Custom Build - What motor to use?
Hey everyone,
I'm new to the RC Boating world, but I have experience in drones and RC airplanes. I'm currently working on a project to build an RC boat for my physics class for a drag race (the boat just needs to go straight - it does not need to turn). Obviously, since this is a drag race, the boat needs to be as fast as possible.
Because of size restrictions in the competition, the hull I'm using is relatively small w/ a catamaran stepped planing design. A CAD model of the design is attached, but the general specs is that it is 8 cm wide by 28 cm in length. The hull will be 3D-printed.
I want to use a brushless motor setup for the boat. Which motor would y'all recommend? I need a motor that is small enough for the boat, and I am not sure what kV I should use. If someone could provide me some guidance as to what motor(s) to use, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, what LiPo cell should I use?
Thank you in advance!
