love the boat.
I'd love to see it if you could do up glass hulls of that.

Stealth, let me know if you need a good test/shakedown motor for the project, it appears mabuchi has the 800 figured out on the first crack!

As a matter of fact I do need some more James! I did not want to try the blackbird on the maiden voyage. I was going to try It after the ao9 out of the flash.

You need to give me a price and a pay pal addy or I can snail mail a money order. You name It.

That's the plan after the test run. I have alot of peeps Interested In a glass hull also over at S&F. They also want me to do some more scale builds after this. :D

The maiden voyage went Good! I was running some worn out 2400 packs and a 700. She was running wet and can take alot more power.I need some more cells!

looks good.....yeah, i does seem to run a little wet, cant wait to see how fast it goes with more/better cells

Thanks,
Yeah the cells killed me but, I know that the hull design works preety good scaled down for the first run .

Looks good to me. The difference between the voltage of a 2400 and 4200/4500is a world apart.

I bet! Also the packs where not so fresh older premade packs that where probally trashed back when I used a wall charger on them...:rolleyes:

My 3800 packs are down right now.

Dude!! That was a fantastic first run..especially considering it was your first scratch build, on a boat of your own design!! You are a natural man..:D

that thing is quick! a couple of questions what does a real one look like? and what does the STV stand for?

sweet those are cool! what speeds are they capable of? how much power in the outboard? and are you using an outboard on your rc version? sorry for all the questions!

It's funny that you ask about If I am going to use outboard power because, Most of the guys that own STV boats are wanting to use outboard power. The setback transum can take outboard power with no problem but, I don't think I will use It.

A 300 drag motor with nos on a STV has run 151. something mph.(Micheal Dixon)

I really need to work on some changes to the pharing to make It a little more scale...

I may just carve a plug out of foam...:)

NEAT! thanks for posting the vid! Funny! I always thought your avatar pics were RC drag boats now that I look closer I can see the trailer of the real one in the pic as well! :D
why are you against using an outboard for your model? just curious.
