ERCU 1/10th and 1/7th Pictures

[JimClark]

I know most of you are not into scale Hydros but here are pics from
the ERCU Bill Brow Memorial race today.

They include 1/10th scale and 1/7th scale pictures plus a short video of the heat of 1/7th scale, I must say the 1/7th scale boats are very impressive.

The boats , motors and speed control's are not much more expensive than the 1/10th boats are but the batteries are the wallet breaker for sure. Some are using sub c's and some Lipos, Some are paralleling 4s 5000 mah to get 10000 mah. The good part seems like they are set up well and not drawing much out of the batteries. they are also just using Grupner 57mm carbon props. the speed controls are mostly Hextronic but that seems to possibly be something they will have to spend more money on and upgrade.
