Are there any 35-38in wingless fiberglass/epoxy hydros suitable for FE? I'd like to run a Neu 1527/1.5D or a 1527/1Y on 6S2P...

Just about any sport 40 hull will work. The phil thomas SS45 hase been run with good success. It's epoxyglass.
A whiplash would be good, but that's a wood kit.Brian "Snowman" Buaas

I am building a Whiplash .40 (36") Hydro, that will use 6S2P ans 1527/1Y... Thought about the SS45, but I wanted to build a wood kit for something new..Nothing like keeping you lipos warm and your prop wet!!

Thanks guys. I wish I had the time to build a wooden kit, but I think I am going with the SS45. I have a DF22 Hydro and a 1/12 Llumar Hydro that are for sport use using Feigao motors. I want to build a large fast oval racer Hydro using a 1527 running 6S
Hey, TX, good luck on the Whiplash Hydro. I've seen pictures of Ray's and it looks great. I keep vacillating whether I should go with a 1527/1.5D or 1Y on a 36in hydro... This week, I am leaning toward the 1.5D.Mean Machine Cat: 9XL, 4S2P, CC120, M545 (50mph) -- DF22 Hydro: 8L, 3S1P/4500, CC120, x637 (49mph) -- M-1 SuperCat: 1521/1Y, 6S2P, CC240, x447 (61mph) -- SV27 Mono: stock setup, 14-cell/4200, x642 (42mph) -- Micro Scat Cat: 28-3600, 3S1P/2100, Turnigy 60, x430 (41mph)Comment

Did you want a Sport Hydro or a rigger?

... At some point, both. I believe that building sport hydros are the necessary "training wheels" to build a successful outrigger. Since knowledge and experience is cumulative, a SAW outrigger would be my "final" build in this hobby. I've read up quite a bit on outrigger design and operation, but still feel I have a ways to go. In the meantime, I am going to exhaust the possibilities of sport hydros... Maybe next year, I'll take on building a 30-38in outrigger...Mean Machine Cat: 9XL, 4S2P, CC120, M545 (50mph) -- DF22 Hydro: 8L, 3S1P/4500, CC120, x637 (49mph) -- M-1 SuperCat: 1521/1Y, 6S2P, CC240, x447 (61mph) -- SV27 Mono: stock setup, 14-cell/4200, x642 (42mph) -- Micro Scat Cat: 28-3600, 3S1P/2100, Turnigy 60, x430 (41mph)Comment

Impressive boats! Any future build will have to revolve around using 1521 or 1527 motors. Do have lengths on these hulls?Mean Machine Cat: 9XL, 4S2P, CC120, M545 (50mph) -- DF22 Hydro: 8L, 3S1P/4500, CC120, x637 (49mph) -- M-1 SuperCat: 1521/1Y, 6S2P, CC240, x447 (61mph) -- SV27 Mono: stock setup, 14-cell/4200, x642 (42mph) -- Micro Scat Cat: 28-3600, 3S1P/2100, Turnigy 60, x430 (41mph)Comment

Real training wheels are Monos then the Cats or OPC, then sport/Scale hydros and you right the Riggers are on the top.Comment

I am running a 1521 in the sport 40 I went 81.1MPH a year ago on the first time out, it is 36 inches long I am running a 1527 .5 in my oval rigger average speed 67MPH, 34 inches long these were all done with 4S and the oval was done with 2P. It could be a little longer with different sponson placement. The SAW boat is 41 inches and has the same tub.Comment
