Sniper build ll "PREDATOR"

Hi peter you are very welcome and yes thats what i thought as there would be no airflow in the boat but the certainly look the part.

I also like how you used aliminium tubing for water lines it would reduce the chance of kinking.

I was wondering if you used any special tools to shape them as i would like to do something similar if you dont mind me taking inspiration form your setup.

Hello Shannon - Actually the tubing is stainless steel 1/8ID - 3/16OD and its two 4.0" long strait tubes not bent anywhere , please help yourself and copy whatever you want and if you want any closeups just say the word .

Very nice, and crazy fast Peter! your workmanship shows in how it runs and performs. Now try balancing that prop. I think we all had some minor mishaps yesterday but over all it was great getting out and ripping up the pond.

Ken sorry I missed your post - thanks and yes we all seen some heart breaks - you are dam lucky you had floatation in the DF29 cause there wasn't much of your boat sticking out of the water , I am in the process of redoing the stub shaft to accomadate 3/16 shaft props while still retaining the 1/4 bushings , I would love to go back out in a few weeks again . Hey I am hoping to have the other video uploaded of yours , Vlads and Tims runs hopefully either tomorrow or Thursday the latest .

hi peter thankyou that means alot and yes whichever close ups you want to provide just wondering what did you use to connect the metal tubes to the rest of the cooling system the black things lol

[Punisher 67]

Shannon the black things are the three wires going into the motor from the speed control - here are some pictures at different angles of the cooling system

Hey Peter,

She looking good, Just a little airy some times to keep you on your toes.
Some time the the air hitting the cam may add to the wobble she had at .
Did you try it with out the cam on the hatch and see if it makes any difference in the handling ?
PS, You mean 2 x 8 S and 2 x 10 S right not C ?
What C are the cells you are running ?

Lenny the camera is very tiny and will not impact the balance at all . S - C - C - S it still screws me up and the batteries were Turnigy 45/90 5000's

Hey Peter I like the music and a little rum to go with it.

[Make-a-Wake]

Sounds like "Miami Vice" music.

hi i dont see anyplace what size boat this is.. is it the Delta Force Sniper 45 ....

[crrcboatz]

NICE build thread and WONDERFULLY built mono. U spoke of torque roll at one point after running it the first few times before the bc prop broke. In gas boats we offset the stinger 3/16" to the rt looking at the transom from the rear to remedy this. Have u given thought to doing that? I am building a delta bottomed cf clone, the HOR mono, and plane to do just that as it will be getting a 29.5cc modded engine.
