2016 Road Runner

[timothy johnson]

Here's a quick overview of my new 67 Road Runner from Ralph Almirola. I met Ralph at the 2016 Winter Nationals in Tampa Fl. Ralph and Joe Warren put on quite a show on how well the RR can perform and win races. After a couple of brief conversations I gave Ralph a deposit for a new boat. Ralph met my expectations to a T. The boat was ready when he said it would be and delivered in a well packaged box safely all the way to Alaska via the USPS.

The quality of Ralph's boats is exceptional and they are ready for paint after installing your radio gear and a couple of coats of expoxy. The hardware is high quality and the optional G-10 sponson's with there razor sharp edges are worth the extra cost.

If your looking for a new rigger give Ralph a shout, you'll be happy you did. tim

Looks good Tim. Set it up just how Ralph tells you and it will run great. We have had good luck running pitched up 1462s and reduced H32s.

 

[timothy johnson]

Thanks David, Joe Warren told me about the 1662 also. I have one of the prop duplicators for the 1662 that works well.

Looking great Tim

Tim,

An ABC 2315-17-45% Game Changer works pretty well also.

Thanks For Reading,

Mark,

If you have any of the 2315s in stock could you send me one to try on the new boat. Whatever numbers you think to start and we will dial it in from there. Thanks.

Guys, I'm curious, why do you run 45 sized props on this boat?

 

[timothy johnson]

Martin, Ralph and I believe Joe Warren are running both the 1662 and H-32 with Picco motors depending on water condition's. I don't know about the 1462 since that is my primary 45 prop my JAEs.

Bioflex gamechanger props 1462BF1662 works like

Variable-geometry turbochargers (VGTs), (also known as variable nozzle

Pitch an cupping of prop Adjusts to RPM an load.new from I THINK IT CAN WORK LLC.

 

[ABC PROPS]

Well some of the new 2.5 and 2.6 DIA Props in the 19 Rake and .38 Bar may just work fine also.

 

[timothy johnson]

Ken, Tom P from Octura produced the 1462 as a "45" prop and the 1662 as a "67" prop. I guess you can pitch up just about anything to work. Your post seems a little strange. I think I will stick with the norm and the new ABC props which I have some for starters.

Guys, I'm curious, why do you run 45 sized props on this boat?

Martin,

I prefer a smaller prop with more pitch and cup with shorter pipes. The Roadrunner boats have a better ride attitude with the 14 series props with smaller diameter in my opinion.

Martin I was wondering the same thing lol. Timothy I run the octura h667 on my Novarossi .61 with great success. Just another prop option for the .67 Good luck as there are many options to choose from and remember to have fun with it.

 

[ABC PROPS]

Engineered and not just Bent sheet metal Welded to a hub

Just ask the rest what the bade area or rake really is

Cup and Camber is way out there

We are the first to even offer Inspection Sheet numbers

Just ask I will send you the pitch numbers of the prop via email

and its not just 1 number

Its across the entire blade surface

The ABC Team uses these numbers for advancement in design

Now it will be available for the Heat racing to fine tune for the race day

I will soon have all this on the web site for easy look up

But right now

It is more important to have the props then a pretty chart

The Boys on this team have put their time in-and trust me they have much more work left to do

Now The heat racers are getting new choices

We have needed this for years

We are going faster and having more fun with our investments

Jim,

Can't test the props you sent me as I had to have emg. back surgery and cannot run a boat for another two weeks, just about in time for the Huntsville race. I have a friend who will try them this weekend if the wind dies down.

[David Swisher]

Walt I hope you are doing OK,feel free to call me anytime you want,need to get order from you,not pushing though

 

[timothy johnson]

Thanks guys for all the great prop suggestions. I have 2 CMB 67s set-up using Marty's program. Should be fun testing.

 

[shoboat]

Martin,

Some boats without a ski cannot pull the 24,25, 26, and 27 series propellers.

It comes down to set up and load which I am sure you understand. Without the

new larger ski and a longer tub length most Road Runner 67's will have a hard time

heat racing some of the larger diameter and higher pitched propellers from ABC.

I Hope The Weather Improves So We Can All Get Out And Get More Testing In.
