Is it the stock UL-1 ESC?

For the UL-1 motor yes.. for the Neu ESC I am thinking of ETI or Swordfish.

Douggie that sounds like a real McBoat and not a girlie setup like you mentioned before. I think a picture of Mel on the deck and the name Braveheart on each sponson would send a chill into the hearts of any competition. See below...



BTW Chuck has sent his prop for the Aus versus USA shootout. All I have to do it get Andy to do an identical prop and it will be GAME ON. They will both be tested on my BBY rigger.
I have to find a gift for Chuck. I am thinking of sending him a pet Bunyip or maybe one of Andy's fresh water crocodiles. Chuck could teach either of these animals to retrieve his boats.

Aus versus USA prop shootout

Well guys most of you will know that the Flying Scotsman (Douggie) has been trying to get a prop competition going between Chuck (egneg) for the USA and Andy (Andym) for Australia. Both can churn out a mean blade so it will be interesting to see the on water results between two identical props on my BBY rigger.

In the good old fashioned Aussie way Andy (Andym) has sent me a little money to help me with my expenses. See below...



Andy no one would ever think that you would bribe me so it is a given that it was a gift. Just in case people think you are rude I should explain that the term DickHead that Andy used in reference to me is a term of endearment in Aus.

I can not wait to see the results.....Paddy, as we all know is a gentleman and a scholar, unlike the riff-raff from the populated areas of the Continent, who will cheat at every oppurtunity. Paddy, check your paypal account you may have 0.01 cents as my generous contribution.

On another matter "a girlie setup" ..that is a low blow to my nether parts.

Douggie what would frighten you most

This

+ Neu

Or this

+ UL-1

We all know how bad a drunken Mel can be.
What I am trying to create here is an image of a drunken Highlander that gets an FE boat and decides to go racing. A kilt will scare people but a dress makes them laugh. It is all about image Douggie.

[Flying Scotsman]

Neither, a picture of a pissed Andy with a wallaby would scare the hell out of me.

[egneg]

I have a picture of Andy that would scare the hell out of Satan himself.

Either one would be great on the Barbecue!

What a terrible thought. You really need to see an Exorcist to get that devil out of you. LOL

[egneg]

OK, this prop artistry is way beyond my skills, for a moron what prop with a Neu 2200kv motor on 4S, I was going to start with an X640? I do have a cupped X442 from the hands of the designer of the UL-1.
Andy, I do love and respect you....you heathen.

Douggie

I think an X642 that is detunged, pitched up, and cupped a bit will do the the job.

Aus versus USA prop shootout

Enter contender number one for the USA
Chuck (egneg) gave me this prop as a gift and I thank him very much for it. You can see his workmanship is first class but as you know the proof of the pudding is in the speed it travels at or something like that.

[Xzessperated]

Chuck has offered up his prop for the challenge but Andy is waiting on me to get a 1747 so he can do his stuff on it. He has been polishing up his skills on this prop that he gave to me as a gift.

[Xzessperated]

Here is another prop that Andy gave to me as a gift. I believe it is an ex Darrin Jordan prop.

[Xzessperated]

Chuck and Andy, I have thanked you both for your props but I would also like to thank you for your friendship. I have never shaken hands with either of you but I hope to do that one day. After I retire Chuck, I would love to come and go to a Packers game at Lambeau with you. Andy, maybe we can drink some grog, make some wakes and watch a Crows match.
Thanks guys

Douggie you are on my list to visit too so be warned
