show us your sv27

[ozboater]

seems like this forum is missing one thing.. a thread of photos of sv s... i ll get things started... this is my white beauty... love the thing... looking forward to the goodies i ordered from OSE arriving...

post some photos of ya sv s... especially if you have given the thing a nice spray job...

[Darin Jordan]

OK, here is one of mine... I'm trying it out in N2-Mono...

All stock, with the exception of the following pieces:



Fuller's carbon turn fins on both sides (stock brackets)
OSE Adjustable trim tabs (bolted into stock location/holes)
Neu 15-series motor
Barracuda 125 ESC
Prop
2S2P Lipo batteries


I wanted to do it in a fashion with minimal mods, so I could easily convert it back to Spec SV27 specs.

[Darin Jordan]

This is the first SV27 I purchased... It's all stock with the exception of some OSE adjustable trim tabs. I have it all prepped for Spec SV27 (our club's rules, which will be run at the Nats for 2007), and my 7-year old son, Tommy, races this one...

I think we've won every heat we've been in that we've finished, and we've only DNF'd two I think... Not the fastest one out there down the straights, but it's set up to be drivable and win races! Looking forward to trying it with some NEW batteries, as we've been using last years left overs so far this season!

It's not ALL about top speed... ;)

[avengersteve]

Yup thats a CC Cuda 80 and Feigao 8XL in there.

[ksm2001]

Hi:
Here are some pics of my SV27, no, I didn't do the airbrushing, wish I had that talent though:rolleyes: I run a number of diffrent props, 440/3, 642, m445, the m445 is a great out of the hole rocket but I like the 440/3 for best handling and speed. I run the OSE water jacket, and OSE adjustable trim tabs work great. The radio I'm using is the Spektrum dx3, no need for an external antenna and I've never had a signal loss, the antenna only has to go vertical for about an inch and stays inside.

Ken:)

[saleens7]

looks good...

[ozboater]

very sick... so the braid is ya antenna hey ??? nice touch... great paint

[Jeepers]

thats a wicked looking dragon on that SV!

[Jeepers]

Dont own an SV (mentioned that in previous post) but I thought you guys might like to see what the yellow& silver boat used to look like when it was red& black!

[ozboater]

man, the more i look at this thread the more i realize i need to loose my cheesy stickers..

[Jeepers]

man, the more i look at this thread the more i realize i need to loose my cheesy stickers.. nothing wrong with stickers, look on line at some custom automotive vinyl, they can print some pretty cool stuff now and you can cover your whole boat in it with custom cut pieces.

[Darin Jordan]

Hey Guys... Just thought you'd like to see my SV27s in action at the Nationals!

With the #27 boat, I ran it in the following configurations:

N2-Offshore - Neu 1512 1.5D (3200KV), B125 ESC, 2S2P Lipos (8700mah total) for 2-heats, then switched to Neu 1515 1.5D (2800KV) for the last heat with a bigger prop... the later combo worked much better... Got 3rd place overall with this one!


P-Offshore - Neu 1515 1Y (2200KV), B125 ESC, 3S2P Lipos (10,000 mah total)... Prop was a 42x55 and it worked great...

P-Mono - Neu 1515 1Y (2200KV), B125 ESC, 3S2P Lipos (10,000 mah total).... 45x55 prop... Got 3rd place overall with this one!!

The other boat is my Spec SV27... Didn't complete ONE lap in that class! :mad: Maybe I was expecting too much after driving the other one as fast as it was!! Had fun either way!!


Credit to Jim Clark for the AWESOME pictures!!

[ReddyWatts]

GREAT post DJ. Thanks for sharing!

Nice pics!

[ozboater]

[Diegoboy]

Wow, that is a great pic! :D

[Mich. Maniac]

The SV SJFE pictured is now MINE!!!!!!!!! whew hew! He builds the best and now I can drive the best! Im so excited like a little kid

[tampabuc]

Hello All,

Just thought I'd finally chime in as a new member and show off my latest SV27 (couldn't resist throwing in the MV as well). Nothing special looks wise. I'm focused on getting the most out of them right now.

Killer boats all and thanks for the great advice so far!

-Brian

[Mich. Maniac]

sweet! is that hydro a plastic?

[Mich. Maniac]

sorry, nevermind. sweet boats!

My Miss Vegas motor has never been started its never even had its pull start pulled i yanked it out the day I got it.

[Ctonez]

cheezy stickers...but I did take my time sticking 'em on!

Love the custom painted boats guys.

credit to Jerry Dunlap for the first one and the amazing Jim Clark for the other 2.

[hookedup]

OOPS!!!! now thats a crack!!

[Mich. Maniac]

better get that one HOOKEDUP on the wall!!!LOL

[hookedup]

the wall?! no way, fiberglass is getting laid up tomorrow. gotta get her ready for the rumble this sunday!!! i've never seen a boat win a race because it was pretty!! i'd rather win with an ugly busted up boat anyway.

[Tunda]

you got that right......... try calling back sometimes.....................

[whiplash]

OK I'll start this again, because I love my sv, I will never sell this boat, i'll run it till its last bit of hope, lol :laugh: this boat is the most fun I ever had for 200 bucks.
I crashed once, laid it up, painted.....if I crash again, I'll keep adding fiber glass again and again till it sinks like a rock, I dont care :D
The orange on is what it used to look like

[kck741]

heres mine

http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd211/kck741/Villainnewlookpics026.jpg

[kavvika]

Lighting's not all that great, but here's mine on the stand above my desk:D
Still needs a motor that should be arriving tomorrow, and I'll be replaxing the radio gear with the Spektrum system I have at home and a Futaba S3305 servo (still looking for the servo, actually).
When I recieved it, I could see the faint outline of Caterpillar Racing decals that had been previously peeled off; I would've loved 'em, shame the seller removed them. The hull was looking pretty bare so I picked up some electical tape and went at it. Who new Duct brand electical tape was toxic?

[kck741]

Looks good

[domwilson]

Looks good and it will protect the sides. I think it's a great idea!

[whiplash]

this is what I did with electric tape, took some time though........

[Mich. Maniac]

Here is just a pic of my sv hangin around! Actually I just sprayed it with PPG porche red. In the sun it kinda turns more orange. I'll get the details done and post it on its stand. Paint turned out deep and smooth. cant wait to assemble.

[RiverRat]

Thought I better snap a pic of this thing before its to late.
The paint on the hood was so bad I had to cover it and dont have time to paint myself so stickers it is. I think the stickers is all thats holding her together.
So far she has collected a log, bass boat, the neighbors dock, a buoy and 4 full speed cartwheels.
Yesterday she hit 40.6 mph w/ a stock motor and IB4200nimah. Do I really need an ammo or lipos?

[RiverRat]

Another one

[kavvika]

That is extremely quick! Is that 40.6 mph on 12 or 14 cells?

[RiverRat]

That was on 12 cells still warm from the charger set 1/4" from end of motor.
Tried the same set up this morning on glass and hit 38.7
The only dif was I did not grease the shaft this morn.

[Rex R]

well here is what my hatch looks like after todays fun run :). got run over, that chewed area goes clear through the hatch

[ozboater]

i had to bring my boat back from the dead since she had a run in with a buoy at 30 +... layed up alayer of glass on each side and zpoxyed the inside... covered up the antenna hole and hatch release... sprayed her red with a rattle can and threw on some stickers from a TLD kit that i had at home... came out pretty nice but i do have soem orange peeling in the finish... not bad but noticable particularly on the deck... oh well, pretty good for a first attempt... at least now she doesn t take on any water when it flips...

this summer i plan on building an OM26 with an SV powerplant... should be fun..

anyway, her is my SV, version 2.0... thanks to everyone annd this forum for so much invaluable advice... great stuff...

Mine is the cute little orange boat in the middle

http://scaleaerobatics.org/BOATS/fleet-4.jpg

[Dale Koblitz]

OK, here is one of mine... I'm trying it out in N2-Mono...

All stock, with the exception of the following pieces:



Fuller's carbon turn fins on both sides (stock brackets)
OSE Adjustable trim tabs (bolted into stock location/holes)
Neu 15-series motor
Barracuda 125 ESC
Prop
2S2P Lipo batteries


I wanted to do it in a fashion with minimal mods, so I could easily convert it back to Spec SV27 specs.
Did you start with a green one or a white hull?

[txboatpilot]

Here is my little missle!! She is stock, except KINTEC RACING trim tabs w/water pick-up and S&B Grim 42x55 prop....... I run it on 2S 3700-5300mAh lipos.........Fun boat for sure..

[kin]

my humble reddie ~ fully stock for now , running on 2s 5000 mah on each pack , awsome feel .

[Ctonez]

Did you start with a green one or a white hull?
since he hasn't replied...
The first 4 pics are a orginally green hulled SV, the last one is his originally white spec SV.

[Darin Jordan]

Did you start with a green one or a white hull?

For the one in the attached picture, it started out as the green hull... I like that green... rich but not too dark... Really looks good in the light...

This boat has since been converted back to a Spec SV27 setup, so I can race it in the Spec or Stock classes when available...

[Darin Jordan]

Did you start with a green one or a white hull?

And on this one... I started with a white hull... If I were to do it again, I'd go the other way and start with a green one...

[Dale Koblitz]

I just got a green one and am trying to decide on a paint scheme. So I was just curious weather that was the green and how it looks with other colors. I origionally whanted an orange one then I was going to go with some kind of black accents but I couldn't get an orange one. I'm thinking that orange might still go allright with the green hull. Or maybe a blk and wht checkered theme like I've seen on a titan. It had a checkered theme on the bow. I think the checkered bow along with a checkered design on the sides would be cool. My dilema is I'm going to patch the origional antenna hole up so I either need to match the green on the cowl, paint the whole cowl a different color, or do a stripe over the patch. Anyway my question is does the green on the other one you painted match the SV green, and if so what color and brand is it?

[Darin Jordan]

Anyway my question is does the green on the other one you painted match the SV green, and if so what color and brand is it?

No... it doesn't match... it's a shade or so darker... it's Krylon, but I'm don't recall the exact color number... I can find out tonight...

[Dale Koblitz]

Don't waste your time if it doesn't match. Thank's for replying though!

[chunt92]

heres some pics of my boat. im gettin only 38.9 mph i know its a prop issue any recomendations . ammo 2300 smc 2c 5000 lipos 2 pacs. hydra120 using a ballanced and shapened GrimRacer 40x52 3-Blade. also what should the settings be as far as timming and the current limmiter should it be disabbled?

[Rex R]

timing low or normal. limiter, enabled

[chunt92]

Ok thanks, what would be a good prop?

[Dale Koblitz]

I'de guess like a 37mm prop would be a good place to start with the lipo's but thats just my guess.

[kin]

ive not tried on this prop , but my bet would go on the octurax442. after my reserch and countless of sv videos watched , hydra 120, feigao 9xl , would make u win may races with a good tuning too im sure ... unless someone has better than this set up for now tho .


just my 2 cents to it ~

[Dale Koblitz]

Usually with 4s lipo people are running smaller props like the x437 especially with hotter motors but maybe with the 120 you could get away with the X442. Thats what I run on my stock set-up I also detounged mine. I don't have experience with running lipo's in the sv yet so I'm just going by what I've read. I could be wrong just watch the temps of batterys, motor, and esc maybe the 442 will be fine.

[chunt92]

ive tried the x437 3 blade and was slower than the grim prop.

[chunt92]

also is the feigao any better than the ammo? how much better is the hackers and the neu motors are they worth the extra cash?

[Ctonez]

...should probably move this discussion out of this thread.:sorry:

If you're only getting 38.9 with the the Ammo2300 + Grim 3-blade, then it is likely something other than "a prop issue".

You should be getting nearer 48.9 with that setup IME.

[chunt92]

:help: ........

[Dale Koblitz]

Start a new thread about feigao vs ammo or something like that. Just because this is off topic for this thread.

[chunt92]

[Dale Koblitz]

Very nice! Isn't that fuel tubing? If so I don't see why you would have a problem. I made a coil just like that for my BL mini-v and it works good but probably not as good as direct water contact like the stock jacket. Did you have problems with leaking? You can run a bead of silicone to seal the silicone jacket on. Or the ose metal water jackets work very well from what I hear. Did you do the paint yourself? I'm trying to come up with a design to airbrush on minne!

[chunt92]

sweet!!!..

[supervee1981]

No i had a friend that paints cars and motorcycles airbrush my SV. Hes pretty good.

I used the stock ose water jacket but it leaked a little. I know theres tricks and things you can do to the silicone jacket to make it not leak like grease, snipping the nubs, etc...but i said why BS with it....and make a cool looking copper one.

I wish someone would post a setup: As in the turn fins, rudder, tabs etc...on how to tweak it to get the most speed out of it.

Heres a clip of my boat.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9Rz_ITcRVI

[domwilson]

Start a thread and list the problems, current setup, and the things you've tried.
Alot of us on this board are more than willing to help.

[supervee1981]

ok thanx i will.

[kck741]

what size copper is that

[CarolHazlett]

You guys have some awesome talent! My efforts are pretty meager in comparison but I still like trying anyway. My whole design concept is based on being able to see my boat at a distance and being able to see which end is the front after a flip. My first RC boat was a medium blue N1 mono and the first race I lost the boat in the backstretch. The next weekend it was white and I found myself going the wrong way down the course after a flip. Since then everything I race has orange flames on the front!

[supervee1981]

its 1/4" copper tubing from lowe's.
Nice flames carolhazlett. I love my flames.

I see alot of people are building pvc pipe stands for their boats. Does anyone on here have the specs so i can go to lowes and buy the pieces i need? EX: How many T-joints, elbows, 90 degrees, etc..

[chunt92]

just got my second sv in the water today its hittin 36 check out the vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLOtnHaI3vE
makes me feel kind of bad that my other modded sv was only 39mph.

[Rex R]

well here is a parts list for a stand
parts list;
5' of either 1/2" pvc(white) or 3/4" cpvc thinwall(cream colour) (my local Ace hardware will sell by the foot, last time I looked 'Farm & fleet' had 5' lengths availible)
fittings to match type of pipe
4 tees
4 elbows
out of that 5' of pipe you will need
4 connectors 1.5"
1 cross piece(bow) 4.75"
1 cross piece (stern) 5.5"
2 side rails 18"
foam pipe wrap (iirc 34" total) & a roll of vinyl electriacians tape)
taint quite as fancy as some but it works for me.

[JeepRubicon2k3]

Dual cooling, OSE can cooler, X642, stock motor/esc/radio, OSE trim tabs, 400 grit bottom, port side turn fin, 5000mah 7.4v Airthunder Lipos.

Keny or Kssi I want to race on a budget as fast as I can. Thats what Im doing now. Maybe who knows if I may buy a more expensive setup,but for now Im doing fine with what I have.

[hex-dj]

Here are a few more pics of my SV 27 EP! In the setup pic ,I removed all the crud recently and looks much better on the inside too.

[MAYDAY]

In response to all these speed demons tearing up our waterways.
Team Coast Guard has launched a new series of boats.
On our mayden voyage the boat went so fast all our decals came off.
Is there anyone out there that could make us some vinyl ???? HELP
