A question for you FE people: What would give more power/speed you think? a twin setup with This Engine ? or one Valkrea 180L ? If I go with the twins the plan is not to use a gearbox, but two strutts. Even with that it seems alot cheaper then the brushless. It's for a shallow v-hull of...

are there any simple ways to convert an engine from aircooling to watercooling? I have two engines that are in need of a litle modding. One small nitro engine and one rather big chainsaw engine. From what I ca see none of them have watercooled cylinderheads available as spare parts :P any...

I need some info on carbon fiber, but I am haveing trouble finding anything useful. Can someone please point me to some good URLs where I can find hard facts with numbers, diagrams and stuff? Or atleast somewhere to start? Also if you know any good literature on the subject? I'm interested...

I just dug out my old charger and batteries. It's a 7.2 1400mha kyosho from 1991. figured it couldnät hurt that much to test them before i throw them away. not realy expecting any results i charge them for 45 minutes (the charger is also from 1991 ;) ) the old mechanical esc is broken, but...

I haven't run electric since the mid 90s, but now it looks like we're a couple of people who are gona build small FE boats, but on a rather strict budget. it looks like we will be useing this Engine. Think it could be any good? I heard this guy should have some good stuff anyway. Now what I...

when building a smaller boat for a brushed motor, say speed 400 or something. will balsa work? or should I go for plywood instead?

I am sure you have noticed how different the japanese riggers are in design, with their centermounted engine, wider booms and probably much further back cg. Has anyone of you tried this design? What's the main difference? From what I've seen I get the impression they somehow manage to race...

Do you think the engine will get enough air for cooling with the lid like this? [/img]

As I've mentioned before, I've managed to scratch/dent the bottom of my hull, around where the subdrive was before. I'm wondering how to deal with this. Should I try to paint it over? Fill it with some hempel? any suggestions?

I'm just curious about something. Has anyone tried useing outboards for ofshore boats? or is it just for tunnels? Like for example a cat with twin outboards. should look pritty cool i think 8)

Well, the topic sortof says it all. I finaly have everything I need to make my first bench test run with my engine. I've never had any gas engines before, so I'm not realy sure what I should do. The previous owner has broken in the engine, but it has been laying "dead" for about a year...

have a look at this website. look at the exhaust bend thing. (scroll down a bit) http://www16.brinkster.com/blapingvin/boat.html The pics are of my boat and engine (before i modded the hull). it's quite obvious that the pipe cant be mounted like that. I figure if I cut it half way through...

"economic" hulls? ok. I'll just have to face it. I must get myself a fast electric toy to. ;D well... not right away, but planning ahead won't hurt. I've been searching around a bit to see what hulls I should considder. But the ones I like tend to cost a bit to much (b-28). I realy liked the...

Have a look at the pictures at this link. http://www16.brinkster.com/blapingvin/bat.html Anyone know what type of pipe this is? it's 13cm from end to end. And will that disc work as a flywheel? It's what's left of a clutch that I removed. ...and another thing. Anyone have an idea of how I...

Greetings! I have an old Le Mans 360 engine that haven't been used for years. It appears to have a bit of rust on/in it. I am wondering if you think it would be possible to get it running again, and how I would go about it?
