hey guys i have started building a 24x12x3 airboat and was wondering what size motor and prop would be the best set up im going brushless and the motor stand that i have fabed up can handle a 11" prop

i can point u to a couple of places that sell brushless motors and all the other vital electronics!

www.hobbycity.com (great reasonably priced electronics, a good way to dive into the world of electric power.
www.bphobbies.com(also a good place to shop)

the reason why you arent getting any good responses is because all the guys here are running their nitro motors which is typical of them!

thank you tommy ill probly get the motor and esc from my lhs or hobby city

mrfixitwhite

well i run both! nitro and brushless
only done a 3 pointer brushless at the minute -but bang for bucks the towerpro combo -2409 with esc and prop from hobbycity does a fair job on mine!
spins a 8 or 9" prop so you could go bigger motor

thanks mrfixitwhite . nice video to did you catch some air at the end . im guessing that why you said not to go to light im wonting to run a 10x8 or 11x7 ill post some pics when i get the first layer of glass on the bottem

i made the front sponsens with a square outer edge-instead of curved like a rigger
when its at speed theres virtually nothing in the water to dig in but i think i slowed down AND turned ....hence dig an' flip lol![&:]
mod it next time lol
for yours thats about a .40 or .46 nitro match! wow gona go some
gotta see that run[X(]

ive done this with saran wrap, it worked fine, the glass just doesnt stick to it very well.

I have to agree. the plastic food wrap (like reynolds, glad or stretch-tite) works just as good?
