Small Speed storm
Next stage is to go to single motor with direct drive. I am going to start with a 500 7.2v brushed graupner motor i have using the same 11.1v 3 cell lipo.
Connected to a 4mm shaft and 32 1.4 pitch size prop.
should be ready for testing in three weeks.

Large speed storm
i am currently modifying this boat for the fourth time with a 700BB graupner 9.6v, single 4mm shaft and 42mm 1.4 pitch prop. I will test this with 16 cells 3300 Nimh (19.2volts) and hope to get around 300 watts output. My hull is sealed on this boat and i have also raised the lip by 1/2 inch using thin marine modelers ply to reduce the water coming in between the top of the hull and removable cowling cover. Should be ready in a couple of weeks.

Keep up the mods in seeking the +35mph speed.
