Wow...fun and cheap...nice job! Can you give us more details? 3S mah? KV or motor u used an prop.

Little boats are really becoming a fun and cheap alternative.

Hi yes, Ita a Turnigy Nano Tech 3s 2200mah 40c - 90c. Motor is a cheapo unbranded i got from Hong Kong 28mm diam x 36mm long 3800kv outrunner heli motor. Prop is an Octura metal x435 sharpend & balanced. Ive used 3 different makes of outrunners all the same size but variying in kv ie 3450,3600 & 3800 & the props these little outrunners turn is unbelievable, Its a big prop i think for this size set up but it certainly dosnt sound over proped at all. I think it would take more prop still. This is way i asked the other day about extra drag using a rudder water pick up & have been thinking about a flush one in the hull. It may help with more speed with some thing as small as this boat & when power is more limited than in a bigger boat. Esc is a 60 amp, Again a cheapo that i got in the UK. Thanks Martin.

I intend to use this set up or simular (possible prop change to a bigger prop) on one of the JAE design Mini Sprint hydros. I think it could run well into the 60s. But well have to see. Thanks Martin.
