Have a look to MHZ big hulls
http://www.mhz-powerboats.com/shop/waren238.htm
Nice boats but dont forget to look at the price, What budget?
Going with toms express thunderbolt hull. Love the design and price. Going single motor with a cc 240 hv esc on 6-10s. Whats a good motor to push this hull into the 50-60+ mph range?
A Neu 2230 on 10s. It's not gonna happen on 6s, that's for sure. It's a big 50" cat!
And you'll want a 2p setup too... 5000 mah and gonna cut it for a 2230... So I'm sure rummy meant 10s2p.... Brad that budget is gonna get busted up bad with a 50" cat.... No reasonable way to do it....:) not yet anyway in this day and age... In another few years will probably be an easy task...
Budget .. Make it a screamer! THUNDERBOLT is a nice choice ,Tom makes alot of nice hulls and this is definetley one of them.cant wait to see it.
The question is... can he finish it?
It's a BIG, EXPENSIVE project.
1500.00 bucks you can do it.
I've been working on accumulating most of the parts for mine a little at a time. Once everything else is rounded up I'll spring for the hull and be building the same one with twin 1717's. I know... HV means less amps but 6s 2p twins should still move it along well for a lot less $$.
What about the Leopard 5692 730kv on 10s 4p?
I think the 5692 is comperable to a 2215 right? Like rumdog says slap a 2230 in and be done with it.... A single 2215 Or leopard 5692 in a 50" boat is gonna be overworked some....
Has anyone been able to figure out what it takes to get a Little Screamer motor to run properly and to its full potential?
Also has anyone gotten a straight answer from the Little Screamer factory on what settings this motor should be run at and what kind of power it makes?
I talked to Scott at little screamers and he told m slow start and high timing.... It's the only thing I'm changing on my schulze 40-160wk as I'm gonna run it this weekend if the weather cooperates in my df sniper.... I bench tested the screamer on 10s with my schulze and was smooooooth with no stuttering, etc., I also talked to gerwin and he says "run it" so that's what I'm gonna do!!! Anyway I think a big scorpion... The new 5035 would push your hull.... I have a nib 4035 that would compare powerwise more close to a 2215 neu.... So long story short I think it's to small for your application too.... You say you'll be happy with 50 or 60 but you weren't with your genesis and you def won't be with a big hull!!!! Lol:):)
I was looking on Fleabay and saw this;http://cgi.ebay.com/RC-BOAT-New-BRIG...80331991515789
Awesome looking boat , Nice price too...
If you are running 4 packs for 10s I assume you mean 4, 5s packs? If so you will be running 10s2p.... Not 10s4p....
But if it were money no object no question I'd go 2230.... Heck money no object I'd go lehner 3080:) if it is a big issue... Scorpion 5035 or screamer and buy a swordfish hv240 and save the castle hv240 for your next build....lol

If you can't find one anywhere else you can always look to Neu's main retailer

Again you may wait 4-8 weeks to get one
Scorpion is sounding better all the time, huh?

Man twin 1717's or twin leopard 5692 is sounding a little better.
I'm curious. Did you ever build that Thunderbolt?
Mine got wet for it's 1st time today.

The 5s set was only 1p and the packs have some age. I think they were dropping voltage under load. There was no real difference in power/speed from 1/2 to full throttle with those. They still work with the prop plane they are normally used in but were not up to the job of pushing the big cat. Chances are a good pair of 40c packs would have made a much better showing on 5s
