RE: SPARTAN killer ????? Do share

Well I saw 62.517 mph with an Aluminum x640 prop on my 34" Drifter.

All these prop recomendations and no real high speeds posted, I wonder just what these folks think is fast ?

RE: SV27 wont stay in the water!

I did not say Weight is not your friend,

I said adding weight is a bad idea.

A better idea is to move the weight to a new spot preferable to "centralize the mass".

RE: wire and connections adding to heat creation

larger connectors can reduce resistance in the circuit.
larger guage wires allso reduce resistance.
If you are melting solder your wiring needs upgraded.

RE: SPARTAN killer ????? Do share

I want to make something very clear,

My suggestion of a x640 prop was only if you keep the present motor and persue your "spartion slayer".

RE: V-hull with 2 motors

Jay has a point.
a single motor has less parasitic drag than a dual motor setup, this means it is faster (when correctly setup).
