Nice boats but dont forget to look at the price, What budget?

[b.mcdaniel.2009]

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?

[Rumdog]

A Neu 2230 on 10s. It's not gonna happen on 6s, that's for sure. It's a big 50" cat!

[JMSCARD]

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...

Ya but go big or go home!!! Im still interested in what we've been talking about also.

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.

[FighterCat57]

The question is... can he finish it?

It's a BIG, EXPENSIVE project.

[milfiebre]

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 $$.

remember he's got a castle hv240... Bill you've got a swordfish hv240... The screamer and the castle hv240 are known to not like each other.... So I would stick with a big NEU... Or maybe one of the new big 5035 scorpion outrunners....

Ill get it done for sure Toms building it to my specs and i have my cc hydra240 hv esc, complete hull, hardware and paint. Now WHO'S GOT A BIG MOTOR FOR THIS THING!!!!!!!!!!!!! INRUNNER PREFERABLY OR OUTRUNNER I DONT KNOW LOL

[b.mcdaniel.2009]

What about the Leopard 5692 730kv on 10s 4p?

[FighterCat57]

What about the Leopard 5692 730kv on 10s 4p?

Why cut corners? The Neu and CC are known to work well together.

[JMSCARD]

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....

What about those outrunner scorpion motor you talk about jason.

[scullyeng]

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:):)

YOUR RIGHT ABOUT THAT!!! Okay then Nue 2230, or the scorpion 5035. Which would be better, Gonna run 10s 4pks. Mount?

[RCKong]

I was looking on Fleabay and saw this;http://cgi.ebay.com/RC-BOAT-New-BRIG...80331991515789

Awesome looking boat , Nice price too...

[JMSCARD]

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

A 2230........ who's got one to get ride of ............??????

[bill34207]

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?

[b.mcdaniel.2009]

Man twin 1717's or twin leopard 5692 is sounding a little better.

[bill34207]

I'm curious. Did you ever build that Thunderbolt?
Mine got wet for it's 1st time today.

Great looking boat Bill
Are you sure you dont have a bad cell or something in your 5s configuration? I would have expected a lot more out of those motors on 5s.
Looks good on 6s!

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
