Dang, I slept on this. I completely forgot to get back to this thread.

Good luck with the build!! Make sure to share the end results.

yeah Jeff start a build thread and video of the maiden

[midnightsabotage]

Will do. Just need to take some pictures of it as it sits to start. I'll link the thread in my signature once it's started like I have for my sv27 and sprintcat.

Might be a slow build like the sprintcat of mine, but I hope to atleast get the holes in the hull and the seams filled & smoothed out soon. Need to figure out motor mounts too. Hobbyking has a twin set of aluminum ones for one of their minicats, might do the trick. Otherwise it'll be an order to kintec for a sheet of carbon fiber & I'll have to cut my own to fit. Need new stuffing tubes of the right size too.
Also wouldn't mind finding cooling jackets for my 24mm inrunners. Fear I'm not going to have much luck there though. I do have aluminum coils from my AQ mini wildcat that'll fit them fine, but doubt they're very efficient in cooling.

Blah, I'm rambling! I'll cover all this in the build thread :)

Anyone have suggestions for good 28mm inrunners on 3s? I really don't have a lot of confidence in finding a good cooling solution for those 24mm's
Hope to draw just under 35amps each so I can use a pair of those turnigy/seaking escs.

Hi Jeff,

Consider this motor. ADS300. My friend used one of these little suckers in a 17ins. mini deep-V with great results. Plus it's already watercooled. I can't seem to attach the photo but check out the link below. Hope this helps.

So you're saying that 2 of them in a 17" micro cat would be insane I hope?

[tagasagwan]

Yes! it's a shooter for sure! hahaha! If you decide to get these motors, replace the 3 small screws at the backplate coz they're not made of stainless steel and they rust.

Hello brother Stephen

Are you referring to the attached pics below? hehehe
Its actually a ADS400L (there's also an XL version) - a 2830 size outrunner with water cooling built-in. 3700KV
I am using it in a Joysway offshore warrior mini deep vee - its actually just 15" (17" including the rudder) with a 32mm metal prop - trully insane speeds!

If you plan to use 2 of these motors, better add wings and join the rc plane group! hahaha

Good luck in the build midnight and hope you can share your build in the forums :)

Thanks macdon for posting the photo and right specs. jeff the friend I was referring to was macdon. He's the one who used the motor.

good deal... but macdon, you're using a single ADS400L in your mini v right? Not the 300... Wonder if 2 300's would be a big jump from the 1 400...

I like that the 400L is a 28mm, but the 40amp max might mean I'll need to look at new speed controls too. Already had one of the turnigy/seaking 35's. Oh well. If I went with one of those though, the XL is the same diameter & goes up to a 45amp max. 400less kv, but I'm sure i'd more than make up for it with a slightly larger prop. I'll figure it all out!

Anyhow, I think it's best to discuss this elsewhere. This is in the for-sale forum & the boat is sold.

As such, I started a thread HERE if you guys want to talk some more about it
:)

Thanks!
-Jeff
