a bunch of questions

Ammo 2300 motor
Ammo 2600 motor
SV27 1600 Motor
SC27 ESC <-- No lipo low voltage cutoff
SV27 ESC cooling plates
UL-1 ESC <-- YES lipo low voltage cutoff

before brushless powering that, I would be inclinded to scuff the inside of the hull and lay a floor of carbon or fibreglass to reinforce things so it doesnt blow apart and to reduce flex

Also you will want to cut the skegs off the bottom that the old stuffing tubes ran through.

Ammo sounds like a good choice

ya i think i'm going to CF the floor of the boat....and ya i am going to cut the old skegs off......

will i need to build a skeg for the new stuffing tube to run through??...can somebody give me a picture or something

The 2300 ammo and the SV27 ESC pushed my Pro Boat Miss Bud Hydro to 37.2 MPH.
Your hull is far lighter, so it should be faster.

Just run the tube right out the bottom.

ok i was planing on running the fiegao 540l motor and a castle creations 120amp esc..the esc you put up there is only 60 i think....i'm thinking that would have way less power=the boat being way slower??......

Edit: i missed your post

[Diegoboy]

the number on the ESC isn't what is provided to the motor for speed. It's an amp rating. The motor you choose will be asking for a certain amount of amps, and the ESC better be able to deliver or you'll see smoke.
The 540L (Assuming a 9L) is 68A max. So you'd want an ESC that is around 80A or better.

The Aquacraft SV27 ESC is grossly underrated. Doby runs a 72A motor on his without any issues. (rated at 45A)
I run the 2300 ammo on mine, with no issues

ya thats what i said....540L with 120esc..

this is the motor: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...i-540L&cat=116

[Diegoboy]

540 7L 3,566 RPM / Volt 5mm Shaft 88A
540 8L 3,201 RPM / Volt 5mm Shaft 77A
540 9L 2,731 RPM / Volt 1/8" Shaft 68A
540 9L 2,887 RPM / Volt 5mm Shaft 68A

Which 540L?

i guess that would help you a bit lol.....probobly 10 or 13...i'm not real sure on what kv i would need

[domwilson]

A 8XL or 9xl and a hydra 120 should be fine. unless you plan on running into a wall or SAWS I wouldn't worry too much about the fiberglass. Just have fun.

[LST XXL]

so i could run a XL with the 120amp..sweet!!....

and if the hull breaks it does give me an excuse to get a better one lol..i'll probobly just lay a sheet of fiberglass in there any way..i have the cloth..is the a special resin i need to use?

[Diegoboy]

An ABS boat doesn't need an XL motor. It doesn't have any weight to it.

If you insist on a Feigao. I'd go with a 12L and the UL-1 ESC (if you're running lipo) or the SV27 ESC.

A 12L motor on an SV27 ESC will be just as fast as the same boat with a 12L and a hydra120.

[domwilson]

I have a cheap ebay boat that runs fairly well with a brushed astroflight marine 40 and a 45 mm prop. Who cares as long as you are enjoying yourself? Dude, go for it and be happy. You'll learn from this experience and be happy.

[Diegoboy]

I'm just trying to make your wallet happy too. No need to spend over $100 in ESC when a lesser one will do the same. But if you've got it like that then buy it all!

[LST XXL]

lol....the faster i go the happier i'll be lol....i'm just going to go with a 540 i'll figure out witch one after lol....and the 120amp esc....i know i don't need all that power for a abs hull but if i decide to get a fiber glass hull after i want it to be able to move that pretty good to...

thanks for your help guys..i think i've got most of the info i need to get this goin

and i'm not a cheap guy..i'm one to "get the good stuff" lol
