I've had this on my mind for a while, to try and exceed 70mph with my little 26" mini rivercat. I font know why, just because I guess lol. I base lined it at 54mph originally. That was with a 40mm proboat miss geico prop and no adjustments. The setup has not changed since I built it. Fun little boat, just want to see what it's speed limit is. I feel like if I made a thread on it, I'd be more inclined to work on it and get Working towards my goal. Follow along as I mess with this little pocket rocket. I'm welcome to ideas and I may be changing some stuff up. Here's what it has now:
Motor: discontinued castle 1512 1800kv
esc: mamba monster 2, fins cut off, custom water cooling block
Servo: proboat
Drive: .187/.187 flex
Hardware: fightercat inline strudder converted to offset
Batteries: revolectrix, (2) 3s 5500 70c in series
Prop: right now, stock proboat
Plans: try x642, x443 cnc, prather 215 props. Possibly an esc swap and motor swap. Plan on a 2050kv 1515 neu or a small lehner.
