Brushless Mirco Boat
 

Well I have never seen a brushless boat on this form, so I figured I would post mine:

I bough the hull from here: http://206.206.85.209/xtdoc/Details....H&store=mhzusa

I am using a Mamba 25 ESC, with this motor: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJAB4&P=7

I have it set up with a 2cell Lipo and 33mm carbon prop. It very small, fast and a lot fun.!

Enjoy!

Very cool. It says it is just over a foot, so it should be great in ponds/lakes where there isn't very much room.:027:

Looks very nice. Sure is a lot simpler than a car! How's the runtime? I've heard that boats can suck some serious current...

It is great in small golf coruse ponds
The run time with the lipo is about 10 to 15 min, that is with doing a lot of high speed runs

Do you have some sort of soft cutoff so you can get it back to shore when the battery dumps? Unless you like to go swimming. :)

No, The secound the ESC cut's off I can tell and bring her back in or I use my other boat to go get it

Yeah, I suppose you could wait a minute or two after the ESC cuts out to let the battery voltage increase a bit and then get it running long enough to get it back...

Yep, that's what I do

Cool, tha'ts a pretty sweet idea... I gotta try something like that out.. Have you hit any big waves yet?..

Ihave jumped it about 1 to 2 feet out of the water, but you have to make sure it lands right side up. Boats are a lot of fun, something diffrent

I like it! I almost bought a brushless hydroplane last week. But was outbid at the last second! :019:

Thanks, a bl hrydoplan now that would be fast!

It was supposed to be capable of 80+ with a Lehner 1940.

Yikes!

WOW, that is fast

Cool.. but that little boat can't handle that kind of speed.... I saw some nasty brushless boats out there.. but just haven't even thought of a micro one.. :)

I am thinking about getting one of these, I want something that is self-righting;

How is the ESC/Motor/ Prop combination working out for you?

The Mamba and Motor are great, the set up work very well. It is right on the boarder line of haveing to much power. The props are nice I would order 2 or so eaxtra props when you place your order

Where did you buy the prop? I don't see that size listed on the MHZ website.

Also, what size mah lipo's did you use?

Thanks.

this is where I got the prop: http://206.206.85.209/xtdoc/Details....R&store=mhzusa
I use a 1900mah 2 cell lipo pack from Thunder Power.

Ok, I see them....but that is for a 31mm prop. I thought you were using a 33mm?

I am useing a 31mm prop. I was wrong in my frist post

Now with video,
Sorry the video is not the best, I was filming with one hand and driving with the other:

Isn't the world record now held by a Lehner powered boat (they always have set the records). It was a T Hydro, doesn't say what motor though, I would think at least 2250, or a 3060? 140 mph !!!!!
