Littlescreamers and minicatracingusa team up!

[Littlescreamers]

This is a long time coming as I have been working on this water jacketed outrunner for some time now. I needed a test bed for this new motor and a quick call to Minicatracingusa (http://www.minicatracingusa.com/Links.html) and I have just what I need. this is a very cool little boat. Comes complete and ready to run. It needed a power boost so littlescreamers was very happy to help out! here are a few pictures of the craft and I can say that we weighed in at the same weight as stock with our motor to the gram. testing is under way and video will fallow.
With the new water cooled motor we are able to push this motor way beyond the normal amp draws.

Any questions??
Tell what you think??

Thanks

Looks interesting. How many cells are you using 3s?

Looking forward to the video and hopefully you can clock the speed.

[Littlescreamers]

Yes I am using a 3s batt, As for speed. She sounds like a gas boat when she steps up on a plane. It was a little windy so the water was choppy but when I did open her up she SCREAMED! I will try again today and get some video. The water cooling works great and even at slow speeds I could see the water coming out the side. Fun stuff just wish it was a little warmer :D

Looking forward to the video. They were selling these boats at FITS. What is the MAH of the pack your are running and what is the runtime?

I have a Supervee 27 that does around 40 mph, I am sure you will beat that no problem.

I am using a 1800 3s and as for speed ??? It really screams. I have a friend on the way over to help out with the video. To tell the truth I need to take it down a notch as it will fly off the water at full power. But I will shoot a video of it first :D

that is sweet...is that a diff KV than a jet scream or is it more like a super pj. do you have a pump for the water or are you just picking it up behind the prop?cool idea ;)

[rvincent]

Scott went out yesterday to get video. Hopefully it will be up soon :D

[Doctor Who]

Hook us up with some video Scott.

[bildo baggins]

[rvincent]

Looks fast in the video and maybe a little squirrelly. Bet it was cold in the rain.

[rvincent]

Hey we're pilots :D not captains :eek:

[bildo baggins]

Nice! That rain did look cold tho. Hating the winter man!

[Doctor Who]

So will all the boats be available with the Littlescreamers motor or will that be an upgrade?

[Deestingray]

That is looking really nice, what size prop was used in the vid? Looks to be something around the 32mm mark. Can't wait to see it when it is fully opened up, and yes, judging by the size of the lake, you are definitely going to need more water.

[rvincent]

Scott will answer both those questions in just a bit. ( he's winding a motor ;) )

[Doctor Who]

Any updates?

[rvincent]

Doctor Who,
There are several video's now in the boat video section :D We are satisfied with the motors Kv and now have turned towards props and tuning. I believe we offer the fastest motor for this size boat now and the video's should validate it :cool:

[Blaze.45]

Must... have.!

[Pagemaster]

When will the water cooled motors be available for dealers to purchase?

We are working on it now guys. Wehave production samples and they have been tested :D Some minor changes like bolt size and mounting hole sizes then they will be ready. As for a date? Before Summer :cool:

hi guys that looks sweet. :cool:

[Littlescreamers]

Hi,

I just wanted to let you al know that Littlescreamers is going to be producing this motor and also a larger version in the 45mm motor size and then the monster 63mm motor. All will be water jacketed the same way as the original, They wuill be ready for the 2009 boating season, I will be racing these for the 2009 season and am looking forward to some fun in the sun :D Any questions please feel free to ask.

This is going to be a fun year

Scott

[bildo baggins]

Awesome! What up Scotty? Did you get everything you wanted from Santa?

[LuckyDuc]

Will the 45mm motor fit in the new Aquacraft UL-1? That would be a great market for you guys to target... IMHO, that boat will bring in a lot of newbs to FE boat racing.

[rvincent]

The 45mm motor will be able to handle 4000 watts :D Can that boat take it? Is it large enough?

Forgive me, still learning about boats :D

Probably not :( But it doesn't mean you shouldn't make one to fit this size boat ;)

Here's a link to the specs for the boat: http://www.aquacraftmodels.com/boats/aqub20-ul1-superior/
