HJ's Mini Geico Cat,,,

[6S HYDRO]

make sure you wax the tape area before you put any tape on the new paint, and lets see vid now

[HYDROJERRY]

Wax ''OK'',,,,,Vid,,,you no i will!!!! Gotta show my hard work off now just hope it runs good!!!
Peels,, I still dont no the power thing well enough to do any real fixing on peoples stuff but i did just replace the cable on my computer speakers,,the cable that plugs into your computer or for me my Ipod Touch got riped so i opened the controlling speaker and went to Radioshack got a replacement on and solderd it in now it works great!!!!!

[HYDROJERRY]

PS on a 380 size 4000kv motor what should i set the timming at high i think!!!!

[peells]

No dont ever use that setting just run it normal the esc will last longer and you will have more fun plus with that 4000Kva motor and that prop you said you have you will have your hands full try running the boat to the left with an easy hand until you get used to it and have your weight slightly to the back just a little so the front end stays up a bit the boat will haul freight trust me and no more than about 2 degrees on the strut angle try almost flat with the bottom and see what happens oh yea easy on the trigger that little thing is going to rip watch my video of the bob kat on my blog.

[HYDROJERRY]

WHOW peells if mine goes as fast as your Bob Kat ill be happy!!!!! In the first section of your vid that thing jumped out of the water that was cool!!!! I ll do the auto on the esc like you said and i think the wate in her is alittle to the rear anyway,,but yeah ill set it like you said and give her a try!!!! Im sure my brother will want to see it run so ill get him to take a vid for me!!!! FOR ALL TO SEE LOL,,,,,

Is today the day for a runIs the miny going to the lake!!!

[peells]

OK now off to the lake or local pond with you, It is rainning here I hate running in the rain maybe some duck hunting but not electric boating (zap spark poof)

[HYDROJERRY]

Hahaha,,yep got it wet today but it was very upsetting,, it was not very fast at all and well only got like 1 or 2 laps,,,it could bairly getup on plane and i could realy tell at slow speeds that it had the water pickup onthe right sponson...Got Chud to do the vid for me but im still trying to get it loaded,but i did take some water shots for proof!!!!Ps it was windy and like 51 degrees!!!

[Rumdog]

Put 3s to that motor! You may want the Seakong 60 for that though.

Its alive!

Looks like it was on the ragged edge of blowing over man, perfect!!!!

hey, at least it got on plane. so, what is the final motor in it. Did you change to a 4000 kv or is it still the 380-2700 turnigy? And what prop, still the 27mm or did you go up?

It looks great just floating in the water! Tell us the specs and we will be able to offer all kinds of back seat driving advice!

Oh, how many cells and what capacity? Oh, also looked like you might have picked up a leaf on the second run.

Hey Brian,,I GOT IT WET,,LOL but anyway it has the little 4000kv motor, Turnigy marine 35a esc, 2s 1800 lipo 20c and the prop is the octura 427!!!!!

[befu]

Well, according to OSE website calculator, they are estimating 25 mph with 25% slippage. I think you have some higher slippage going on there.

Any feedback on the temps or how much power it was pulling or used while running? did it sound like the prop was cavitating easily on acceleration? I noticed it looked like it had a hard time getting up on plane.

If temps and power draw were ok, I would look at starting to go up in prop size. A 427 is a very small prop. You could also look at Peels setups and see what he was running prop wise on his little single. Might be a guidline.

Otherwise just throw a x430 or x431 on it and see what happens!

Or, lower the strut to get more prop in the water and see if that works, but I think you are going to need more prop. A 431 might get you up to 30 mph. do you have an eagle tree?

[HYDROJERRY]

No,no good testing stuff,, Nothing was hot at all and the batt was at 8.14 from full charged at 8.40,,,
