OK, here is the last two videos of the initial motor before the crank broke. You can hear it break at the end of the second video.

wow,.. running strong now!!

 

[RodneyPierce]

Anthony, getting there. Still not happy with it yet. Im absolutely exstatic about the hull itself though! Handles the water amazing, and is SO easy to drive. Doesnt hunt around at all or have ANY bad habbits.

Still need more RPM though. And with the RPM comes speed

You know me, always trying for more.

 

[anthony_marquart]

broken crank?

 

[RodneyPierce]

Broke the crank in one motor yesterday, yes.

The videos above are with both the initial motor, and the backup motor. Snapped the counter weight off. It was literally laying in the case when I got it back.

 

[LarryConrad]

Broken crank, wow those low buck aisian novarossi splashes don't seem to be very durable.

 

[RodneyPierce]

Ask Greg (pulsetech) if he has ever broke a Novarossi 35+ crank I bet the answer is YES. As far as I know, im the first to break a GO crank. So chances are it was a faulty part.

 

[LarryConrad]

Ya' probably just a faulty part, most likely from the same batch as the rod that let go in Mark's engine last season.

 

[RodneyPierce]

Anyways...

 

[LarryConrad]

Rodney, Your boat looks great on the water, you time any laps around the course or radar it yet?

 

[RodneyPierce]

Larry, I have not. We dont have a gun (yet) and no course marked out.

 

[LarryConrad]

What was the other hydro running laps with you?

 

[tobbec]

looks good there..

 

[RodneyPierce]

What was the other hydro running laps with you?

That was Butch's CMB powered JAE. Then at the end of the one of the video's was Mike's G1 Blackbird.

 

[RodneyPierce]

And a few slow motion videos. The boat really does handle and ride awesome! Make sure to watch in HD otherwise its too blurry

[Johnny Brown]

Who`s Top Dog?What up Rodney.

 

[RodneyPierce]

Hey Johnny. not sure man, surely not me. It needs more work, but its getting there. I have this little issue of never being satisfied, and also an issue of liking a little thing called SPEED!!! Always need more speed!!! More times then not that ends up with a DNF for me, but man its fun being the first one to the scene of the crash. :lol:

 

[anthony_marquart]

that boat is really turning well,..
