1/6 Scale Drag Boats

[GoFastNow]

Here is video of the same run. I have my drone hovering about 4' above the water, hoping for a head on view. Boat batteries were not full charged, so it was down on power. So far, this hull is acting just like a full size boat, which is what I wanted. If all out speed is what I was after, there is a better way of doing this. But I wanted it to be scale, thus 1 BIG motor, 2 props.

Video is MP4 and I cant get it to upload.

Oh man.....whata great shot..!!! Love the spray...and the way she looks runnin...!! Awesome job on that hull....

Thanks, this is what I had hoped for, scale look. I like how the 2 props seem to send the roostertail up, and not so wide.

Did you get it to launch well?

Yep, its doing good out of the hole. I will get a launch video soon.

Got my hull from Randy about a month ago and its just about ready for paint, all the hardware is installed and fitted, went with a single prop, Leopard 5898 910kv 2y, going to start out with 10s and go from ther, hope to share some pics asap

I am looking forward to seeing the different ways people rig this boat up. Being as there are no instructions, hardware kits, or examples of what this hull should look like when it ready to run, you just have to figure it out. I built mine to be scale, two props and 1 big motor, not a daily driver to tool around the lake with, which someone will probably do, but thats ok. Will a single prop get up and go faster than a twin? From zero to 100mph from a dead stop, who would get there quickest? I think mine with twins will go zero to 100mhp around the 4 second mark. My goal with this boat was 100mph, with two props, and I think I can do it. What goals do the ones building with a single prop have?, as a single prop should be capable of much higher top speed.

Im curious myself how the single will do, was worried about the weight of the hull with the gearbox and extra hardware, wanted to keep it as light as possible, i know twins is definitely more stable and quicker out of the hole, thats a fact, i cant wait to do some testing!

[Jrod2604]

How many others have one built or being built, i believe my hull was #5 out of 8 sold so far?

Hull is base coated and cleared, all together, leak/float tested, still need to add my prop and lipos, spun aluminum fuel tank should be here thursday, mags and wiring on the motor soon, Randy is working on a windshield decal and after some testing i hope to get some graphics done to finish her off! Looking forward to making some test passes soon!
