Refinements and improvements take time that is for sure. The 40 size one that I built years ago is so wide it looks like a crackerbox! Only way to get that dang thing upside down is to blow it over. Had a lot of fun with that old design though. I'll have to dig out some pics of that thing.

By the way have you guys raced the class at one of the other events down there this year?

They raced it at the riverview club race,but.... It was windy nasty conditions 4 boats in the heat...most 20 boat guys didn't show... Slow start but there are more races to come.. I'm making some head way with my 1/4 scale Mod-vp.. going to race it in gas outboard and have an inboard set-up for gas offshore.. How about ya..... you think of making that baby bigger?

 

[Mark Poole ModVP]

I actually have a plug for a "correct" size 7.5 boat, 35 inches long. If I go bigger I will use my composite materials to piece together a boat and run it before commiting to a mold. Like you, I see some great potential with the bigger ones.

I love the little 20 boats.. its a lot of fun..people racing are way more light hearted... but I have people riding me hard for the 1/4 scale boats.. in all honesty they are easier to build..... not cheaper you guys out there <_< ... the 20 mod-vp hull I build is a hard lay-up.. too many sharp edges.. very small sharp edges :blink:

Gas tunnel is suely not setting the rc racing world on fire. Just started testing mine and would not have a problem shifting the hardware to a 1/4 Gas Mod VP.

I've talked to Wayne Farrow and had Doug Carter Look into it... Gas tunnel is such a loose based thing now, we're going to run the the mod-vps against the tunnels. IF the design scales up well i think it has a chance.. I'm working on a geared drive as well. It will be summer before I have anything done I'm sure.. Who know gas Mod-vp might take.... I'd love to build a 1/4 scale Allison... gt 20 style.

im sure that motor is to deep in the water man thats what mine sounds like with it to deep it can go like 1/4 inch or more above the bullet also for heads up a 637 is the cats meow with that motor or if you can spend time cutting down a 640 to a 638 youll see much better throttle response good luck to you glad to see someone else joined the TT team!

Too high of a prop on a Mod-vp starts to cause problems because of the center sponson it tends to run closer to a mono set-up... other wise it blows out.... makes alot of noise but doesn't go anywhere.... tried many props but always go back to a three blade...

man, don't paint a target on yer back there

 

[Mark Poole ModVP]

Andy is right about the prop position on a Mod-VP. You can run the prop high on a tunnel because as the boat rocks back and runs positive the prop goes deeper into clean water. Get too high on the Mod-VP and all you do is throw water in the air and lose speed. Find the right spot and the boat will fly nice down the straights and turn good too.

 

[Kevin Krogness]

If he raises the prop any higher its going to have the effect of when you raise the motor out of the water to spray the hot chicks on the dock
