Hi all,

I'd like to share some photos of brand new boat. Still on building process but will get wet next week-end.

Hope you'll like it.

Hello,

I hope I'll got more feed back from the following photos...

Some Digits ???

I have some

Motor was the 820 from Graupner.

Cells & speed (GPS measured) :

16 RC1700, prop was too low, 41 Km/h

18 GP3300 P&M, prop higher, 47 Km/h

21 RC1700, 52 Km/h. The best run of the day. The hull began to really move.

Prop was k43.5, I'll try the one provided soon (k45).

Anyway that hull can handle a huge amount of power... in straight lines .

Hi KD

Looks like you're having some fun. I'm guessing that you have a Graupner Formel 1 tunnel. You must be one of the lucky few who got one. :

Have you worked out how you're going to paint it?

Although it's mostly nitro tunnels the forum members run - all tunnels are welcome.

tunnels! tunnels! tunnels!

Real race boats. LOL

GT ;D

Yeah I tried to get that hull here in the States for eight months, never got outta backorder status. Nice hull and great construction,

liked the sponson design

Hi guys,

Yep it was very fun. It's my first OPC tunnel, it's completly different...

I can tell you I love that !!!

As I leave in Europe, it's "easy" to get Graupner products...

About the paint I guess I'll go for something like the one tested in RC Boat modeler...

I hope to get some videos soon.

Killin_Duck,

Awesome video. I like action! Even though it's electric, it's pretty quick and sounds cool! Have fun!

BTW, where in Europe do you live?

Hi guys,

Snowdog, I live in France.

The cool thing with fast electrics is you can hear the prop spining at 24k rpm... that's a niiiiiiice sound

Big Daddy, too bad you may had loved that thing !
