Super Daytona motor pick!

[iridebikes247]

Adam with the x465s I sent you the 2028 will get you 80 mph. A bad A*& prop would be the x470 prop reduced to x460 by andy brown. The 2028 motors aren't too much for the hull as the props are counter rotating all should even out. Launches should be impressive, the boat should be able to flip itself over with a WOT launch, pretty crazy for a 30lb boat

Got the neu-castle 2028s. Anyone have or know who has some water jackets for these monsters. Steve is out.

Leopard 1090 10s would have done better for what u wanted or tp5850. You will big props with the 2028 witch will lead her to be unstable. People in this thread gave the wrong advice the boat will not go over the 80 range neu 2215 1y would be great choice as well.

[Chrisg81983]

This was not meant in a negative way sorry if came across that way but from what I was told u wanted to go 100 plus and this wont do it safely. I had these motors and already tried it and mike already told u this. This setup is good for high 80's in this boat if that.

[blowNover]

Chris I know you have a much more experience and knowledge then I. And I am willing to learn. As far as this build I would love to see it break 100 that's my hope. But it's also something I'd like to have for a while and as far as I know the only people that stand behind there motors other then castle are neu and Lehner. I would love either of those but in no way can I afford them right now. For what I have I actually wasn't thinking a very large prop but maybe something a little more pitchy. I know it won't bite nearly as hard out of the hole but (now correct me if I'm wrong) it should give me the top end and the stability needed.

[blowNover]

So I've got to ask. What size hull is needed for these motors to spin the paddles they like?

[blowNover]

Chris do you think I would see more speed out of set of tp 5850s or the new Leo 56110 or Leo 58110?

[iridebikes247]

Tp5850 for sure Chris would agree I'm sure. The motor is amazing from what we've heard bro.

[blowNover]

Ok let's say I may go with a different set of motors. I was thinking a set of the tp 5850 1150kv 6d wind on 10s.

[twissted]

That is the way to go. if money is a issue them look at HOR Racing they have 5694 motors in 800kv and 1200kv. In my build I went with the 1200kvs and will be running Nano 8s 5000 60-130c batteries. This keeps the weight down and makes over 10hp per motor. I plan on running 6s as well. The props that I'm trying first are a stainless 3 blade counter rotating that are 55mm.

This shows my lay out. It is different than other boats. And that is for a reason. I like to be different in how I do things. I like the motors in front of the batteries because the drive shafts are almost strait. weight is really good as well.
Good luck with your build. Remember weight kills! harder crashes and slower boat. so when beefing the hull think of the stress points. the rudder is a big one! I built a one piece plate that holds the rudder bolts in place. I have seen it here as well. there are some great builds here that you can learn from. I have.

That is the way to go.

How does that boat run anyway Twisted...? Video?

[twissted]

I can show a video of the same motor in a 4x4 1/5 scale XBE buggy ( I put mesh over the vent holes in the back of the motor) but I haven't finished the boat. I have other builds that I have been working on and I also had to move so time on the boat has been on hold for awhile. I have started working on it again, and should be done soon. I'm looking to do another boat build for this winter as well. I'm looking at the Centralrcmarine Mystic with the added carbon added to the hatch and hull. I see that they have some awesome motor mounts for electric builds for the hull as well. They may work on other boats as well. Since the boats that I build use a lot of carbon through out the hull I would make my motor mounts as well. but for those of you that have a file and time would want these mounts. on my next build I think I will try mounting the motor mounts like Cooper did with his saw build. Hid did some nice work and I learned a lot for this build.

P.S. The motor in the buggy makes amazing power! I'm trying to manage the heat. The Castle Duel fan is in the works. I have no dought the motor would push a 8 foot catamaran very well. With a pair of 4s 5800 40c lipos I get 15 min. of run time. I think that with the 8s 5000 60c lipos that will be running my boat will get the same run times or better since the heat will not be a factor. These motors are a steal at 100.00 a pop! and if your looking for big power then you should try these. You will thank me, I'm shure of it. Thes are 6 pole motors and should have big esc's to push them. The 300 amp from Fliermodel.com are just what are needed. you can see these in action push a big cat here. I think it's a MHZ 240cm. It runs well with motors much like the SSS5694 that I have. The materials that are use are much the same in design and materials. If you took the sticker off the TP Power Pro motors and put them next to the HOR Racing SSS motors you couldn't tell the difference! So what does that tell you?

If you want to know where the path leads, ask those who are on their way back...

If you're going to take advice from this thread, make sure it's from someone who has experience with what you're trying to do. (outside of bench racing)

To correct an earlier post in this thread, I would not put lehner on the list of those who "stand behind their motors". The quality is excellent, but don't expect a warranty.

I can show a video of the same motor in a 4x4 1/5 scale XBE buggy ( I put mesh over the vent holes in the back of the motor) but I haven't finished the boat.

Just so the OP is not confused, your recommendation of HOR motors and stated HP output is NOT based on any actual data that you have collected running them in the same hull?

[twissted]

you can pick and choose as you like. how much are the motors that your asking this to pay for? And since you haven't tried the SSS motors and are asking him not to try them based on your experience with them. Where does that leave you. I'm asking him to look into very well made motors that are well made. and the cost is worth looking into. I also have other large motors that are very nice that skyrc makes. I like them and they make a lot of power also. The beast motor that I run in my 1/5 losi 5ive is a 910kv 2y motor that is incredible. And is also a good motor to look at. I just don't think it is make as well. yes these are my opinions as are all that read here. O own the motors and run them in conditions that are more harsh then running in a boat. So stick that in your bench top and smoke it!
P.S. If your going to bash me don't you think you should try it first? Or you working with something that I'm not aware of? Common sence maybe? Or spec. from the motors maybe? Got anything to back up what your saying, is what I'm asking, Keith?
I have another boat that runs over 60 mph that is 42" long and runs the SSS motors and there small motors 3670 2050kv with 45mm props and get better than 15 min. of run time. You have such a boat. How much money do you have into it? I bet I have half in to mine. Yes I bought it new.

the losi 5ive on left is a factory piece that has the OBR Full mod 30.5 motor and the one on the right is a total custom build that isn't a Losi at all, it runs the Skyrc monster is is a very complex machine. Build one of these and we'll talk. The boat on top is a Zonda with a custom paint gob and has one piece shafts and cnc 45mm props. Yes, they see some bench time!
