El Lobo brushless?

[nigel]

Just bought a El Lobo II mono as my first electric hull. I have a mate with the same hull running a Hacker B50 XL8 / Hacker Master Navy 70 combo on 12 cells. I'm looking for advice on what I need to be quicker than him, on the same number of cells (age old story). What do you all think on the Nemesis range of motors?

All advice is welcome, Cheers Nigel.

The Nemesis line are clones of the Hackers, very similar performance with the same designation, i.e. 8XL. To be significantly faster than your mate will cost more in either run time or equipment. You could try a 7XL motor and a Navy 77 controller, which will be slightly faster but will suck up a lot of juice. A better way to be faster may to use better cells if you can. Running good 3300s will give a speed advantage over bulk 3300s or other lower performance cells. A better, friction-free setup will be faster for almost no cost. Wire drive, or at least a perfectly-aligned drive line makes a big difference combined with better cells and a boat with the CG in the right place running smoothly without undue porposing.

Thanks for that, I think I have decided on the 8XL and good 3300's and just a better boat set up (maby not better but more attention to detail).

I've herd 3500's are out soon, any truth to that?

Save some money. The fastest p mono boats I have seen or P sport hydros are running Aveox 3630/1.5 put on a 447 or m447 and hold on.

They have more torque.
