When ya have knocked at the door, it eats at ya till you do something about it.

Got enough time and spares so I gonna kick the **** thing down this time

Startin off with a 3.5 lower, With a little skeg mod from Jack G. Add a stainless flex tube and the lower is done,

I'm walking to my foot with a jigsaw right now ;D

 

[Slideblues]

Hey Oscar,

Here it is after the mod, you want about 1/2" at the bottom after you cut, then just be sure to get it centered when you resharpen.

Extended mount from PB Racing.

Sponsons are JD WOF 30's Built by Mike P. ;D

 

[Slideblues]

Center section for the first runs will be a S-1 in WOF,

Others are:

TF, in std build

Outta the box, std build

 

[Slideblues]

Powerhead and pipe ? ;D

Well that's the big question, I have been gathering info on the N/R Tops, and others, But it's like chasing chickens, ya run all over and wind up with a hand full of feathers!!!!

Specific to what crank will fit what, what p/s interchanges with what, number of ports etc.......

Anyone have any info ya want to let go off, Let me know

Gene ;D

 

[izitbrokeyet?]

wow....you really cut that cowling down. Looks like a "how low can you go" contest ;D

I had to use "low profile" servos to pull this cut off

Hey Kev,

Nice boat by the way!!!! I do my radio boxes different on the SAW boats, have for about three years now, I make a WAY short box and lay the servos on their sides, either side by side, or one in front of the other on angeled aluminum mounts. And then on the lid I use aileron exits for throttle and steering. I only use one 4-40 control rod for steering rigged pull right, Ala hydro.

Gene ;D

 

[izitbrokeyet?]

Thanks bro,

I wish it went as fast as it looks :

[Slideblues]

He,He, We will both KICK that door down!!!!

Gene ;D

 

[XtremeRcBoats]

wow nice boats.

What's the trick with the lowerunit mod?

 

[Slideblues]

Hey Paul,

Less drag due to the reduced surface, simple and quick ;D

 

[Ian Inverarity]

Gene,

Just for SAW, would it be possible to run with the skeg cut off altogether? ???

Nitrocrazed racing: Is that boat going sideways.....?

 

[Slideblues]

Ha,Ha, Well I have seen a mod that you remove the skeg on the lower and add smaller thinner one to the side of the cav plate.

Dont know Dude, sounds scary ta me

Gene ;D

Phase III Racing: A little skeg is better than no skeg at all......

 

[Ian Inverarity]

Gene,

Well, I would imagine getting the boat to track while coming up on pipe would get a little scary, but after that for the actual runs it may be okay. But if any course correction due to prop walk or wind etc is needed it could be a handful!

If you go to the side mounted skeg it means you could experiment with different size ones or none at all!

How about building a gear reduction onto the unit so you could use a normal rotation NR and BIG props!

Nitrocrazed racing: How much torque can you handle..?
