Default RE: Another Villain IV restore and modify

I like it . The reason I was thinking dual brushless, was to go with two smaller brushless motors with programmable speed controllers. That way I could dial it up slowly to reach the max power this hull could handle and maybe beat lou's record . I know it's overkill, but I haven't seen any boats with dual brushless. I also know the steering couldn't handle that kind of power but I was just looking for sprint speed not laps. I kinda figure if It's too powerful, I could build a new boat using the twin brushless counter rotation in maybe a 40" v hull. It will also be a learning experience in brushless before I build the big one. Or possibly build 2 smaller boats with it. But I asked a guy from offshore electrics and he gave the same advice. I was kinda hoping that smaller brushless motors would have a lot more control and speed than 1 big one. Maybe I'll just wait and get a nicer bigger hull for the dual setup. I still want to try it as dual counter rotating surface props would be insane.
