hi guys, right this is not as such a model boat enquiry, its similar being a twin motor bait boat, shes a cat hull with a pair of 2345 grapner water jets in it, i purchased it part built, when shes finished the hull halfs will be bonded with silicone and not easy accesable - needs to be waterproof as far as poss
as purchased she has a pair of mfa.como drills 457/re380, 3-7.2v motors in it, i have however two pairs of other motors, one pair, vision400 marine motors ( mtroniks) 4.8 -12v high torque and a pair of multiplex permax 400`s ( #332548) 7.2 v
i have the choice of a pair of lead acid 6v 1.2ah ( came with baitboat) or a pair of 7.2 race packs - to be purchased if needed
the cats hulls are 24 inches by three inches each, speed for me is not the main interest, carrying of a couple of K of bait and a decent run time is, the water jets drives are powered via a pair of 28mm props
can any one offer me advice which is the better motors to have fitted, also which battery packs, i intend using one per motor, two esc with a mixer circuit to control the forwards/backwards and steering from one stick ( already have this in and tried)
current wieght of the boat is 2.287kg, i still have the hopper doors ro put in but imagine the all up wieght will be a ax of 3kg
thanks in advance
