Dumas Chris Craft Triple Barrel Back running gear.

(1/3) > >>

Eddie W:
I am currently building the above and am at a stage where I need to decide on running gear. Can anyone please suggest a suitable motor, ESC etc either brushed or brushless? Research I've done suggests that the boat is underpowered if you use the Dumas recommendations.


Thanks
Eddie

I would say 'Go Brushless!'
 ( ....but then again I would always say that! )

But what Brushless motor? .... recommendations Gentlemen... Ladies!

A lot  depends on the weight of the model as to what motor you could use .

Hi Ed
I recommend a Hobbyking 3639-1100kv 35mm brushless(bolts straight in replacement for the 35mm 540 brush motor).
The drive line is totally to small and requires a 4mm setup .
Prop size a 2 blade 40mm 1.4 pitch or a 3 blade 37mm 1.4 pitch.
ESC 60 Amp and a 3S lipo 3700mah.
I have this setup in my 1920 SG&K Gentleman's Runabout and works well.
Good run time and speed, maybe a bit over scale speed.
