I'm finally going to soon have my CF Fantasm. I am setting it up for "SAW"...I'm going to use Neu 1515 2200kv on 6S to start. I am planning on this setup to eventually be into the 100mph + class... Stingers: I really like the MBP click drives, but around $400 a set "Ouch".. I have read and been told the less expensive TFL/Kintec style stingers bend under the stress my type of setup would create... Is there anything available between the 2 ?...Rudder: I been looking at the CF rudder, is this a good idea ? I will be using a w/p digital mg Savox servo on a push pull setup....Wiring: I'm use to wiring up twin ducted fan units in jets...we always wired so all the batteries feed both esc's, so the power was equal across both esc/motor combos..should I do the same for my Fantasm ?...tks...

MTC is always a good product https://www.mtc-powerboat.de/index.p...=13&produkt=85
As far as running an all power to all ESC setup, that works well till you plug your logger into one side when the other is battery bank is already plugged in. -
Tks Shawn for the link, I had not seen those yet. I knew there had to be something in between.....I'm planning on running esc's with logging IE: castle or SF....Now am I going to get bad readouts from my esc loggers wiring it that way ?Tunnels-PS295.

I would balance your packs so they feed your esc's together. I think it's a good idea."Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction."

I'm wondering. ...say your cruising along at 90 to 100mph. .....you have a twin setup, right. ..and the right side motor/esc...whatever...goes out.... what's going to happen? Is the boat gonna hook to the side real hard and quick? Possibly destroying itself in the process....or will it just curve? I'm just wondering because in my mind it seems like that could turn bad...and none got any video of this?
Dj, it might be best (if you have the room which you should) to run everything seperate and run a seperate pack for the receiver. Just me thinking out loud. I could be wrong....32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

When one motor isn't pulling current (between timing )and the other is your C rating is higher going to the esc that's pulling current . I guess it could lead to a domino effect should something go wrong with a side . I think the electrics on a twin like it better. I had two paralleled pairs of T180's in my quad drive running 6s, casle 1515's , 447's . Never any issues at all, ran cool too. Of coarse they didn't have to work very hard pushing 15 hp."Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...

Also the esc's utilize each other's capacitors . It's just my opinion and theory . The last comment too."Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction."

If one side drops, yeah... it will suddenly dart one way. If someone was perhaps a new driver or just a little on the slow side in reacting it could cause an accident, but if you're on the ball it's not usually a big deal.
If the OP isn't running at an impba event I highly recommend isolating each side. Simpler, lower resistance, safer, etc.Comment

I was just making a jab at twins....lol...messing with you guys...carry on... lmao!
On a series note, what made me think of this is I was talking to a guy last week and he told me he knew someone that had a 1:1 twin powered cat and one of the out drives failed when he was running over 100mph. From what he told me, the boat veered quickly one way and hit something and the driver and passenger didn't survive. Sad
I hated to hear that.

Guess I got a good bit more reading and learning to do about running at a sanctioned "SAW" event ...as to what I can and cant do....tks for all the input guys...has anyone tried one of the CF rudders yet ? would that be ok to use for my fantasm....
