Yes many thanks to all that rallied around and helped get us back on the water while we were there. The hospitality shown to all of us was fantastic. Looking forward to the next trip over Jason

Just to let you all know had another go with this boat perserving with the fegaio motors Lastest setup running Jackpower 5300mah 25/50c 4S1P lipo and 8XL motor Castle Hydra 120 strut set so runs parallel with bottom and set to same depth as sponsons COG 40mm back from sponsons Running an...

Very nicely set-up , runs fast and stable , it really makes you think about retireing the nitro engines :rolleyes: Steve what is the all up weight of this set-up ? Jason

Well good luck with the weather i would be interested to see what speeds it does ;)

Raydee i have been a bit slack lately put the Whip aside while doing other projects, with winter coming on i will order a motor and speed controller ( motor is definitely to be a NEU 1521 1.5D, ESC still undecided ) Your Whip is looking really good, have you done any GPS readings on the Hacker ?

Heres a short vid of it running, still havent got data logger to check amps

You could always use a dremel with small tip and remove a small amount of aluminium from around the tap on the bottom of the mount ( where you cant see it when its in the boat ) then you should be able to get some small vise grips or pliers onto the point. but you will have to turn the tap...

They are great hulls for a 700 brushed motor and rigid enough for that. With a bit of work like laying up some carbon fibre thru the bottom they are a very strong hull if you are wanting to run Brushless. Mine had fatique cracks on the bottom after running my SV27 motor in it.(hence the reason...

Thanks Heath, interesting that is the last strut depth i have tried, Cog is about 1 3/4" back, it ran bit better but still not up there on speed pullin all hardware out shortly and upgrading to a Neu 1521/1.5D running on 4S2P 4500Mah 22c cells. for sport running at our club that will get the...

Larry i would like to run the more expensive motors , but under our Trans-Tasman rules that we use for this class, we can only use a motor with max dollar value of $150.00 AUD ( works out close to $136.00 USD ) just means will have to try a smaller lighter hull for the combination im running...

Well i thought i would try something to make sure my motor/speed controller/cells were all still ok, i put all the running gear into my Delta force 29.5 . Tried the 7XL first, ran ok except for what i could describe as missing sound ( motor revs werent constant at full throttle) has anyone...

Ray haven't got a data logger at present waiting for some spare funds to order one :( ( spent to much on new boats lately ) I would like to run 4s2p, but under our current rules we run under for Trans-Tasman challenge class im stuck with 4s1p, untill we can bring some Austrailian's up to...

Ok shifted the CG back and had a run this afternoon, not sure on weather my Nemisis 7XL is up to the job :unsure: , best speed i could get was 39.12 MPH on GPS on X640 the X637 was slower so was X642 , so put 9XL in and done 42.44 MPH on an X645 prop , didnt really want to put much...

Scott i can shift cg back to 40mm behind sponsons easy, iwill do that and try after work tommorrow. Let me know what Heath has for strut depth cg etc If anybody else running these can point out ideas on what strut depth /cg /prop size /motor they are running it would be appreciated ;)

Yes looked at that but after everybody i talked to told me that they needed weight in nose to hold them on the water, i decided to copy my 1/8TH scale and sport 45 putting the cg at a point where they both run real fast and in the rough ( you seen the conditions last time you where here, not...

Hi Guys, Finally got the Whiplash on the water today,our club had speedruns on, it was a little rough so i used the time for testing and running. but not sure on why my set-up was not going as fast as i expected. set-up was Nemisis 7XL out on 4S 1P ( 4500MAH 20C ) COG 18mm behind sponsons...

When you do so let me know the speeds i will be quite interested ;)

What sort of speed do you get with 10XL ? and what does it handle like ? Just wanting to get an idea on if lower revs/big prop combo works. For heat racing i will use the M445 for now, seems to be the best prop setup on the 9XL in my hull, only taking 3250mah out of packs in a race (Oval...

No vid's as yet, as soon as i get camera repaired i will post one ;) Packs are quite good, it would be better if we could run 4S 2P in our class, it would be a lot easier on the cells.Unfortunately the class only allows 4S 1P 5000mah limit at moment and cheap motors. Jason

Thanks for your help The C rating on the pack is 22C continuous and 40C burst I have tried X440,X442,X637,x642,M445,x445,x645,P215,P220 speeds reaching 41.3 mph to 46.48 mph on GPS with cell temps not above 112 deg F Tried a prather P230 prop done a few 100 mtr bursts with speeds reaching...
