Miss Vegas goes electric!

[Jeepers]

Congrats on a successful first run. So many things can go wrong when building a new boat. Keep us posted on future runs.

thanks!!! I will keep you guys in the loop!

I really want to try this on 6s, or 18 cells. I will have to borrow my friends lipos for the 6s set up. but I am gonna try some different props first.

i got better speeds with the x440/3.was running an x435/3 and it wouldnt even take off.it was just plowing the water..gonna switch back to the bigger prop and maybe move batts up closer like jeepers did..

[Diegoboy]

I gotta see that!!!

[Jeepers]

I started with the 442 cause I have ran that prop on my mono, (it has the same motor that the vegas has) it was runnin low to mid 40s on that prop on 12 cells, with low temps so i figured it would be a good start. of course my mono was over a pound lighter also.

Dirty what were the speeds on the 440/3 prop?

[dirtysouth31]

it was 28.2 and with,as diegoboy pointed out, with junk duratrax 3800.got some ib3800 now but didnt get a good run from them or it was so fast i didnt see when it took off

So where are we on this project?

I may have to do this soon!

[Jeepers]

I have not had a chance to get it on the water since the last run. I had to order some props and sharpen them so, I would have I selection to try on this boat.

have you run the boat yet...........

[Jeepers]

Just those couple of times, we have a new pond and we can only use it on sundays as a club function.

I have been so busy moving stuff and our newborn is due(actually over due) so I have been trying to get the babys room done up. I need two of me!

My little one is keeping me and my wife busy also i am going to start my vegas soon and wanted to know what you think would be the best set up to get this vegas in the high 50s to mid 60s...........thinking of Neu motor and Neu lipos and with what speedo.............

I was thinking 6s on my 1521 1.5d should get me into the mid high 50s easy on a small prop so those speed should not be a problem. as for speedo well just for added insurance use the biggest one you have, in case your prop selection is way off. i use a mgm 160 amp now when I test a new boat

I ran the above motor on 18cells in my 30 inch mono (for grins) on a x438 and it was INSANE! wish i had the gps at that time!
