El Lobo 22" stepped mono build

[rockwerks]

I picked up this Kevlar and carbon fiber boat hull about 18 months ago and have decided to build it up now.


I think I need some help from the EURO guys on setup. You can see in the pictures where I plan to place the items, this is a 2S1P boat

Plan is to place the motor forward of the front step, the esc, and Servo with the Receiver on a small shelf at the transom. This will allow me to still use the batteries to slide under the receiver and adjust forward to the motor for weight adjustment.

a few pics







any help and thoughts are always welcome. I posted up at RRR too.

dang look at that stinger!! i ran my no step on a 1509 1.5 d on 2 and 3 s/ 438/2 blade and a 200 amp esc.. it was fun.. i wore the hull out ( cracks all over.. ) im gonna set up a maus micro in similar fasion..NEVER RAN THE STEPPED VERSION THOUGH.. KEEP US POSTED!

I had my motor way back and escon one side and battery on the other..

From searching the internet there is little info but from what I get from the info out there the CG should be about 1/2" forward of the front step once up on plane it should ride as a 2 point hydro. The front step as one point and the prop as the other. '

One article also mentioned that the prop should be 2 to 3" behind the transom. The weight should be mostly down the center line of the boat. So the motor up front, the batteries behind them and then the esc inline also


Ive went to a lighter servo mount and a lighter servo than usual. The esc is a 70 amp mystery watercooled and plastidipped only weights a couple of ounces. also going to try a Lehner basic XL 3100 on 7.4 should give me decent prop speed, if that does not work well I will go to a low KV outrunner and a speed trans. Then I can swing bigger props

Most articles say that you need not use trim tabs on a stepped mono. My thought is to put them in close to centerline of the transom to help with stability

cry baby asked me to delete my post regarding his health....done.

My stepped H&M Streamer ran very well with the weight along the centerline and the CG between 1/4" and 3/4" ahead of the front step. You will need a large turn fin on the right edge of the transom. Stepped monos are NOT two-point hydros and they do run on both steps with the prop surfacing. I hit 44 mph in mine running a UL-1 motor on 4S with an m440 prop.

Thanks MOM

This is not very respectful of someone who is trying to save you from a potential health issue.
A bit more maturity on your part would be in order here - this forum is not RC Universe.....

Thanks DAD.

If one wishes to preach junking up threads is not the place to do it, that is why we have the PM feature.

The information I was referring to was from an article by a European mono champ he said the quickest run as a 2 point hydro. I will see if I can find the article again and post a link

a little side shift, looks like you are sanding/cutting/drilling the hull. Please be sure to use a respirator (not mask) and gloves. The powder that fg and cf produces is deadly, and has been shown to cause lung and liver problems. Microscopically, the powder resembles little spears. When you inhale it, or gets absorbed into your bloodstream, the spears go to town creating scar tisse.

now back on topic.

Man this is good stuff. How bad does it hurt to thank someone and move on instead of this attitude?

I appreciate the concern people have for us - I can use all the safety moments possible. It is easy to forget that your body can't just be overhauled like a boat hull.

Thanks Kooke, appreciate the message . I fully agree with Fluid by the way, this ain't any other forum but OFE! If this stuff is junk to you, maybe you in wrong forum?
