Advice on power..
« on: February 07, 2008, 07:04:45 pm »

Hi,

I have a small trent class life boat from model slipway, it is 500mm long and 180 wide. I have installed 2x M2 prop shafts with 30mm 3blade plastic props. They are run by 2 MFA torpedo 400 motors via an mtroniks viper 15 ESP and a 6 cell 2000mAh battery pack.
 
My problem is that the plastic props have broken, got damaged in the car and lost a blade or two on the water. Also she is slightly slower then I had hoped.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier of brass props for M2 shafts?

Also i have now wired one motor the opposite way around so would therefore need one RH and one LH prop, is this correct for a twin screw boat?

Is there any way i can get more power out of this set up? The battery lasts a long time so more jucy motors could be an option but would i gain anything with out changing the battery?

Thanks for any advice, Guy
P.S. I just noticed I should have posted this in the electronics section sorry im new, have reposted there.
