HPR 135 Bulletproof Build

[nata2run]

Nice one Chris, must have been a lot of fun maiden that thing. Good luck with today's run.

@ Jason, straight 57's I think meaning 457 S/B but not modified.

@kent, thanks. Thats what I figured Chris was talking about. I might run that prop for longer run times.

Chris surprised I didn't run into you Lake Ronkonkoma is great its amazing how rough it can get though. I have been using blydenburgh park but wind blows down from the north and it also gets rough.

I have been running at miller pond lately kinda small if you don't use the right lines but this place will keep you on your toes and is always dead flat. SAW runs are easy with the right positioning I'd imagine terrifying though at 130mph. Look forward to seeing what this boat can do. In the process of building a mystic 138 after seeing the pic of manuel surfing atop his hpr bulletproof I have some regret. So now that this boat is almost done whats next lol

Mike when we're you at lake ronkonkoma I went the whole weekend and today..... Jason kent hit it on the head..... Kent thanks for the good luck wishing but I needed a little more luck. I had my cooling lines blow off when I ran the 450/3 blades the extra speed I think expanded the silicon tubing toooooo much. This led to a gallon of agua in my boat killing both my schulzes. Today I ran it with my new set of yge 160 hv's. She ran very very well considering how rough the water was today. I Was worried about the little yge's handling the big lehners, but it all came back ice cold. Even cooler than it did with my schulzes on 10s with the 447's. Tomorrow I will go up in prop and do some more testing. Wish me luck. Oh and by the way I actually barbed the cooling line intakes and outlets. I also double zip tied every fitting there is on cooling system.

Hey Richard how are things going thanks man and yes she is a lot of fun to run and has tons of power bro

[Jason4636]

You killed both schulzes? Man thats gotta hurt!!! Glad to hear you still got it running

[nata2run]

Chris, I would wish you good luck again and again, but I always use to say "Luck is for the unprepared" not to mention, my comment the day before (watch those cooling lines )

[nata2run]

Im glad you're testing the YGE's as I'm planning on using them for the HPR 115, good to know they will fit in my 138 if I ever need to. Have barbs on my cooling lines also, smart fella whoever came up with that idea?

[Chrisg81983]

Jason yeah man it sux really bad doth stopped at exact same time. I am hoping they will dry out after a few days when I test them again. I have them both hanging up in my laundry room right above my oil burner. I will keep you guys posted with the results. Kent yeah man the guy that told me that is a smart son of a gun NOT !!!!!! ..... I am actually really very happy with the first testings with the yge's I will continue to further test them and hopefully they will do what i need for the time being until I get new controllers. If you guys want to see footage of the run where the schulzes stopped and of today's run hit the link I my signature both runs are there. Thanks

[Jason4636]

Have you tried any of the corrosion x? I think its supposed to help dry stuff out? Maybe a contact cleaner

[Chrisg81983]

I was told by someone who had the same problem as me not to use it and just let it take its own course. So lets keep fingers crossed.

[Jason4636]

I'm wishing you good luck, pray for resururrection

[Chrisg81983]

Here are pics of new setup. I moved esc's t o sidewalls
