1/8 Dumas Atlas Van Lines setup question

[TotalPackage]

I'm headed in the same direction also with an 1/8 scale, 2215, 40.160WK and 10S1P 5000 Mah 45C. Should one of us contact the OP to ask what he finally did to fix his problem?

go 2 p 1p will work I guess but you dont want to work right near your peak do you?Whats the burst c rating for your batts 50C?

Why not have headroom?Either setup calls for 2 p by castles recomendations if fact all nue setups on that chart call for 2 p

Mostly becouse you can do it on 1P with the correct motor, prop and setup. I have ran larger hulls that require 2P but were more of a headache when it came to batt management. When a hull gets to the 20 pound mark it just doesn't handle as well. With the better cells available, less can deliver more performance.

All motors are NeuMotors. Please note battery size for each set up. Inadequate batteries in high power setups are the major cause of ESC failure! If you choose the competition system, you are close to limits and system failure will not be warranted. The sport systems are very fast and are covered under warranty

This equipment is too expensive to be tearing up and voiding the warranty. Just my opinion.Not to mention at 2p my scale still wont hit 20 maybe 16 pounds. Chuffs scale is 19 pounds running like a bat outta hell so its good for me. Dont know if hes 2 p but im speaking of the weight in his case. In fact Hes runnin a 1527 now dont no his wind tho.As far a battery configs you gotta get the right form factor I mean you cant go buy 8 3s packs to go 12s 2p you have to go 4 6 s packs or 2 12s packs if you can find it or you build the pack yourself.Theres no question that you will hit harder with a 2 p setup.

Can't commit to any races currently. Aside from the local scene.

TotalP,

Been running scales for a few years and know that 1P is very doable. But if you start with a hungry motor you will need to 2P. All I'm trying to say is that less can be more. You do need to be careful when setting up and testing though.

90C. I've run the numbers and it looks like at 1P I'd have 90 seconds at full throttle. Not much but I don't plan to hold the trigger down for 90 seconds straight. Maybe a few bursts of 20 seconds at the most, by then I'd run out of water. I've got room to fit 2P, but don't want to spend the $$$.

[islandboy]

Why do you all insist on running a motor that is better suited for a rigger? That motor is a bit overkill. 1527's and pletts and outrunners will do the job without killing the cells. Most likely he had to run 2P or never bothered.

Ordered a 1527 but that motor was on never ending back order. 2215 easy to get (3 day delivery).

havent seen a scale with a 1527 run in the 70's which is my target for my circus saw or not I wouldnt want to wouldnt risk ruining a high dollar esc but then again its not my money.All the money youve spent to this point whats a few more dollars on batteries to protect it all and make sure you have the juice to do what you want to do?If it were my scale Id much rather have a 2215 for anything outside of club racing.BUT YES a 1527 will do a good job of pushing a scale boat and from what ive seen even on the weighs close to 20 pounds.Id still rather have a 2215 and 2p
