Need help with a hull pick

[okieman98]

ok i have a shock wave 26, run it about 4 times. but after running my cat frankly bored with it no speed, so iam looking to find some sort of new hull to move everything over to and make it run fast. anybody have any ideas,


thanks

Which SW 26 you got? BL or brushed, if it is a brushed version, you are not going to gain a lot of speed by dropping the motor into another hull. Which CAT currently you have, are you looking for something faster than your cat?

Delta force 26 or bling rocket 26. I wouldn't use that hardware on the Shockwave tho. The motor yea, good 6s motor but the esc isn't up to snuff either.

the bl, i have a motley crew like the boat so far, on 4s lipo. something that will run close to it.

its 2.4g so i was wanting to use the tx and motor. and whatever i can save off of it

The 1500kv would work well in any boat within 30 inches. I have a DF26 with that motor, runs great. The DF 26 can be pushed with a higher kv motor running on 4s though, the 1500 kv in that boat is getting a moderate speed but I had no intention to push it further.
If you like CATs, consider a MeanMachine hull, drop that motor and run 6s, should be plenty of fun.
or something a bit smaller, the Srint cat 21FE:

Just my $.02

2 Cents is good, thanks, that is what info i was looking for. since i am still new to the rc boats what esc would i need to run 6 s in the mean green hull and also let me upgrade the motor at a latter time. i guessing i can still use the rx and tx off that boat. and the rudder servo or would i need to upgrade the steering. i need the nickles worth this time

I was using Seaking's 180a ESC , that was the V2 ( version2). Now there is a new one but not many people have used it yet.
Honestly I prefer a bigger motor in the mean Machine, I use a Neu 1515 1y (2200kv) , running on 4s2p. My suggestion was based on my impression that you want to use your Proboat 1500 kv motor for the time being.
Almost any 4074 sized motor would do and your kv selection depends on what kind of batteries you want to invest. If you run 4s, 2200kv would be a good choice.
The rx and tx are very good , I would however use an upgrade on your servo.

The mean machine and Sprintcat 21 are the same size hull no?

I thought the Sprint Cat is smaller, could be dead wrong though.

Actually, the two of them have the same lower hull. The top is different

Yes, you are correct, I went by Kintec's listing, it says 27 1/4" long, I don't have the MM in front of me and thought the MM is close to 30".
Thanks for pointing out!

No prob man.
