N1 mono survived but, How about N1 Sport Hydro?? Could call it N1 LSH ???

Hi Y'all.

Just stirring the pot on classes etc...

I know some go GAGA over the N1 mono class but, N1 hydro is dead isn't it?

N2 Hydro or N2 Sport Hydro will drain a bank account almost as fast as P-sport hydro will so... how about an N1 or NLSH class to run those old 24"-26" H&M hulls?

It could be powered by a 2860 Leo or a 3650 Leo or even this little 635watt motor.

Twenty bucks for a motor and a Suppo esc's would be the rule. Thats about $50 for the power setup, that's it!

Run it on 2S1P only and see what happens.

I know it's like watching paint dry right? ...but, that's what some say N1 MOno is like.

It's just a thought since big ponds are hard to come by for real races in Southern Ontario Canada.

This would be mucho fun on Humber Bay pond or the like....

Don;t beat me up too much, just thinking out loud...

Cheers!

This should be a club class, not a National class. As an example, my club has an N-2 spec sport hydro class. Everyone runs 2S1P, a Fiegao 7L 3500 Kv motor and a stock m440 prop. Inexpensive and fast enough to be fun - mid-40s. We developed the class to be able to use our old LSH hulls. The class just keeps growing and is a great beginner's class due to the slower speeds. P-LSH boats are running 10 mph faster...

I like that idea! So are the hulls roughly 22 to 24 inches?

That's encouraging to hear Fluid, thanks! Can't really get 7L's anymore that I know of unless you go to Feigao direct and then it's $$$.

This is what I was begging for our clubs in this area to do a long time ago and now that London is a no go, who knows??

Yes, club racing is the way. I didn't really want to make it an official class, just poking to see who is interested in it.

Too bad I sold my H&M Lifter... fast hull....

Every one wants to go big....... until they see the cost. What we were thinking on a club level is a open RC Car motor class, 2S1P. No 1/8 scale car motors allowed this becomes a lot of fun with the little old boats, ESC and motors we all have and does not break the bank. 21 inch boats work great. Of course this is on a small course 170ft.X 30ft.

[ray schrauwen]

Yes, Humber Bay was perfect for that sized boat really and car motors are cool too, I have one kicking around.

[RandyatBBY]

What is Humber Bay?

[ray schrauwen]

You were there once I think about 10 years ago... It's a pond in Toronto Ontario. I know Alan N., Howard T., Terry D. all have been there. I thought you came once when we were still using brushed motors?? Maybe not..

Ray, in order for it to be considered for a club class, people need to show up for club races etc....throwing another class into the mix is not a solution when you can't consistently fill the ones we currently have.

[ray schrauwen]

There are more people to consider than those in the GRMM club John.

[Doby]

Where are they Ray...????

[ray schrauwen]

You have to wonder WHY that is then.

[ray schrauwen]

Not in GRMM

Where are they Ray...????

[Doby]

They are non existent when it comes to getting folks out on the water.

[ray schrauwen]

On a certain body of water yes. What do you know of who runs where else? Just because people aren't in a formal club doesn't mean they aren't on water just not 'the' water you speak of.

I don't do this to your threads btw. If I have I sincerely apologize.
