1/6 Scale Drag Boats

[RandyatBBY]

I still build 1/10 TFH and Runner bottoms for real drag racers to run when they are relaxing. There has been a loss of the Parma 1/10 motors and I have been wanting to build a bigger boats but did not want to go to 1/5 or 1/8 scale too expensive for the electrics. So I found a dummy motor in 1/6 scale that there is a good supply http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=1+6+scale+hemi+engine&hl=en&prmd=imvns&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&biw=1024&bih=653&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=5042924912029017398&sa=X&ei=3RQTUJXjFsSjrQGdrYCQCw&ved=0CGIQ8wIwAw

I am starting to build a plug for the FTH and Runner bottoms in 1/6 scale. The TFH boat will be 38 inches long and 14 inche wide. The Runner Bottom will be 35.8 inches long 10.83 wide at the transom.

This is my start.

Oh Baby!

[egneg]

How heavy is the motor ... I wonder how it would look in my 51" shovel?

[Fluid]

According to one seller it weighs 3.55 pounds - the block is die cast metal after all. That's more than most large FE motors.....maybe it's just a display accessory.

The one I bought most all of it is plastic just the center block is metal, much lighter.

Like I said it is 1/6 scale. I have the template for the runner bottom started and at the same point as the TFH.

[RandyatBBY]

Well plans have changed on the boat I am going to do Problem Child. Most of the time I do not show the building of a Plug to make a mold. But in a post a few weeks ago some one asked how to do it. So hear is the one and only time I am going to show it. You need to have some imagination at this point of the progress to see the finished model. I will post a picture of the top half with out the sponsons and bottom. It is still a little rough. So bear with me.

Thanks, mine will be 37 inches long correct for 1/6 scale. I like the cnc drawing you did. this one is going together fast Now if I can just stay on it.

[mickieb49]

Lets hope mate, im looking forward to seeing how you go.

[RandyatBBY]

I got very little done this weekend, I just glued the parts together. This morning worked on the rear sponsons

[srislash]

Keep at her Randy, we (I)need a cool drag hydro in the 3ft range

Well Randy, Now that you're building one of these and I've gotten no response from David @ Hyperformance. How long do you think it will be before you get the mold done and start popping boats out? I'd rather buy from you anyway..

[egneg]

I would like to get one when they are ready as well.

[RandyatBBY]

Thanks guys any one else wants one please post and I will have more incentive to finish. Although on a lighter side when I first read the two of you wanting the 1/6 Problem Child Hydro (PCH/TFH) I thought of the Warren Zevon recording "Send lawyers guns and money!":biggrin:
I am going to cut a little on the bottom mold today but I really need to get back to the three or four other boats waiting to be done that are production work.

[RandyatBBY]

I got a lot done in the bottom plug today for the time I had.

If I can keep on it like 3 hours a day M threw F I would say two to three months to make the first boat. Orders and like today the doctor gets in the way. But I am on the down hill side of the P Sport boat and I really want to get this one done.

I have decided to do this boat as a shoe box style molding at least in the front, to do butt joints are much weaker in the narrow hard to get to places. What do you guys think?

[RandyatBBY]

I had time in the doctors office to think about the build, just a yearly Physical. I decided to build a lower butt seam and make a inner mold to do the shoe box I will end up with the best of both worlds. pictured is the bottom back portion of the new mold.

[RandyatBBY]

I have decided to make the block part of the deck/hatch so that when I sell the hull you will be able to build the dummy motor as part of the deck. Also I am in the process of making molds for the 1/10 scale hemi as we speak. I do not know what I will do today on the buck but I will bring home pictures of what I do today tonight and post them. Hope you guys are enjoying the mold build blow by blow.

[drwayne]

More working, less typing ........ :smile:

I love the blow by blow Randy. It is good to see how you put it together.

I have spent about 20 hours looking threw pictures trying to find a good shot of the bottom of the sponson. Bullet Fiberglass built my friends Tallon 38 If I must I will call him to get a picture But i did not want to bother him. I was hoping a bright friend had what I wanted with out the stress of another 20 hours.

[flraptor07]

Very nice Randy, other than "69" that's my fav Camaro, is it a split bumper car? Anything newer than "73" is No Bueno!!:laugh:

[RandyatBBY]

Frank is building the 71 for his 16 year old son and wants to have the larger stock bumper for safety. Frank put a newer drive train in the car efi and all. It has a Dakota digital dash, new 8.5 stronger rear end. 4L60E trans and a Vortec 350 with a older tunnel-port EFI.
Yes the "69" Camero with the RS package is one of my favorites too.

How did the repop panel fit. My buddy Gary built a car for Von Gittin Drift Car Champ. It was a dynacor 1969 Mustang . I must say that was most jacked up body ever >>new repop<< body right out of the shipping crate . Nothing fit fenders doors hood rear deck stock tail light housing wouldn't even bolt up. Looked awesome once done but before that what a pile before .

It was AMD. I suggested the full panel but my friend oped for the short/cheaper panel. we did try to use it but the short panel or 1/2 panel was to long a pos. We bought the full AMD panel and it was excellent.

"A up date" the seams for the trunk lid turned out to be 1/2 of an inch on the drivers side and 1/8 passenger side. On the 72 T top Camero we have in same garage the trunk seams are 3/16 on both sides. we will ajust the trunk lid on the 71 to be centered but much wider.

I've got one of these it looks like it would be perfect, I think if you mount it low on the transom like the real ones it will be fine. Besides your just using the rudder to guide it strait and low speed turns, this boat is not designed to turn like a oval course boat.

[flraptor07]

And maybe these cut down to 40 or 50 mm. http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ose-80105

[flraptor07]

Or these, the 17th and 18th items on this page. http://kintecracing.com/Hardware.html and another cool rudder is the 34th item with a CF blade on it.

[RandyatBBY]

On the strut I will make a under the boat mount. I will start with adjustable, till I find the best setup. Remember I have a full machine shop.

I am only one guy, I race 10 times a year, if I am lucky. I work on several molds when the time is available. This project always pulls on me. But I have priority's that pull me more sometimes. It will be done right, I am not going to rush creativity. Thanks for asking it does make me feel better. I am not going to Moab this year (dang it). I might go to Hot August Nights. That is if the 65 or the 70tie are running.

when I looked at this thread last night I was asleep and did not want to wake up to answer much. Parma does not male the 1/10 scale Hemi any more. That is another project I an going to finish this winter. I am going to mold the block into the deck hatch. then I want to build the molds for heads, valve covers, magnito, blower, injectors and bug catcher. I intend to make the motor parts out of epoxy or liquid plastic.
Right now I have no orders for anything. This has never happened before. So I am working on this set of molds.
Thanks everyone for interest and comments.

Hey Randy ...looking the business, indeed.
Not checked this thread for several months .. thought to find yours circulating by now

My own is in 14 day countdown before it's maiden run ...... :smile:

[Agitator]

Waiting with great anticipation when one of these will be available. Found and ordered a 1/6 scale Ford blown motor today. When it gets here, will have to see how much work these take to reverse the blower and exhaust for a true drag boat engine.

[RandyatBBY]

I will get it done. I have been working on a few orders, one was a full build with paint and graphics ate way too much time. But that is the way it goes. I just did a little on the cowl and sponsons.

[Agitator]

:thumbup: all good Randy.

Just an FYI-the 1/6 scale engines are still available through various sources, but have been discontinued by the mfr. any one that is planning on building one of these with this engine, you should get your engines ordered. I have 2 Ford blown 427's ordered.

[ls1fst98]

what kind of power would these need?? i have a castle 2028 and a 400a esc that may work..

[Agitator]

I think most are thinking twins, of some variety, as that is what the full size boats run.

139743

[RandyatBBY]

4S to 10S single and twins will work, 1500 watts and up is needed. The castle 2028 and a 400a esc should be fine.
I plan on running 4S twins 1521 motors and 300A ESC. I am going to take my SAW motors and setup out of my SAW boat for the boat.

[ls1fst98]

Ohhh....2028 to a gear box would look sick too! These big enough for gas?

[RandyatBBY]

Ohhh....2028 to a gear box would look sick too! These big enough for gas?

Mine is a 38 inch boat it would be a hand full 26.cc Motor might fit, we will have to wait for the first boat to be made.

Randy, I tried to go to your forum, and it says my ip was permanently banned?

[Agitator]

Any progress on this Randy?

[RandyatBBY]

Sorry It has not been worked on since last fall/Christmas time. I just have a little more to do. People keep me busy. I am just old and slow, with several projects.

I am done doing things half-a$$ I want to make the molds the best I can. for that point everything I do I want to be better than average.

[srislash]

:hug1: We love you anyway Randy. We are all getting along.

[f1rogers]

Any progress?

[RandyatBBY]

Well I keep running after $$$ and then I work on orders. I never get to it because it has nothing pushing it. If I had 4 or 5 guys that step up to the plate it would be different. All it needs is finish. It is shaped. If you really want to see this mold get finished Plunk down a deposit. Then it will get done. If you guys did this I can take it to a body shop and have it finished in a short amount of time.

[FORT-26]

What will be the "estimated total price" of a finished hull?

Also, did you decide to go forward with molding all the motor pieces separately?

Thanks,

With the size and complexity of the hull a fiberglass version will be in the $400. range. Carbon fiber will be a bit more Like $465. and this is all in epoxy. The block will be molded in to the deck hatch . I will be doing molds of the other pieces of the engine.

Just had the best color sanding ever on the deck and the canopy is better. I will start on waxing this week. It will take 12 to 14 coats of wax. With at least 4 hour to dry each coat, then buff and rewax. Out of 120 wet dry going to the hardware store for more.

Very cool, keep at it , the are a few guys building mini v8's that put out about 10 horsepower check out Conley motors V8 stinger 609. and schillings. they are about a 100cc and you can scream them to about 10 HP. They want big money for them but they would be the cherry onthe cake for your hydro drag jobs!

Thanks. I know about Conely. Never heard about the schillings before. This boat can be powered by anything. Can I afford one ??? Man I would have to save way too long and what I do have of that value I would not trade for one. Some one might do it time will tell. It sure would be neat. I think some one else has done it. Mine will be electric first. I do not know what Shawn or F1rogers will do.

I think I'll 'too out' on the cats this year so onto the next challenge is what I mean.

Well there is no stopping this build of plugs and molds. I just pulled the buck from the mold and now we have a bottom to the boat. going to Az. this winter and family matters have complicated my time a little. There is a race this weekend and I am the CD but the boat still gets a little work.

The first hull out of the molds will be FG. Molds are good quality. I do not do infusion, do not have the supplies nor the experience with the process.

One of them anyway. I think Randy has sort of a block melding in there somewhere.

[volusia]

What scale are the V8 motors and where do I get one? Looking for one for my 40" jet boat. Cheers, Steve

That block/deck mold was started, but not finished yet.

I fitted the main body of the boat last week before I caught the flu. Luckily I was over my sickness by Xmas.

Glad you got over it in time Randy. That is usually my trick, two days before the day I will catch something nasty.

[volusia]

Thanks for the info on V8 engine, going to order one now, cheers, Steve

The hull body fits fairly good. The sponsons are filled with foam. I am moving along on the build.

[srislash]

Looks great Randy

[RandyatBBY]

Actually making good progress. Goined the sponsons and tub. First one done with in a week or so.

A new process I have been thinking about. Is to take the wet cloth and squeegee a thin film of slurry on to the cloth to make a clean CF finish. Light and strong. No need to paint good looks and no water leakage with CF. Also close to look of infusion but much stronger. This is the result

That looks fabulous Randy. And don’t worry about getting old, it happens to the best of us. As long as you are enjoying yourself that’s all that matters.

I actually just had this conversation Saturday with Andy. Just keep the love.

Shaun this your boat waiting to have the sponsons mounted.

Working on getting a scale scoop for the boats. I found a guy in canada to make one with a 3d printer.

Anyone I may know? On west coast?

What are you thinking Randy, perhaps the three butterfly type bug catcher?

[RandyatBBY]

I found this guy on facebook "Scale Design by MrcommaD". Any body know the manufacture of the scoop so we can get more scale detail?
Yes the scoop will be the three butterfly type that sticks up in the air a long way!

Randy, Have you tried resin infusion using MTI Hoze?
No catch pot, no dry spots, no bubbles. it takes the place of the spiral hoze in a RTM, but the hoze has a microporous membrane that is permeable to gas but impermeable to resin. It works.

Is there a video of the process? It looks interesting I get bags from APC the owner is a friend.

Well they are called ‘hats’ Randy and Enderle makes a CF one. BDS would likely as well(Blower Drive Service).

Actually, the tall induction system is called a “Bird Catcher” and the shorter one is called a “Bug Catcher”. Here’s a pic of a BBC, 500ci, blown on alcohol motor I put together at my brother’s boat shop in Woodinville, Wa last week. It’s a BDS 6-71 blower on BDS manifold with an Enderle Bug Catcher... It was a fun build, all new Dart Block, Ross pistons and Eagle rods. I B a happy guy!

[RandyatBBY]

This is what I want the name of the manufacture.
