Introducing the "Prince" rcbt-1111

[planezero]

...and yes the stock delta hulls will perform way better than a stock sv hull.

Why is that, because it's a shallow vee ?

Here you go Tech this is a link to the SV motor and esc combo. Planezero from my understanding if you look at each boat the Delta is more a race boat. The SV is a is kinda of a race boat/have fun runner because it was meant for first timers but you can make it fly if you have the funds. Also it looks like the delta has more hull below the deck you can see this when you look at them from the side. This would help the boat get a nice running surface and keep its CG real low.

This is the preferred set up on another site:

Motor...Ammo 2300kv
Esc... HiMark 200A (with bec)
Prop... Octura X637
Batteries...4s Lipo (2 x 2s packs in series)

Thoughts? Brett.

from what it says here you are going to pull a maximum of 100Amps but you have to remember this is not continuous.
If you dont know what that means it essentially means you will pull X amount of amps while driving. Max amps are
what you pull from the start or if you wrap the prop in somin etc.
Ammo 2300kv
If you dont want a 200amp esc a 150amp will work just as well here are 2 that will work.

The second Pic shows a BEC though it says in the description "no BEC".

Are the prices shown AUST$ or US$?

What are the pros and cons of BEC setups in FE boats?
Is there any advantage having a dedicated RX battery in a boat that uses lipos?

Thanks for the feedback, Brett.

picture is wrong. I will be changing it tonight. price is in US dollars

Im still learning to and this is one thing im still trying to learn about to. Maybe the next time steve logs in he can help us with that.

has more to do with the beam (width)

[Ocean Racer]

im not sure about that becaus ethe SV has a little wider hull than the delta. Thats also what i was thinking till i saw that.

[planezero]

My first thoughts were a shallow vee would have more hull in the water when on plane compared to the SV and that would probably give a more stable ride.
But I have no experience with a DF.

I'm asking cause Ill be looking for a new boat come spring and am having doubts wether to go for a 45" DF, a Toy Sport Cat or an expensive 2 engine H&M Drifter XL cat build.
Looking for high top speed and a stable ride rather than any cornering ability...

My main complaint with the SV was constant flipping at higher speeds...

Take a shallow V to the extremes, and you end up with a Cracker Box... NOT the most stable boat in the fleet!

The shallow V creates more lift and won't always handle the power as well as a deeper V... There are obviously other factors as well, so this is more of a general comment...

Found a bottom pic.

Here is the bottom of the boat.

Found it on ebay. The bare hull is $49US.

those boats are great the are available from r2 hobbies, i have run one with an ammo 2300 & 2600 & a hydra 240, boat runs very well and stable, i ran this boat on 2x 2s 25c 5000mah packs and it was dynamite... and the hulls are very nicely laid up and quality finished.

The Prince has a much lower profile, compaired to the SV27.
The Cowl detail and sides of the SV27 hull are much taller.
The bow boint on the Prince is also much sharper.
The lower center-of-gravity of the Prince alone would be a huge advantage in the handling.

Yes/No?
