34" glassfibre Huntsman

(1/2) > >>

shadysadie:
A question please for the brushless gurus. I would very much like to convert my old 34" Precedent Huntsman (glassfibre hull) to brushless power and have a spare Turnigy 36-39 1100kv outrunner and 60A ESC.. Would this motor be too powerful running on 3s LiPos with an appropriate prop.? I would prefer to use the 3s batteries which I already have to save on expenses.

ChrisF:
From what I've gleaned about brushless motors the kv is a little on the high side but not manically so and so is quite a good choice for the Huntsman.


You don't have to use full throttle! And using the 3S on lower throttle settings should give you longer run times.

I'm currently running a Thumper V3 3530 / 14 1100Kv outrunner & its fine on a 40x prop, sounds good too , check my Fantasy Huntress in this section . .

shadysadie:
Many thanks for the advice folks - sounds feasible so I'll give it a go!

Hi Shadysadie
 I am running a 3648-1450kv on 3S with a 60Amp ESC and a 2 blade 40mm CNC prop.
I was going to put a 3639-1100kv in my 34" Huntsman, but, I had a spare 1450kv.
The boat handles either motor and will zip along very well.
