Has anyone run one of these?

What kind of power systems are you running?

I got one of those knockoffs that looks exactly like this.

Thinking of running 4s1p with a feigao 10L and a stinger drive with a X637. I know it might be a little overkill but that's part of the fun.

I use to run a delta force 25.5 with a 700 and 12 nimh cells for LSO racing
I also used a 7l and 2s lipo for sport running, both setups were quick..
It's a great boat once you get it trimmed right..I had Solinger hardware on mine with a 15mm spacer off the hull to move to strut alittle further back..
I think the hull u have will be too small a 10l and 4slipo, a better option would be an 8xl on 4s...
If i can find some pics of the one i had i'll post them..

I'll be running this hardware.

Adjustable trim tabs and Carbon fiber turn fins.
Going to be using a either a Pulso 100a or a Hydra 120 ESC.

I'll go out on a limb and say it's probably the best hull in this size class. It's fantastic with anything from moderate to excessive power.

I used this hardware http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=sol-hydro
Light weight strong and easy to install,only 2 screws for strut and rudder...
And these turn fins http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ose-monofins

What kind of speeds were you getting? How does yours handle? The hardware you got looks impressive. I already purchased all my hardware, etc. Just trying to find the time to put it all together. I still got other boats that I've been working on.

Not really sure on speeds,i never got to GPSed it. Once i got it dailed in handled great.. Unfortunately i had to sell it to support my other boats :(

I have a Delta force but 36 in.length, with feigao 9XL running on 3s2p or 12 Nimh cells or 4s, 3/16 flex and prop. shaft running with x445 or 2317.48. Max amps draw about 65 A. Best performance obtained with 3s2p and 2317.48 prop. For shafting and rudder system there are plenty around (you can get 0.15 flex and 3/16 prop.shaft). Important is the centre of gravity to be about 1/3 of length from transom.
