rigged insanity running race

[j.m.]

The boat's a little big for 6 cells...

A better size for 6 cells would be in the 21"-22" range. 27" is pushing it.

Although the boat would be very light on it's feet for it's size.

I believe he is referring to 6 cells lipo.

[j.m.]

Not quite.

I'm talking about 6 gp3300's. I have a couple of these packs, and i'm not going to with lipo's until I decide to get a 3d foamy(airplane) and get a nice charger.

Also, the price of gear that runs good on 4s lipo is WAY higher than the gear that runs good on 2s.

I was talking about Darin.

Interesting... I guess it depends on where you race... That's about the same size as the N2-Hydros we were racing 2-years ago in 4200's and Neu Motors... 1512 1D or 1509 1D motors on 6-cells with B125 ESCs... Faster than snot... but a little rough on cells...

We're now using those hulls on 4S1P and SV27 power for our P-Spec Hydro class... A little small, but fun... :D

Looking at the hull... this would be a great fit for 4S1P Lipos and the SV27 package... Ours are GPS-ing in the high 40's, and Brian's has GPS'd regularly at 53-54mph... With the motor package being so inexpensive, and the 4S packs being "reasonably" priced... if you had the charger to do it, this would be a good way to go... I charged for 2-season with an inexpensive ICE charger and were it not for my need to do so many packs during the race-day, I'd still be using them...

But, back to your original question... I believe this hull would work just fine with 6-cells... but again I'm considering using a quality motor...

[j.m.]

I'm making a predator outrigger right now, and it's 21" long.

Supposedly, it can take up to 8 cells.

All i'm going to run in it is a feigao 540 7S, no nue's here. (ain't got the money)

I want to see a rigger In the 28" range In glass.

I guess I am going to have to build one myself to mold for a glass tub and sponsons....

[Eyekandyboats]

why 28... to smal for a real 4s race setup and to long for a 2s race setup?



ANY WAY to answer your questions every one.
J.M. I had a plan to do a smaller 2s rigger setup around 23 inches long. just a light weight low amp setup. But i didn't really want to go any further with that a rigger for sport running is like using a mono hull for drag racing.. you can do it but whats the point. as a rigger being made is meant to be raced. looks good and gos fast so i made the boat to fit with in the length limit of IMPBA and NAMBA but allowing the most possible largest hull i could get away with to handle today's power better.
the reason why i am making another 4s rigger is simply because 27 inch 4s rigger is a illegal hull for NAMBA or IMPBA... because it is to small. But for the person who doesn't race.... it doesn't matter.
my 4s rigger will be 33 inches long. and designed for 4s-6s But recommended for a 4s setup if you RACE.
i suppose you COULD run 6 NIXX cells in this boat but as Darin said you will need a pretty decent motor and setup.
this is a large boat .
I may post some plans for the small 6 cell rigger i wanted to do. and never got around to it. I might but not sure as of yet.
I hope this helps.
BTW to make it easier on everyone who is No uptade on LIPO
when you say 6 cells... that is referd to as 6 NIXX cells and 6s is 6 lipo cells.
so when ever you type be sure you can identify the difference. as this happened in this thread.


ALSO I had some one talk to me today about missing a art from there rigged insanity kit........ I am the person who packs them up and cut the parts SO if you boat did not include a part. It is my fault and i am very sorry.
i believe there would only be a MAX of 2 of these out there.
if you have a kit that missing a part EMAIL ME at [email protected]
thanks

Because I have had good results from a 28" 1515 4s setup on a tunnel...

[Darin Jordan]

... the reason why i am making another 4s rigger is simply because 27 inch 4s rigger is a illegal hull for NAMBA or IMPBA... because it is to small.

Actually... I don't think this is quite true for NAMBA... I don't think there are any minimum lengths in NAMBA... P has a 34" max, but no minimum...

[Eyekandyboats]

oh, allright then that rule is pertaining to IMPBA.,
so as a NAMBA boat it can be a 4s hydro.

[Eyekandyboats]

Because I have had good results from a 28" 1515 4s setup on a tunnel...

a tunnel and a rigger are two TOTALY different boats.
i ran my 1515 1Y on 4s in a 35 inch mono, also in a 31 inch sport hydro.

Nah really!... I never would have guessed that.
That's amazing Dave!


Super Dave Osborn :)

I am glad you are coming out with a new larger kit...handles better in rougher water.

The soon to be released Castle MMM combo should work perfectly with it. The motor is a copy of the Neu 1515 1y 2200kv version.

Taylor, I have the pics somewhere on my comp at home of your boat stuck in the Buoy. Remind me and I'll send them to you to post.
