Ok guy's, It's time to have another Fastest RTR build challenge. First up, we all know that there was an AQ SV27 Challenge over at Rumrunner and a few other place's, but it seems that it may have fizzled out after a couple months went by. So I would like to present another Challenge between four RTR boat's of my choice and let everyone choose between two before we start the challenge. If we can all agree on one Hull that would be great, but if we can get everyone interested in this, two RTR hulls will be fun. After we have video's and GPS run's, Member's can also compare between the two hulls.
---RULES AND REGULATIONS---
---GPS and Video---
I think everyone knows the basic wrap on doing the video of their speed pass and how to start the video with the GPS cleared of the last Max Speed, Trip, Moving AVG, and other data before Recording. Please clear the setting's, and take video of the GPS cleared and ready to go, do not stop and edit any of the video for music, slow motion ect. After the pass, keep recording as you bring the boat in and show your last Maxspeed.
---Hull and Hardware Configuration---
In this Challenge, we will be running (ONLY) factory Hull's and Hardware that is included with the RTR boat. The hull is not to be cut down, sanded, or modified in anyway. The factory Hardware is not to be cut down or re-arranged on the hull. (One exception, the Proboat Miss Geico rudder can be modified to bolt to side of the strut as many member's have already done this) Strut adjustment is allowed, along with trim tab's(if Mono is used) and turn fin's. Last but not least, MOTOR MOUNTING, the Hull has to use the stock motor mount, and mounting location from the factory.
---Motor/ESC---
In this challenge, member's can choose any brushless upgrade motor that is available on the market along with the ESC. The motor has to be a direct bolt up to the stock motor mount and mounting location, without cutting or drilling any optional mounting hole's.
---Prop's---
Flex shaft's can be upgrades along with prop size and pitch. You may change the stock Motor collet.
---Lipo Battery's---
Battery's can be used between 2-8s Only
Here are the four RTR choice's to choose from. We need to make a decision on the which two Hulls can be used in the challenge. Please feel free to start posting at any time, and Help decide on which two hulls should be used. Please post up your choice. Please don't feel you have to rush, this need's to be a long and fun thread build between everyone.
