[QUOTE=Xfactor;165850]The scorpion is 4035 is my other option. Id rather buy the little screamer but Id like to see Little Screamers Develop a real warranty thats comparable to the competition.QUOTE]

Comparing a Scorpion 4035 to a Big Screamer is like comparing grapes to grapefruit. The Screamer dwarfs the HK in size, weight and potential output. Both will put out similiar power on 8-10S1P Lipo, on 12-14S the Screamer makes big power(watts).

The Big Screamer is designed for Heavy Gas Boat conversions(16+lbs), while the Scorpion works best with lighter RTR FE setups under 16lbs. Another words i wouldn't run the Screamer in a typical FE 1/10 or 1/8 scale your just adding ballast(BTW Pro-Boats are not legal 1/8 scales). The Big Screamer will prove to be the economical choice for Gas Hydro, Cat, Mono hulls(44" plus) & Pro Boat conversions.

Scott has a very successful proven track record with the Little Screamer motors. I have no doubt the Big Screamer follow in its footsteps.

Thank you Mr Joyle but Scott has already cleared this up with me, and obviously I know the difference between 4200 watts(scorpion) and 8000 watts(littlescreamer) If you read closely I wasnt comparing performance I was comparing warranty policy.I would be running this engine in a circus conversion.

Yfactor if you read what i said you wouldn't be putting the Screamer motor in a typical 1/8 scale.

[Xfactor]

Why not? Im not racing in any sanctioned events. I do it for the 20 year love of it.Oh well.

[Xfactor]

Id rather add weight in the form of a bigger and more powerful motor thats economical versus lead shot all over the place. People have to satisfy their own needs. This is mine.

Yfactor if you read what i said you wouldn't be putting the Screamer motor in a typical 1/8 scale.

strange becasue there is two or three builds I know of that are doing just this..

[Xfactor]

Of course there are . You cant beat the price for the power. In my situation my hull is a nitro hull made out of birch and mahoghany its not light like the newer balsa and foam fe 1/8th scales that folks are building now.Randy estimates his proboat at 56mph barely pulling 60 amps running a x455.I have a x457 I plan to try first.The nitro sites recomend a x460, so somewhere in that range. Plus with the added power . I can run some 1400 series and 1600 series props. I imagine Id like to see about 100 amps put on that motor at 10s lipo. That should put me around ~5 horse.Dont get Me wrong if you look at Mr joyles stats he knows scales. I think he just thought that because it was a scale boat that I intended on running in santioned events. The motor is plenty of power for just about anything 40" or bigger.

I would like to try this motor in a 41" Falcon Cat

[Xfactor]

41 in gas catamaran hull.

Hey check this link out. A nice looking 41 inch cat on ebay seller "Head of The river".http://cgi.ebay.com/41-fibre-glass-c...26893261662446 It has such a sleek bowline reminds me of a cajun bass boat. I dont know about the hatch. Maybe it will look alot better after paint. But It's only 145.00 hard to beat. Looks like a perfect screamer project. This site sells some seemingly good hulls for cheap.

I wish you guys luck with your 8th scale builds, just keep in mind on 10S1P both motors(Scorpion 4035 & Big Screamer) put about the same power 3500-4000 watts(8000w doesn't kick-in unless your running 14S). The Screamer ads 1.5 lbs over the Scorpion, then if you go 2P add another 2-3lbs. I've raced against 20-22 lbs scales they require larger expensive ESCs and don't turn and handle as good as a 16lb scale. But since your not intending on racing, have FUN!

[Xfactor]

Yes But the scorpion only wants to see 100 amps continuous an x457 on 10s puts it around 115 amps so I imagine that motor may start to get warm. The extra weight of the motor is fine in my case cause my hull is only 8 pounds empty. The scorpion has no water cooling. Lastly I just want the headroom. My minds not set but I could use either. The Dean of my engineering department and myself are designing a 60 volt 200 amp controller. The problem is the mosfets are there with the appropriate ratings but the majority of suitable mosfets are case limited to about 120 amps,meaning that they get hotter than they can stand before they ever reach their theoretical max amp rating.. The main thing is to get them cool and make sure the traces of the pcb can handle the amp draw.

My 1/8 scale Hydros come out at about 3 pounds empty and that is heavy built. a 8 pound hull is a bit heavy.

Looks to me 4 1/2hp to 5 1/2hp in a 8th scale hydro that you don't have to get up on pipe, is more than enough for some good racing!
