Batteries
I have a question for the group, I'm about ready to buy the batteries
and motor for my sub. Like I mentioned before, it's a flyer-type sub, so
I plan on using a long, narrow prop, maybe 36 to 48 inches dia. I need a
motor powerful enough to swing that kind of screw thru the water with
even steady pressure. I dont enticipate alot of throttle variation. My
questions are these...
1. Is the power a 24 volt motor puts out (as opposed to a 12-volt) worth
the added expense in $ and extra power payload?
2. I plan to carry atleast 4 batteries, any recomendations as to which
kind would suit my design the best?
3. Any recomendations as to which motor would work well?
It might be an option to use 2 smaller motors rather than one large one,
I just want the most efficient way to propel my sub thru the water as
fast as possible.
Any ideas?
