Good day all,
I'm just about to start my first conversion from static to RC (a Schnellboot S-100) and I'm having conflicting thoughts on my power plant, I have settled on 3 x 385 motors but now have the following options:
1. A Mtroniks Viper Marine 25A ESC to power all 3 motors running off a 11.1v Lipo, will this esc handle that draw and will this be sufficient power to get the model up on plane?
2. A Mtroniks Viper Marine 25A ESC powering all 3 motors on 2 x 7..2 packs in parallel, again same questions as the first concerning power.
3. And finally my gold solution, a Viper Marine 25A ESC connected to a P92 (Action Electronics) distribution board power all motors plus giving me spare outputs for sounds and lights etc (I would like to run this on 11.1v lipo).
If I'm way off the mark here with my solutions please let me know and advice/suggest different, I'm leaning towards getting solution 3 and installing a small extraction fan within the hull and decking to remove as much heat as possible.
Many thanks to anyone able to give advice.
Best Regards
Neil
