33'' mono twin setup

[Sheffield]

Hello,
I need your help about a twin setup for a 33'' mono.

Motors : Dr Mad Thrust 2970 2200kv
https://hobbyking.com/fr_fr/dr-mad-t...sion-29mm.html

ESCs : Seaking 120A

Batteries : 5S

Thanks

So....what kind of help do you need?

[Doby]

2200 kv motors are more suitable for 4S.

[Speed3]

That motor may be limited to a 35 to 37mm prop on 4s. Just a thought, two motors will require two speed controls, counter rotating prop pair, two set of batteries, while a single is one of each. A motor like a 4082 or 4092 will give that boat all it can handle.

Ok I understand,

If I use 2200kv motors the batteries must be 4S. If I want to use my 5S batteries I must choose 1900kv motors.
Looking to the size of the hull which choice lookk better ?

[Speed3]

1900kv on the 5s will be better than 2200 on 4s.

What do you want to do with the boat - sport run, oval race, speed runs, long run times? The motors are rather small for a 33" hull. They will "work" but I think you will be much happier with 36mm motors. Unlike the tiny motors you plan to use, they will swing props large enough to be efficient with that hull.

It doesn't matter whether you use separate packs for each motor or both motors pull from the same pack. You will need enough capacity for the amp draw regardless of the number of motors.

Is a set of two Aquastar 3660 1700kV a good choice with 5S voltage ?

[Fluid]

That's a better choice IMO. Loaded rpm should be around 25,000 with the ability to spin a larger prop. You should be able to spin counter-rotating x442s for speeds in the 40s. You can probably go up to x447s with large enough ESCs, 100 amp minimum. Speeds approaching 50 mph.

...And I would use struts and put them as low as possible..and as narrow as possible. Maybe 50 mm apart so you can prop up.

That's a nice add in to note for a build of mine, thanks!

[Nevs]

Its just logic. The propshaft can probably be anything between 2 and 8 mm lower on a strut then a powertrim. So you will have anything between 2 ang 8 mm more prop in the water...imagine a deep V hull with the drives 10 cm apart..Even a 447 could not, (or barely), toutch the water in an upright hull position.

[Sheffield]

Great, thank you for your help. Anyway the voltage will be 5S / 18,5 v . Last question about motors, what do you think about those outrunner motors ?

Scorpion HK3026 - 1900kv



Thanks

Well powerfull motors, (193 g). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3KCKjPuZkc
I am curently running a pair of HK Helidrive 49-56, (about 350 G) / 1350 kv /6s /55-14 props in a heavy 15 pound mono..No problem. So if your boat runs well and not build to heavy (6 pounds ?) I think it would be great.

[Nevs]

if money matters you could get aprox. the same power by using these. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/rotorsta...size-heli.html
And they are not 14 pole, but 6. I know the "new" T-180 works perfect with at least up to 8-pole.
