Ran it this morning and it did good for it's first outing got a few tanks through it before I blew up a servo. Still got some tweaking to do on it and the tt isn't quite broke in yet but it did good overall. I'll get some video soon. Kev send it to me.

 

[Kevin Krogness]

For a small fee I'll send her right over

Quality is not bad, the only thing is the format....its widescreen....so its a looooooooooooong tunnel I see screaming by.

WOW !!! it looks great. the motor was turning up good. i only wish the clarity was better in the video. anyway super running boat. Dan

 

[camaroboy383]

good stuff jared,,,, you are getting there my man... some more light tuning and it will really scream...... the second launch of the video sounded like you were on the verge of a proper needle... if you get a great setup and the engine can free up a little more,,, it will sing... you want to try to get the illusive double stage of that pipe... you will hear it come in like power band on a 2 stroke dirt bike... its hard to find,,, but keep working on it... pay attention to the zing through the pipe... if its crackly,, its either rich or not making the proper temps,,which is still rich... in the second launch the sound was cleaner,,crisper,, thats what your looking for my man...try holding the engine at full throttle in large ovals... believe it or not,,,when the throttle is chopped like you were doing,, it extremely changes the engine temp by dousing the case with a large shot of fuel..kinda makes finding the needle harder... also,,,turn the low speed needle in a touch,,, just a touch..

looks great though buddy.... glad the ole tt is serving you well...

[Dan Hutchinson]

question for the masses. does anybody know if a inboard thunder tiger pro 21 is the same as a outboard besides the crank and backplate? i have one of these i want to get rid of. Dan

 

[camaroboy383]

exact same dan....only the back plate is different...the tt lower is geared so uses the std. buggy / i/b crank.....engines are identical,,down to the t...
