    Its on my list too Mark... I am going to actually go to a couple races one way or another next year... this stealth is one that gonna come along.... from what I see I need to run a UL-1/BJ/SV motor in spec class? So I guess my stealth will be de-tuned as well.... the Ul-1 motor should be a walk in the park to drive as the hull can take alot more then the 4074 leopard then it in it now...

            It might seem that way when running by yourself, but if you get a chance to race next season you will think it is plenty fast. Especially in race water conditions with 6 others boats running at WOT right next to you.

                The Phil Thomas Stealth is the newest boat from from him. It has some improvements over the SS21, including an easier to tape down hatch, and I believe some improvements in the sponson shape. Also it was designed to be easier to setup and more geared towards running FE.

                    Colby, you can't go wrong with the PT, Whiplash, or FE 30. I set up my FE 30 using the guts from my UL-1; Motor, SC, servo, servo mount, flexshaft, Tx/Rx to illustrate how adaptable this is for UL-1 owners. The wide open space inside made this easy.I did use the Insane rudder & strut. It does 55 mph using a 4S 5000 Turnigy & a H-5 prop without breaking a sweat & even makes a driver like me look good !

                    very first test :



                    [batt's were incorrectly identified as 2S2P - it was 2X 2S in series]

                        Is the H-5 prop you are using the ABC H-5 Propeller?

                            Sir please try a Prather 230!! Hell try a 235 if you feel a little gutsy (I never went bigger then the 230). I can never seem to remember to get a H5 every time I order. I would love your opinion on the Prather.
