1/8 scale questions

[ozbryan]

Hi everyone just looking for some advice.

How much fuel capacity do i need for my boat? It will run a picco blue head with os9b carb.

Also wondering what people like as far as props are concerned thiz is a turbine boat. Miss Tide to be precise.

18-20 oz. usually 16 in the main(s) and a 2 or 4 oz. sump. I usually start a new boat with a 460/3. The 460/3 will give you a nice smooth ride and let you start to tune the boat ride before you go too aggressive on the props for the jump to light speed..

Follow Mikes advise, he nailed it perfectly.

Would a CMB (stock carb) need a larger tank than the Picco?

Yup,,

22oz will do

I run a CMB Blue Hair 67, 16 ounce tank with stock Carb, normally the first in the water and enough to bring it in after the race. However I am normally milling till the start.
