Thoughts & advice?

[Steveee]

Hi everyone,
I'm pretty new to these forums so go easy :)
I have currently built up my first FE mono and wanting to get so advice and feedback, so any comments are appreciated.
Haven't taken it out on the water yet, but just want to make sure it's all ok :)
Here are the details :
Hull : Deltaforce 33' mono hull
Motor : Neu 1515 1Y 2200kv
ESC : Castle Creation Hydra 180Hv
Lipo : 2 x Maxamps 3 cell 11.1v 6000mah running parallel

Any comments / feedback would be much appreciated :)

Thanks,
Steve

what speeds do you want to reach ?

what speeds do you want to reach ?

Probably somewhere around the 50mph+ range if possible... Oops, forgot to mention prop... Octura M445 is what I was thinking.. But open to advice :)

for that speed your going to need to run 4`s with that kv so you can have some run time and speed(mid 40`s) and if all you want is speed(mid50`s) then go for 5`s but it your going to have to monitor your temps and your not going to have as much run time.

Your batteries aren't going to work. You have a 4s motor and your running 3s in parallel which is only 11.1v total, you don't want to run them in series because that's 6s 22.2v. You need new batts, to make that setup work. Also I would run 4s2p (2x 4s batts in parallel). Don't run 5s, focus on 4s!

* I'm not sure what the voltage range on the esc is, I see 50v max which doesn't matter, they low end may be a issue. A lot of hv esc's are minuim of 5s, I'm not sure what that castle minuim is. You may need to check that.

+1. ordered a hv esc by mistake once, didn't realize it until it wouldn't arm on 4 s.

I think 50 should be within reach on 4 s

Diesel is on the right track. Two 4s batteries, parallel for 14.4 volts. I would recommend starting with the m445 and then moving up to a m447 or a prather s230. these last two props will move you well into the mid to upper 50's. I have a boat that is the same size and with the same motor. Currently, I am running the prather s230 on it. I would add I am running a T180amp esc.

I have a neu 2200kv in a 29" mono on 4S1P with an x442 prop that runs in the low 50's, and temps are good. I'm using a ccHydra240A ESC but I think your 180 would be fine.

Thanks everyone for you help :) I will keep you posted on progress :)
