King of Shaves rebuild

[Spartanator]

Hey guys. I am picking up a King of Shaves 35" P1.

Give me some tips on what to run it at/on!
I want to 4s packs in parallel. This is a boat for choppy runtime, as is my FASTech(s).

What prop?
What Rudder?
Stinger Drive or normal strut?
Motor?
ESC?
Tabs?
Fins?
Almost all info is appreciated. I have read through several other threads on this hull and but they are a bit outdated....lol

So far I have planned for a P215, SK180V3, OSE Speedmaster hardware, 4074 (2200kv).

Reason for a P215 is it is stainless and I run in salt.... The brass props look ugly after a few runs...

Travis, I hope you watching.... This project will be at your door soon... lol

Thanks in advance!

If it is for the chop a 447/3 should be the nice prop. Possibly smaller 3 blade for runtime. Look to PropShop for stainless. http://www.prop-shop.co.uk/products....purpose&page=4

And I think some sort of adjustable strut to make optimizing for water conditions should be in order.

I'll be eating popcorn after I send it you you!

You don't think the 3 blade will cause some torque roll since its a narrow hull??
I will try a 3 blade first and see how she is. I am going to add a pump that runs off the RX so when people stop me and ask about it it can cool off... Getting ready to run my Rivercat again!

A three shouldn't cause the torque roll once set up right. Enjoy that cat.

i replaced the original ruder with OSE #80057 this is a direct bolt on to the transom. I drilled holes on the bracket and used the original water pickup not the one on the ruder. I also cut the rudder and rounded the bottom front edge.
I am using the original motor mounts. I am running the Leopard 2860 2550 kv 120esc and 36m props on 3s. she only runs 36.7mph.
I ordered a set of SPC 4s and 40m props she should do 45+ I will be happy.
is your a new hull and canopy or used with motors. I am looking for a 380 2700kv outrunner for a Segad

Disregard my post, its late and I did not read P1 just KOS, this crap is not going to help your build at all. LOL

So I found a video that mentions specs:

Any thoughts on SK120V3, 3650 (1840kv) with an x445/x447 OR Prather 225?
Or what about a 3674 (1700kv)?
I need help! lol

For this hull I would recommend:

Motor: Leopard 4082 2200kv - http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...o-4082&cat=148

ESC: Mystery 200a - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mystery-RC-2...item461262aa44

My first ESC choice would be the tried and true Turnigy 180 but i dont even see them offered on Hobbyking)

Prop: x548 - http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...?prod=oct-x548

Oh, and this rudder and 3/16 stinger

Rudder: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...prod=ose-80050

Stinger: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...os-stinger-str

[Spartanator]

Thanks! I would like to have separate cooling lines (I run in the heat and I tend to have an aggressive trigger finger...) I think I'm going to go with the suggested stuff except I want a SS prop and a SK180-V3.

If I went with this rudder: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...d=ros-spdr-012

How much setback should I choose? 4" or 5"?

[Make-a-Wake]

4" setback will work well. The seaking 180 is the same as the turnigy T180 at twice the price, thats why i didnt recommend it, however if you are willing to spend the money thats the one i would get, great choice. Try to keep the prop in the 46-48mm range.

[Make-a-Wake]

The prather s225 should be a good fit.

Thanks again! I have a small discount code that knocks off a few bucks... Reason for wanting a SS prop is the bass ones kind of turn ugly-ish since I am a salt runner. Would the Castle 1515 @ 2200kv work?
Also maybe a 230 that gets cut down a bit? I want to run in 6"+ chop but when it happens to be glass I want some speed. This will be my boat wake jumper.
When I get a few bucks I'll start ordering parts, then they will go off to Travis (kfxguy) to be installed. I found a nice deal on 1515 so that's why I'm curious...

[Make-a-Wake]

I made a post right above yours that you may not have seen. The Castle is not really that much better of a motor than the Leopard, plus at 40 x 74mm it is smaller then the 40 x 82mm Leopard. The Castle motor is good for 28-33" hulls in my opinion

[kfxguy]

A 1515 is a pretty powerful motor. I prefer it much more over a leopard. That's just my opinion.
