Rc boat help!?

Question

Hi guys, thanks for clickin on this post.

i have a 76cm long rc boat that has 2x560 motors and pretty stock probs, i bought a new heat sink and put it tightly round the motors to reduce rattle and prop shaft movement but i want it to go faster! ATM it reaches speeds of about 18+ mph but i was hoping to get it to do around 24-28 mph, what do you think i should do? would a more powerful battery make the motors spin faster? my boat has a standard 12v battery. would a more radical prop do the trick? or should i up the anty with a more powerful motor? although the motors are allready pretty powerfull, they are about the size of half the length of my hand? anyway, suggestions please? ooh almost forgot, could i use some sort of wax on the hull of the boat to make it glide through the water better? 1 more thing the boat is made of plastic, lol. thanks anyway....

Answer 1

Depends on the Prop, how many rpm,s the Motor turnes.

Not alway Bigger is better, Bigger may turn the same RPM,s but more Power, You need rpm,s not power, Id Look at another prop first, I have Fuel power, they are a Hand full over 40 MPH
