New boat. YES!!

[agentorange]

Well guys i just picked up a new boat, well its not new new but its new to me. I traded a guy a Losi 8ight 2.0 buggy roller for a completely RTR Pro Boat Mystic. It came Saturday in the mail. It came with the boat, all of the stock electrics, a spectrum marine RX and a brand new DX2E radio, all that for my roller. I went to the pond yesterday afternoon and ran it for the first time. Im new to this sport and my other boat moves quick but this thing huals. I love it, it was a little choppy on the pond and the boat came out of the water a couple times it scared the crap out of me but it was a rush. I can't wait to put it in the water again. I will post some pics of it up when I can but it looks just like the one on the top of the forum page.

Dont know how to tell but its a brass prop made by grimracer

IT should be on prop. Its raised lettering. Unless previous owner removed the raised lettering, while S&B.

Ok I looked at the prop and its a Grimracer 42x55. its a brass prop. ran it today in some calm water and my friend says he thinks it goes about as fast as a stock Spartan. I cant say as I have never seen a Spartan run but she is fast. On the first lap around the pond in came out of the water twice.

That is a very high quality beryllium copper (and titanium) prop. Be sure it is sharpened and balanced, but don't try that yourself unless you know what you are doing and have proper safety gear including the right kind of resperator as the dust is highly toxic.

You can read the msds on it.

Happy boating

ok well from the looks of it it has not been sharpened or balanced. it still has the factory mold marks. how do I get this done?

[BHChieftain]

I can do one for you no charge.

Do you do prop work too?

[BHChieftain]

Not very often, as they take me a long time and I only have time to work on them during the weekend, but I do sharpen/balance stock props for folks who order boats or upgrade props from my site,
