Traxxas Titan

[Brushless55]

Venom is junk, and everthing is imported
the reason the P1 looks better is because its going half as fast

Import as in Venom sucks
but they preach like they make everything they sell and do all the RnD. NOT!

[Brushless55]

Aquacraft=import
Delta Force=import

Dont know what your trying to imply here. How can anyone dis something that's not even out yet is beyond me.....

Who does RnD for Aquacraft? hmmmmm
and I can dis on Venom because of their past products -
and SUCKY service

Do they build it themselves? That's what I thought. Even though they create and test when it goes overseas for production things change. Simple as that!

If you got a problem with venom say it directly. Not because it's "imported"

I smell a flame war a brewing between 2 certain members ?????

I'm very fluent with Lipos and BL motors but still kinda of a noob with boats compared to most of you gentlemen and I have a question.
I know "light is fast" for any RC application but I was looking at a pic of the battery trays in the Titan and noticed they are very long.
Is this solely on the weight distribution aspect or might this also allow running say 4 lipos for instance ?
Example; 2 on each side wired in parallel then joined in series at the ESC for 10,000mah of 6s power ?
Would be a good thing or bad thing for speed and handleing ?

In a boat the size of the Traxxas Titan, the extra weight of the two additional packs to go 6S shouldn't hurt it - indeed it could help depending on the hull's aerodynamics. My Titan 29 likes to get airborne at @ 52 mph :

It is good for both reasons. Room for 4 or 6s2p ang room for cog adjustment. I think you'll find that with boats, lighter isn't always faster!

There's no war! It's just a miss understanding that's all. I took his "import" comment as he doesn't like imported items which he owns. He later cleared it up as he just doesn't like Venom. It's cool. Everyone has their own opinion.


Back on the subject. Weight can be good and bad. When you start going fast in rough stuff weight is your friend.

[BondoBrushless]

Thank you fellas for the insight.

I've had a blast with my SV27, love the boat, but my lake rarely gets calm enough to run the little SV27 all out, a 36" V-bottom is just what i need!

In my experience ride area of a vee tends to ride over waves and slap a lot - I don't think hanging out more length in the air up front will change that too much for you. I drove a new cat in rough water recently and was amazed how it handled chop... The brunt of the rough water is able to pass the ride area without slapping it.
