man that sucks...............I hate UPS..........I send everything USPS is I can, if not it goes FED EX..............Id rather DHL but not available where I am

I think you will like the 4mm stuff and easy to adapt to 3/16 props the cable and output shaft are captured and cant fall out............Im using some of the stuff on an BJ26 rehash

re :

Thanks for the info, guys. Gives me something to think about. Since I'll likely transplant my 1515 1Y, I'll need to run a .187 cable to be on the safe side. I've been running this setup [ Fine Design 21 EGRSA ] with a .187 in the tube setup for the original .130, minus the teflon liner in the Drifter. Works well, & the drive can configure the rudder on either side. I like a left-side rudder on cats to lift the outside chine in right turns to avoid the chine "trip & flip," a well known Drifter characteristic Ray's hardware might work as well.

Well this just got put on hold. When I recieved the hull on Sat, it was damaged. This is the second boat in a row the UPS damaged in shipping. The first was a MHZ hull and now this one. If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any at all.

Oh no ,

that looks very bad , i was very lucky that my order with 3 boats came with no damage at all .



Did you mail mr Cheung yet and send him the pictures maybe he will send you a new one in a bigger box .

that was your problem, they are great to deal with

The guy I got it from took it back. He gave me all my moneyback, even shipping, and paid for shipping back to him. Thats a standup way of running a business!

True, cant complain about that

The new hull and hardware came today.
Time to start building.

I think I want to see what I can do on 3s with this hull. My mean machine build is going to be my lightning fast cat. I was thinkng of using a Fiego 8s motor and my HiModel 200amp ESC.
I have the motor and esc already. What prop would you guys start with for this combo???

[focused]

Are you sure you want to do this . The s8 has a rev of 4436/volt on 3s = 50K/min.
start with a 34mm prop .

I would prop up a little to keep the rpms down. I have 200 amps to paly with. With a X632 prop, FECalc has it spinning at 37,249.16 RPMs

[j.m.]

That motor won't be able to handle 200 amps running through it.

I would use an L.

[Spot Me 2]

OK. I have decided to go with a nemesis 6xl, Hydra 120a, on 3s starting with a x632 prop. Set up correctly, I expect to run mid 40s. With some tuning, maybe low 50s????

[j.m.]

okay.

That'll be MUCH better.
