Odd Duck, H&M twin wing setup thoughts, suggestions

[ray schrauwen]

I have acquired a H&M twin wing Sport Hydro. Didn't cost much and it's in pretty nice shape.
I know it's not a real 1/10th scale and from the weight it wouldn't cut the mustard anyway, be lucky if it got on plane.

Sooo, I was curious and a bit lazy with searches so I thought I'd ask people on here what they might put in this puppy, it's 37'ish inches long and here is a pic. Mine was painted white over the original red gel coat booo:angry: but, it looks nice and has some decent decals on it.

When I have a working camera, I'll load up some actual pics of what I have not a pic from H&M.

I was thinking maybe 6S1P with a Turnigy T600, 1400kv outrunner for shiznits and giggles. It's more of a collectors item than something to race. I think the only class it would fit in is, open hydro and I don't think it would compete but, I have no idea.

I'll start doing searches but, these puppies aren't too popular.

TP 4070 5D 1650kv on 6s or I have a used TP 4070 1770kv (they don't make anymore) it was pretty fast on 6s in my GP400.

ran a 1515/1y on 4s and a 1521/1y on 5s both ran well this boat looks great but in reality does not perform well at over 55mph.

Thanks guys.

Stop encouraging Ray...the boat will soon be at a new home..

[ray schrauwen]

Doby's right. I'll never be able to enjoy it like he will, it's very large and clumsy for me to work with. It was a good deal so, I passed it along.

I really like it but, dang it doesn't fit on my lap. I sold off my 40" green mono too but, I will keep my Whip 40 since its a bit more compact. All I'll build now is a Whip 20, the Cheetah I got in trade from Tom and maybe a Cyberstorm I have packed away.

I really though the twin wing was smaller.

Its gonna be a Q Sport Hydro....using the out runner you described above....and by the way, NAMBA says its a legal hull.

[ray schrauwen]

That's cool. Competition sort of... :)

[madmikepags]

I've had this boat for 8 years and it is NOT legal for P-sport or 1/10th racing, there was a provision in the rule book but the length limits screwed it. I've tried to run this as a Q-sport and it is not what you want to run in that class, TRUST ME!!!

[Doby]

Who said anything about "P"??

It will be fun to try as a Q!

Well from what I've seen, if anybody can make it work Doby can. It may not be optimal but I would bet $ he'll make it run with the pack.

[Doby]

Back of the pack, front of the pack, who cares....the goal is always more boats on the water and FUN!

[madmikepags]

I'll take that bet!!!!!!!!!! LOL some of the bet Q-sports in the country will be at the Mi cup this year, will be a tough pack to run with!!!! BRING IT ON EINSTEN!!!!! LOL

[Doby]

Not hard to run at the back of the pack.....but at least it will run! (Hopefully)

[madmikepags]

I always loved that hull I have mine done up in a pretty cool paint scheme, but I haven't run it since the 09 Mi nats.

[Doby]

pics???

[ray schrauwen]

This is true... if he can get around me, I'll be kicking myself for selling the hull but, I'm pretty confident of my 40 Whip :smile:

Don't have to get around you Ray...just stay in front of you:laugh:

[flraptor07]

Looks like I started somethin' :laugh:

[Doby]

I already have Ray beat...This hull looks fantastic....Whips are hideous.

[ray schrauwen]

I can't argue with that... well, naaa, forget it.
