    Going to build a df33

    I want to build a df33 I have a motor and esc already planned out just want to know if it will work out good.
    motor is a leopard 4092 1730 3D on 6s and fc240 2-8s on 6s would that work or is it too much ? I am a complete newb at building so please excuse my newbness

    Way too much IMO. That motor on 4s would be okay. 6s is a bit much for a boat that size. You would be building a torpedo.

    For me I would shoot for the low 2000kv range on 4s. Opinions will vary of course.

        It's not as much the size as it is the KV. My 6s Q sport hydro that I race is only 1250kv. That's in a 37" purpose built free running hydroplane.

        You could put Q (6S) power in that hull but for me.......it's not enough boat to support it. If I were looking to go 6s I would opt for maybe the 39" Delta and then find around a 1250 kv motor.

        For a 33" Delta I would find a nice 4s setup.

        I keep saying this but opinions will vary. I'm sure somebody is running 1730kv on 6s but at those rpm's everything has to be just right or carnage ensues.

          2000kv x 14.8 = 29600rpm

            What kv and prop would be good for a 6s setup?

                          That looks like a sweet setup going to do the same thing but w/o the rail what brand are the trim tabs,rudder,strut ?

                              Wait, not trying to sound like weiner but you said you run it on 5s and 6s and it works great but it only ran 20ft on the first run?

                              Like I said, opinions will vary.
