Hi Guys

After reviewing, and running some of the first kit boats off the line we have found that a CG of 27 to 33 percent works best. The Prototype Villain runs at 32 percent and handles super at all speeds. The kit boats like it back a little further, but not much.

Jerry do you have any Villain CG news to share with the gang?

Buy the way a piped boat at 4lbs!! Should be fun, or, sompthing!!

My piped Villain is going to have to make more trips to Fat-smack-donalds!! :-X

Buy the way I got more info from K+B this weekend and I will post comments soon. Thanks Sean..

Hey Grim,

What was you running on the back of your new Kite? ;D Can you give some info on the motor, pipe, prop combo. Thanks TB
 
Big C and TB

I do have a Villain with a pipe on it. However i still do not know if i will race it. Its more of a test bed then anything. Even though i do not like piped motors i did not say i did not have a good one or two.

If you must know i am giong to shoot for the 1/4 mile record this summer!

The tested boat (not mine) has a stock SS on it with 1440 prop, For now.

I have to say it is a nice thing to see the manufacturer of a product giving out info like that. Something that is sadly missing from our hobby/sport. If anyone out there is considering buying a new boat, they should consider that sort of thing to be a high priority. It will save countless hours testing, not to mention it will make the whole experience MORE FUN!

Well done Mike Z.

First Video

We have video of the Villain S1 running at www.grimracer.com

The video is on the home page.

Keep in mind that this is a Box stock Villain S1 with a stock K+B SS on the back.

Can you say 50MPH!!
