So I should be good with the Castle Creations Hydra Watercooled 120 and the AMMO 2600kv? Any starting prop suggestions?

Steve I wanted to try an XL in my out Board But I'd have to drill out the drive dog in the motor I'd rather a 3.2mm shaft thats why I went with the 9LSamuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment

Well then Steven, maybe I'll get one then. So what Feigao XL motor do you recommend for "some mind popping speed" to match up with the Hydra 120? I will be using NIMH's. Remember this is for a SV. :)
Thank you all for your input, everyone!Last edited by SweetAccord; 01-25-2008, 12:26 AM.Comment

Where'd you go Steven? Which L are you recommending?
540 6L 4,096 RPM / Volt 5mm Shaft
540 7L 3,511 RPM / Volt 5mm Shaft
540 8L 3,072 RPM / Volt 5mm Shaft
540 9L 2,731 RPM / Volt 5mm Shaft
I'm waiting to place an order with you. :)
Also any reason to stay away from the XL's?Last edited by SweetAccord; 01-25-2008, 11:07 PM.Comment

sorry I've been short handed the last few days.
I would recommend a XL motor. The xl's have more mass and torque. I have had many guys run 8xl's. the temps of the motor and esc will be much lower. more rpm is not always a good thing. It took me a while to understand that, but when I finally did, I stopped burning so much stuff up.
I'm running a syncron with a 8xl and x646 on 4s for sprint running at in the low 50mph range. So far so good.Steven Vaccaro

Ok great to see you are still alive!!! Heheheh, so not the L's now, but the XL and the 8XL specifically? So I have the Hydra 120 will be running 4600 NIMH's and you feel the 8XL Feigao in a SuperVee is a maximum setup? I want to be sure this will be the best setup for drag racing before I place an order. You see I was informed that an AMMO 2600kv can be used in the SV. You recommend the 8XL.
I'm confused you see since the 8XL is only 2,084 RPM and the AMMO is 2600kv, so it this 8XL going to be slower or is this not a fair comparison of the two? Will there be any disadvantage of the XL over the L as they are larger like you said, will the runtime be shorter than the equivalent L?
Sorry to be a pain, I hate to order and then return.
Thanks!!Last edited by SweetAccord; 01-25-2008, 11:33 PM.Comment

the XL has more torque than the ammo so in theory and practice you'd run more efficient lower amp draw, lower heat build up larger prop. but your running drags short runs...

So what should I get with this setup to run the SV27 at it's maximum capability of the hull design? I can always adjust speed with ESC and prop. sizes right? In other words what is the best Brushless runnable motor that anyone can run for this hull design? So far the highest value I have been told is the 2600kv. Is that the limit?
Will it be anything like this or faster??

It's trial and error...Time, CG, Prop...Lipo's... effortSamuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment

How hast do you want to go? There is really no reason to put a Ammo 2600 in a SV unless you just want short straight line passes.. JMO. I have had SV27's for a couple years now 2 different ones and both I left the stock escs and motors in.. I ran both on 2S2P lipos and S&B M445 prop, I get 42-44mph all day long with this set-up. No heat issues, never had anything "smoke" on me. The boat is very unstable (pushing the limit on handling) in oval race water at 42-44mph..Nothing like keeping you lipos warm and your prop wet!!

Ok that is what I wanted to know. But somehow RCprince is using a 2600 and running it successfully. How is that so then? Yes! I do want speed but and but not to hurt anything. Fast passes and being able to run with no major issues.
Any ideas still?Last edited by SweetAccord; 01-26-2008, 02:20 AM.Comment
