HTB 360

[normlee]

Hi, I am looking for some setup help for a HTB 360 please. It has a Rossi 7.5 on modified K&B leg, 1450 Lynx cut prop.

Suggestions for engine height, centre of balance etc. is much appreciated.

Thanks Norm,

Hi Norm,

You will most likely run into cornering issues with Lynx cut 1450 on a HTB360.

I would start with a P230/X447/X448 to get a baseline setup.

Start with bottom of sponsons level with bottom of prop shaft, and about 2 deg negative trim.

I have ran upto 100g of weight infront of the radio box.

The hulls I have responded well too blue printing the last 40% of each sponson. This resulted in needing no weight up front, and I could run the engine higher without sacrificing handling.

I also run the fuel tank up against the rear of the radio box over the CG. Fuel tank is also seated lower than stock setup.

A 1450 reduced to 47mm with 3.6"-4.0" TE pitch and 1mm back cut will be the ticket.

The HTB360 is my favourite 7.5 glass boat hands down.

Brad definitely gets the most from his HTBs! Definitely been hard competition when he has his engines working for him.

Ps this is not a Buggy forum Brad, why you looking here? Hahahaha
