan 29 with CC 125A esc, Feigao 9xl, and m445 prop... She will do 44-47mph depending on conditions...

    I would first make the switch to lipos, then if you are still not satisfied with the speed, buy a X-Power 100A esc and 9-10XL from OSE!!! Then your Titan will be a notch above any stock SV27!!

    I bought it here on the OSE swapshop, hull and hardware only.... I really like the way it handles rough water...

      Or................. A Neu 1515 1Y on 4s with a Hydra 240 and a 640 will push that hull to it's limits.
      A 8XL will give you similar performance. You can get the job done with a B-125 but it won't much room for error.

      Good lookin Titan txboatpilot

            I am going to order the 9xl and esc from OSE, but I am still unsure of what to get for lipos. The neu 4s2p packs are expensive. I think 2-2s packs would be ok for me, but which ones?

              Sounds like you need some Elites 4800's... Good sport packs and some people are racing with them!

              I would just get 2/ 4S1P packs, then you dont have to buy more later! JMo

              Good Luck!

                    Hey bud, which esc are you planning on purchasing? CC125a or the Hydro120/240?

                      I was thinking the hydro 120a or x power 100a, is it worth spending the $ on the hydro 120a. If I get two 4s1p packs do I hook them both up or run one at a time?

                        I was thinking either of those 2 esc's also for my build soon using the same motor/batt setups in a Cat.

                        And on the 4s1p packs, you should be able to run them individually, or wire them in parallel to give double the runtime. (should be correct)
