fun run

[Eyekandyboats]

a bit of fun. I went out today with my friend to run our N2 whips on 2s1p.
we ran on small props because it was rough. any way. he runs a E flight 380 and it tops out at around 37 mph. and i run a MEGA ACN 22/20/1 and it runs alot faster but we both propped down and had good fun!. flipped the boat every minute. enjoyed the day... less stressful then racing

Looked like fun Taylor. I flipped my Whiplash today coming out of the straight and moving pretty well. It was the first time my whip has been on its lid so far. I did however lose my prop and shaft, I didn't have enough solder on the end of my cable and it looks like it slipped after the crash.

oh it was fun. we got about 4-10 inches or air of mostly all the waves. and fliped the boats only twice.
the whips are awesome in this kind of water. i can run at 55+ head on into the waves and water with only a hint of flight and very stable. very fun! plus these ones are only 26.9 inches long

How did you shorten the boat? Did you just modify the kit pieces? What about the width, did you narrow the boat at all too?

Thanks

totally scaled down version.

[Raydee]

Scaled down and completely changed. This is what the kit looks like from Blazer.

Did you guys get them from Brian like that or was this something you guys did on your own? Sorry for all of the questions, but I have 2 kits. One will be nitro but the other I would like to run in FE. I would like to run it in N2, but like you guys I think it's a tad too long and too heavy.

for N2 it is to long to race legally. But a N2 setup could push that boat.
i just did this my self, it was not to hard.
