How would you do it?

My new hull will be here tomorrow. 37" carbon fiber shocker. I can't decide single or twin. I can go either way. I have parts to do a twin or for a single all I need is a motor mount. Here's my thoughts:

Single:
Easier, less parts to fail.
May not be as fast
More run time
I have props and flex shafts
Boat will be lighter
Easier to work on

Twin:
Sounds cool
May be faster
Heavier
Less run time
Don't have props or shafts
More parts to fail
Harder to work on


For the single I planned on a 1527 neu on 6 or 8s with a fightercat 101 esc which will leave me a spare one as I have two.

For the twin I was thinking castle 1515 2200 kv motors. Or tp motors of equal size and kv. If I have an esc fail I'll have to buy two more because I can't get anymore fightercat esc's. That's a big down fall to me for the twin.

What would you do? Give me some insight to this guy's if you don't mind. I'd like at least 80mph out of it. Thx

Twin
T180
fc 2200kv outrunners
1x6s

Twin castle 1515's t-180's and 5s1p per side running 442's or detounged 447's. Fast. Good run time. In fact, your run time will not be drastically different going single vs twin.

6s will work just as well with that setup. And be extremely fast, if set up correctly.

Tp has the 4070 out now it's 40x100mm, the same size as the Neu 1527 and comes with 8mm shafts, very cool....I will be buying a couple

how could you get a shocker and not go twin? thats the question.....

you seem like a very able guy, and have an understanding of the hobby. you are fully capable of building yourself a bulletproof twin

Thanks! :) I was afraid this thread was going to go in this direction lol

Twin. More parts to break but less stress on all of em. You'll love how it gets on plane....oh and the top speed too.

I wasn't being sarcastic or anything...

No no man....nothing bad. I knew it was going to go in the "twin" direction is what I meant. Sorry for not being specific... :)

I had been thinking about doing that hull too. Whatever you do I'll be watching

I really really like castle motors. I think a pair of 1515 2200's would be stout on 5s and 6s. The esc's I have had left that with no problem. I could do a pair of 1717's for some overkill. That's another option I was thinking. Those will swing some serious props.
