I'm excited! So you are running 12s1p on each scorpion? and with large props too.... this should go like stink! definately get us some video.... even Randy "Rearwheelin" Duke would give you a nod' of the cap on this one... lol....Very Nice Setup... I am couning up to see "Ballpark" what this setup would run.... eeeshhhh

8 X 6s G3 45c hyperions= $ 2160
4 X Castle esc's= $1000
4 X Scorpion 4035's= $756
4 X Andy Brown props= $450

Ouch... this isn't a cheap build... Thats well over $4000 before you even start looking at Hull/Hardware/Flexes/Cooling components, etc., etc....

Nice Setup....

[dasboata]

Nice build 4 props $450 is that correct I need to raise my prices LOL

[domp444]

Wow! That is beautiful. I can't wait to see it run.

[kjohnsiii]

Nice boat! I cant wait to see what it does on the water.

I was guesstimating...lol.. this isn't my build I was just adding it up... if they are andy brown props are they "done up" i assumed...

[Brushless01]

Dont you also have one of those hulls with four castle motors ?

[Doby]

I think theres still room for two more motors.......

[bill34207]

I gotta stick around to see how this one comes out. It's gotta be fast.

[Stephavee]

that a crazy cat man... shut those nitro boats down....and make em cry!

[RIPFENCE]

ridiculous build..awesome

[bill34207]

that a crazy cat man... shut those nitro boats down....and make em cry!

Chances are they'd want to incorporate something into the rules requiring a de-tune on electrics with an "unfair advantage, in the spirit of sportsmanship".
Heck, my 50" twin can give a glow or gas a good run for it's money.

[Brushless55]

Unreal!

[rearwheelin]

I think the a quad drive just went big time !!!!!!............Careful getting on the throttle to fast !

[bedrock]

Thanks Guys

Dasboata - The props were done here in Australia by AndyM - fantastic job

Brushless01 - I have a MHZ Iceberg running 2-2215 2Y's

rearwheelin - thanks mate - I was inspired by your build - cant wait to get this in the water!!!

I have 4 Castle 2028 780KV Motors on order will put a couple in this hull if the Scorpion's dont work out - Having some custom Water Jackets made as we speak

Thanks
Dean

LOL so you were the one who ordered 4 of them. I was wondering what they were going in (should you use them that is )...glad to see they're being put to good use. Fellow speed freak myself. Can't wait to see the end result!

[rearwheelin]

Be very carfull when punching the throttle , even at speeds around 60mph mine will nose up and catch air ! It is a steady increase that will keep you on the water. I have blown mine over at over 70 and twice at 50 mph all because of hitting the throttle to hard. I dont think you will need water jackets but the wieght will be benificial. I am guessing your speeds to be in the 70's with the 800 kv motors. You have soo much power though. Everything should run pleanty cool ! P.S. I would thrust with your struts. I use Octura thrust washers and leave a gap about the thickness of a thumb nail. Thrusting with my motors caused alot of lift on the back end and made mine handle wierd. My opinion when building a boat that thrusts with motors has to be planed so that the motors angle in the hull is as the direction of thrust..... Set up looks nice and clean ,Good job !

[JMSCARD]

Randy I didn't know they made water jackets for outrunners? :) I think you were thinking water cooled motor mounts.... But you are right about the super sick setup and I bet those quads can put out some serious bow lifting thrust... Ha ha... Had to pick on ya about the water jacket thing...

[H2OCamel]

wow that is one clean looking build! Can't wait to see it run! Make me sad my 54in super hawaii never made it to the states. I wanted to do a four engine model of the real thing. post video!

oh gotcha...lol.... the outrunners are around 800kv too so I jumped to conclusions... ha ha.... I haven't seen you run an outrunner in any of your boats so I didn't know if you recognized it... my bad...

[Rich]

I am grabbing a seat for this one . . .

[keithbradley]

Very cool build Dean. Its been a while since I have seen you around here...looks like you have been busy!

[bedrock]

Thanks Keith

Yep I hope she goes fast - its been raining here for a few day's so I have not had a chance to test

If not I will replace motors with the New Castle 2028 motors 780 KV'S that i have on order from Castle - I am having Water jacket's made for these as we speek
I'm sure this will move this hull!!!
