Hey Jerry, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!! Sorry for the late wishes, haven't had a chance to be online for a while. Best wishes and hope you have a good year

HI Jay, We have a few guys here running the micro mowgli. The stock setup is a feigao brushless and quark 80A esc with GP2200 cells. This boat is tricky to get runing correctly and seems to like the GP cells as it balances perfectly with them. We tried sub-C cells and Lipo cells, but the...

topfuel, as long as your using a Lipo charger, it will detect the batteries charge state and cut off charging when the battery is peaked. you cannot ue the normal peak detect function like we do for nicads or nimh, as lipos are charged at constant current till their votage peaks at 4.2v per cell...

Jerry, time to get your next 15 mins. I love the stuff you come up with, and all the hints and advice you gave me on engine mods really helped out especially for my airplane engines. So PLEASE!!!! do not stop doing this and coming out wtih new stuff. Maybe I should email you pics of all the...

Jerry, congratulations ................ now..... whats next??? :D :D Any chance of getting some video up for us?

That on is the micro mowgli.

Backemf, I agree with you, the boat would not be a great boat for beginers, and you do have to spend some time to set it up, especially to getting the CG right. It seems to have only one sweet spot where it will turn and track well, if its off, then it wont even run straight. Hopefully someone...

Well, I ordered props from Mark, and I am all the way over in Malaysia, no complaints about his service. I would definitely order from him again and again.

Yup, lots of laughs really :D and the ones seeing it for the first time usually end up looking like this :blink:

jfm: The batteries [GP2200 4/5 subC] pack is in a saddle configuration, six on one side and three on the other, as per manufacturers recommendation. I have not seen anyone try a 5000mah lipo pack, but i dont see why it shouldn work as long as you can get the same distribution of weight. The...

jfm, your bound to have fun with it. As for jumping, its simple, just put it in reverse, and it will scoot back then suddenly rotate as it submerges, once its below the surface, just hit full throttle and get ready to laugh.!!! :D All the best with yours.

The model of esc used is the quark 80B, website is www.sky-technology.net

Hi Backemf, I am not sure what bugs you may have encountered, but this is what we found over here. 1, the boat likes to be slightly heavy, using Lipos makes it too light on the water, the recommended batteries work best. 2, the balance point is critical especially if you want it to be easy to...

He is running the stock ESC that came with the boat, which is a Quark 80A controller. Motor was a feigao.

A few pics of what happens when you put a crazy boat in the hands of a 3D pilot!!! The last pic is the one that matters

Thanks, wish I could take credit, but it was someone else who caught the action on camera. I think the boat owner did this move about 15-20 times that day, really awesome to watch. In fact it sparked a rush for the boats at our LHS.

There are a couple of guys running the micro mowgli over here and it is BLAZING FAST!!! With the stock feigao motor and recommended battery pack, it will outrun any stock 21 size boat. But lets forget the speed issue for a while, coz this boat shines in the FUN department. Like when you hit...

I've gotten good deals from cheapbatterypacks.com, especially when I live so far away from the states, and their prices are still reasonable. I prefer using Nimh packs as they have more capacity for the same size of cell, plus no memory effect. Am running a sanyo 2500mah receiver pack on my...

You may have been the "lucky??/unlucky??" 1 in a million to have that happen. I have seen one OS outboard that was returned to my LHS for a shocking reason... no wristpin!! We could not believe it, as its not something you exepct from OS, but it actually happened, they shipped the engine out...

Not sure if its a better idea or not, but the original instructions that come with the prather boats advice you to use putty (Bondo or similar) to fill the pinholes. The guys over here who bought the Lapcat I recently, all used putty and no problems so far. Might be better to wait for more...
