Miss Bud Gen 1 Conversion

Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought it was better to get a 1/8 prop shaft because there is more prop varieties. Would this work?

No... that set up will pusha Grim Racer 4057( what I recommend) up to a 645 for speed runs, with ease. just keep an eye on your temps with the bigger props. Try and keep all temps (batt,ESC,Motor) around 100*F... and it will fly !!!

So is it better to get an all 3/16 shaft or am I ok to get the 3/16 stepped to 1/8, Sorry I'm just getting confused.

You want the 3/16 all the way. Straight staft no steps.

[TRXRUSTLER]

ok thanks

[RCKong]

forget the 1/8

[TRXRUSTLER]

Is this prop ok to start with, Grimracer 4057 with my setup? I will just buy this: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXVXS5&P=ML and this http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXVXS9&P=M

What thickness glass should I use inside my hull?

Thanks, Chris

i really like the carbon fiber idea. i did this to my sv and it looks amazing when finished. its much more rigid. much much more. it has a medusa 3680 (2200kv)and a turingy 180 esc (4s 5s 6s) and has taken several pretty violent crashes without any hint of damage at some pretty decent speeds. it does run great on 4s though. lol. i am also doing the bud that has straight shaft conversion and just stepped back when i got to the nitro motor mounts and thinking of how to get an adj strut on the transom solidly. i also got the flat bottom strut because i have never tried one of those and wanted to see the differences. it may be terrible but its what i am tryin first. lol. think i am gonna try the carbon fiber route througout the bottom though. i would use the heaviest fg cloth you can get to conform to the shape of the hull. good luck and please keep posting pics.
imo this hull is so sweet looking.

I have been looking at the CF but everywhere I go it is way to expensive to buy and I couldn't find any that were sold in sheets, just strips. I might just fiberglass the whole inside and be done with it. I like this hull a lot I have always wanted a Miss Bud, Im just not happy that I bought all the wrong parts.Now I am going to buy the UL-1 strut and flex/propshaft and will use a Grimracer 4057 prop. I hope everything goes well.

Thanks, Chris

Don't sweat it Chris if you can't get the carbon. Glass will work just fine just not as good looking as the carbon.
