good motor for 1/10 scale kit hull

[larcor69]

not looking for heat race or saw, just enough to make it run desent would a UL-1 set up be fine?

 

[Jeff Ross]

I would not go with the UL motor not enough tourque to get it going.

Go with a proboat or himax motor as they run very well and we are running low to mid 40s with them.

Right setup and prop can put you close to 50s.

This would also make you namba legal!

The UL ESC is a great 1 to use.

when it gets on the water, I really dont want it to be to fast for my Grandson 25-35 would be enough..lol he has got pretty good with his mini-T and his Mini Thunder though is that proboat motor about the same size as a ul-1 ?

 

[Jeff Ross]

Motor size is the same the kv is different.

The UL motor is higher kv so faster rpm but loose torque.

The UL motor can work just have to keep prop size down. Also would need to keep it as light as possible.

The other motors would be better choice in my opinion. Then could also prop down and even set throttle range to half till gets the hang of it.

I have an old SV27 motor that I use to run has some wear and the magnets need to be reglued to the can if you want it I am not going to do anything with it I can send it your way if you want to fix it? I use to run it I'm my boat just ran a bit hot with larger props and broke itself loose from the heat but motor ran great till that happened.

if mas epoxy would work at fixing it sure, give me a while moneys kinda tight and I will swing some your way for shipping, so hang on to it for now, Thanks

Mas is not hi temp epoxy, i would not risk doing a repair with it. Mike

 

[Jeff Ross]

I'm not concerned with the shipping ill send it your way with the decals.

A few different glue were recommended to be.

Jb weld and some others ill have to find the info on. Lot cheaper to buy glue then an entire motor.

I also have generic 1800kv motor I just remembered that I am willing to also send you. It was a gift to me and I'm not going to be using it so no problem re gifting.

 

[larcor69]

I have JB and sweet Thanks Jeff

 

[Jeff Ross]

You could also drop the voltage to keep the speeds down. 3s would put you in the 30s with both motors.

Not a problem it's that time of year and great project you got going.

I have 1 condition and that's keep us updated and post pics along the way!!

 

[Jeff Ross]

I also have a rudder and prop ill send for him!

 

[larcor69]

Jeff you have done enough, though I am greatful

 

[Jeff Ross]

Enough people have done a lot for me in the hobby so I am just paying it forward.

Hope your grandson has a wonderful Christmas!

Let you know soon as I send stuff out.

Happy holidays!
