Tunnel Setups

[obrien]

Last night I went to Herb Stewart's place to pick up a tunnel hull. Well I ended up leaving with 3. A 40 size hull and a 20 size hull for me, and a 20 size hull for a buddy of mine. Both of the 20 hulls were still in the molds so they will need to be assembled. All of the boats will be set up for electric. I plan on running something like the stock SV setup on the 20 hull, or maybe my ammo 2300 for now. What I need is some ideas for motors on the 40 hull. I am also looking for some suggestions on props. I plan on using the composite lowers from fullers for both boats. The 20 hull will most likely be run as a 2s and the 40 hull a 4s.

Obrien for the 40 you may want to look into the KB45L series motors. Shorter can than the XL but the specs look to deliver more torque with a higher rpm than the 36mm XL size motors. I have the 8L 2300kv coming in next week for testing in my 36 cat.

Hey Obrien Uncle Herb braught those electric boats up to jacksonville this past week end and I got to tell ya them things hauled a- - I was shocked at how good Herb had the set ups on them.

Yes he does. I just hope I can get my boats built to be competitive.
