    It will be interesting to hear how that ARC motor holds up. They make some pretty strong claims for it.

          Randy once i got the afterplane length figured out it ran really good. The sponsons were a little to short for a 37" in hull so now its a 35" hull. The longer hulls seem to be better at high speeds in traffic.

          I have an old AC SP40 (37") that needs some work. I'm going to fix it up in the off season with a NEU/Castle 1717(6S1P) then compare both boats in the spring.

            I pulled up the chair and microwaved the popcorn... nice thread... I too saw those ARC motors a couple of years back... been contemplating getting one since... never needed one so far and/or forgot about it.

              Nice job Ken. I think we may have met earlier this year. Are you still running out at Shelby?

                I have only tried my ARC 36-65-1 2080Kv motor for 1.5 minutes and it has little to sweat about with a 45mm high pitch (wrong prop) on it.

                I'm trying a m447 next in my Whip .21 I should have more to say by Sunday night after our last club run.

                The windings are MUCHO thick wire compared to any inrunner I have seen so far and all packed into a very tight package.

                I just might build a Whip 40 and put one of these 3675-1,s in it.

                Sweet ride Ken!! Beauty work EH!

                      Hey howard hope your recovery is going ok, your smart grabbing a 40 Whip, i'm still in a big learning curve with my hull. We should have plenty of competition for you next season.
