Yeah it's a cool little boat.
I think I figured out that I am going to go with the new water cooled 3000kv outrunner
& a 35amp esc.

At the moment I am working on my 1/10 scale so all funds going towards that build.

[monojeff]

Haven't given up on this build just been busy with work and trying to figure out what motor and esc combo I want to go with.

I am now leaning towards a tacon 2040 motor, it is a bit cheaper and smaller then the outrunner and I have seen others using it in similar sized hulls with good success.

Here is some pics of the boat top deck primed and bottom of boat before getting fresh coat of white.

Curious

Can someone tell me if you can run one of the HK Heli 450 out runners without water cooling in a mini if you did not get too wild with the prop?

I think that's the same one he had in this boat when he was running it.
I guess it's worth a try.
Thanks I will PM you.

Hay jeff

jeff sending the motor tommorrow, But look at the for sale thread mini motor's that blackcat26 has ,the same as mine but 3900kv for a good price

[monojeff]

Thanks for the heads up but I can't be spending $$ on anything at the moment, I still have a bunch of stuff I need to buy for my 1/10 scale.

Jeff that motor chud has was the one that was in that hull but got very hot!!! it was on a 3s 1500 lipo, 35a turnigy marine esc and a 427 prop,, i was told to try running it on a 2s lipo and mabe a 430 prop but i never got that far but for free try it maybe you can find a sweet spot in the setup and keep it cool....

Yeah I remembered that from your pics and us talking before.
I figured the same thing why not try it out and see what happens.
I have a bunch of small props I can try out.

Did the coils help in cooling it at all you think?
Also what kv was it again 3600???

[HYDROJERRY]

Think the kv was 4600 or 4800 cant remember for sure,,and i dont think the cooling tube realy helped being the motor has fins..
