Twin Powered Hydro....Drag boat
Twin cats are neat and I like them and will do one. Not at the moment. I have another idea.
Twin shaft hydro....Drag boat.
Here are the rules. Simon style. No classes or rules here and no power restrictions or specs.
It will be twin motor, 2 shafts and a pair of 430 c/r props.
I will draw and build the hull, no question there
Now what I am after is possible hull size recommendations and power options.
Possible candidates for power are 400-450 size outrunners with a kv that will suit 3S or 4S power
I chose 3S or 4S to keep the amps downs and there are a lot of very affordable and small packs that will suit. The pack is the least of my worries at the moment as I can spec one to fit the motors that will go in there.
Performance.
I am looking for full blown drag boat launch style. Airborne out of the hole and then settle with a big fat and tall roost. This is a show boat.....for me !!
I would like to get 40mph or more. If twin heli size outrunners are not going to do it on 430’s then I will have to go with 380 size inrunners and the appropriate esc’s.
Hull
Shape will be based loosely on the Whiplash hydro , particularly for the underside shape and proportions.
Your thoughts and ideas please. Preferably positive.
