Project genesis

[F1 madness]

LOL cheers jerry,and me
wont be long

[crrcboatz]

Very nice build all the way around. Clean and neat inside and out. The limited use of the green on the white is just killer. Lots of bragging rights here 4 sure.

[F1 madness]

Thanks bud,i like clean and simple looks and thats what i try to aim for,but without being boring LOL

Guys iv ordered a cap bank,but do you think its abit overkill

What you reckon

[F1 madness]

Delivery arrived
Cap bank and esc for the rocket
Just gotta work out which way best to fit the cap bank now.

option 1 fold power wires over solder to the cap bank and sit on top of esc

Option 2 add 2 wires and solder directly to where the power wire fix to esc

[F1 madness]

Here it is in all its glory and ready to hit the water.
Cap bank fitted and changed all the internal cooling pipes for 4mm id and pressure tested.
Should be interesting to see how this performs compared to the saga

Genesis maiden after modded rebuild

Hey guys run the genesis today after all the mods done and fully rebuilt
The offset rudder works fab in the clockwise direction but not as good clockwise but i run clockwise now anyway the boat handles much better than before with with original inline strut/rudder setup.
The biggest problem is prop torque even with 3s pack in left side of hull as you look from transom and the offset strut but once up and running its great.
I run the 4214/2 prop to start,cavitation was an issue
2nd run i tried the 4217/3 and all it did was cavitate but once it bit its quick,but i wont be running this prop again.
Temps on both runs were barely warm,and the cap bank worked a treat

Hey bud
it turns ok,infact its better with the offset rudder for sure,but soon as i try to power it proptorques and lifts the sponson out the water till you straighten up again then hit full throtlle LOL
if it were wider would be alot better for sure,i even even offset the strut it suffers from it haha

[SLOW]

Those swans have some balls!!

That poor boat, it needs some more room to stretch its legs!!!

[F1 madness]

Hey Slow there a nuisense LOL
Going this weekend to bigger pool and up in prop,will GPS the runs and see what im hitting,then compare to the saga cat i used to run the same setup in.
Wil get vids and pics and post them asap

If I may ask? What does the capasitor bank do? Excuse my dumb questions. I'm quite new to all FE boat stuff.
