MOTOR FOR MBD CYGNUS REVENGE.
« on: January 10, 2015, 10:15:43 am »
Having had no offers in my search for an 'unwanted' Cygnus Revenge I have ordered one from Models By Design.  The only problem is that he has such a big order to complete the waiting time is about 6 weeks.  This gives me some time to think about the power train and, at the moment, I am considering a high power brushless on a single prop and shaft.  The ones I have in mind, at the present time, are - (1) Turnigy Aquastar 4084-1050Kv, (2) Turnigy Aquastar 4084-620Kv (3) Turnigy Aquastar 3974-2200Kv, (all water cooled).  These are from HobbyKing and all 3 are available from China warehouse at about £44 & £37 plus shipping, etc.  (1) and (3) are available from the UK warehouse at about £51 & £39 plus p&p.  What are members' thoughts on these, please?  Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.
I have 2 unused Graupner 700BB Turbo motors but I do not want to use a twin set-up and a single 700BB would not be powerful enough to give a scale planning speed.

Pair of 1050 on 14v/motor....got one on a single shaft...running time around 20 mins      it needs twin shafts as it is a heavy hull.....dont bother with anything else

Many thanks, Dave.  My ideas came from a 48"(?) RAF Crash Tender which I built not too long ago and powered it with a single large brushless outrunner and it looked just right so far as scale speed and planing were concerned.  Unfortunately, I sold the boat some little while ago and cannot remember which motor, etc., I used.

Unfortunately I do not seem to be having a lot of success with this enquiry, apart from the reply from Stavros.  However, let's try another tack - when I sold my crash tender I believe it was through Mayhem and it will now have been deleted under the 6 month rule (unless Martin or Moderators have access to deleted items).  If the person who bought my crash tender should happen to see this item could I ask him to contact me with details of the outrunner I installed in it, please.
Many thanks.

Have you thought of asking Andy at Models By Design what motor he would recommend?

Really old thread I know but a friend is going to build one shortly and I suggested these to Andy Griggs to which he gave a thumbs up
