Just bought the hull used. Tore all the mounts out of the interior. It was purple. Very purple. A little dupli-color black and clear fixed that. (transom not done yet) She's looking a little better now!
It will be a 12s boat, with Leo 5692 and Fightercat 16s 200 amp esc. Should start building Monday night when I get my hardware in.

[lenny]

Looks good,
The 5692, What kv ?

[Rumdog]

Thanks, Lenny. 730 kv

[lenny]

Ok thanks,
That is the same setup I was going with for Peter 48" Stealth,
But on 8s & 10S.
I just need to get a esc for it now.
Do you think the Fightercat 16s 200 amp esc would work for the setup in that 48"hull ?

[Make-a-Wake]

Nice hull there Rum....................That was my second choice when I got my 47" Kevlar from Promise Hobby.........its the 10s boat in my sig.

I have always admired that hull................sleek and sexy. You sure are gonna pack some cells in that baby arent ya!!

You should be in the low 30's rpm-wise loaded up....................sounds like an x457/3 or x460 is in order!!:rockon2: , possibly even a Prather 245-250.

I'll be watchin this one!!:tiphat:

[srislash]

That looks good Rumdog.

[Rumdog]

Thanks.
I'll be starting with a x457. Will also test on 12s1p. Amp draw should be pretty damn low with a x457, and I'd bet I'll still be in the 60's.

[Rumdog]

Should get on the water this week. All done besides a coupler I just ordered. When I bought the motor, I thought it was 8mm shaft, so ordered the 8mm to 1/4". Turned out to be a 6mm shaft. Sooo, If anyone wants a badass 3 pc 8mm to 1/4" coupler I've got one.. at discount.

I built it like a tank. 3/4 of the bow is filled with 2 part foam and the entire hull has an extr layer of CF and some glass. It was a FE layup, which means built light. I think thats completely backward, but I'll make it work.

[Make-a-Wake]

Got any more pics?

[lenny]

Can not wait to see some video,:popcorn2:
Would that same setup work in a 48"mono on 8s & 10s ?

[dana]

Hey, make sure you don't use a gasser prop! Lol wouldn't want to smoke it...

[Rumdog]

I'll get more pics up tomorrow.
Lenny, I dont see why not. Should work O.K. Just be ready to buy a few props, and start small. S&B props are always quick sellers too once you find the one you like.

I think I'll start with my 2716 gasser prop... hahahhaha

[lenny]

Thanks for the heads up on the setup,:tiphat:
Peter gave me a x455 prop with the deal.
But I will start with some smaller one than that first,
Now just waiting on FC to open back up for the esc I need.

[Alexgar]

following this thread, Lenny Bens site is open i just logged in

[lenny]

Thanks for that info.:beerchug:

[Rumdog]

Lenny, the X455 would be a good prop to start with. I wouldnt go any smaller really.

[Rumdog]

pics

[lenny]

Ok,
I also have a x452/3 I my try a three blade because they seam run smother to me on mono's.
I have some bigger props to try to.
Biggest I have is a /1457 and 65/100

[lenny]

Looks good Rum,:tiphat:
It almost looks like pepto-bismol color.:tongue_smilie:
Getting it wet soon I hope.

[Rumdog]

Ran it today..
Ask me if I did a float test first.:doh:
Ugh. 2 laps, the nothing. Got it back with a ton of water in it. RX was wet, but OK. Servo is glitching like mad, so I get to take that apart...yay.

It was very fast for the second I hammered on it though. CG was at 30%, and need to go up more. Lept out of the water going full throttle from a 30 roll.
I may keep this setup, but might yank the gear to put in my gas Sprintcat.

[lenny]

Ok, Sorry to hear that,:sinking-guy:
Hope it all pans out for you.
Any video of the pepto- bismol sub ?:popcorn2:
And by the way what were you smoking.:lol:

[Rumdog]

This boat sucks. Handles like a toilet. The previous owner made the strakes larger to try to help with chine walk. Bad move. It doesnt turn.... at all. It wont bank over onto it's side to initiate a turn and just hops like mad. Trie to make a low speed left turn and it rolled right over. It was damn fast in the straights though with a light 1p setup. Never even tried 2p. Ripped all the gear out to put in my big cat. That will be up and running soon.

[dana]

balls….

[Make-a-Wake]

This boat sucks. Handles like a toilet.

Dude, I about fell out of my chair laughing at your description..............:rofl:

But.................I'm certainly not amused at the outcome of your maiden. Is there any way to fix up the hull bottom?

[lenny]

Yep, That really suck.
I almost bought that hull to.

[Strick]

What did u do with the hull ?
