    Bby micro hydro 50+

    Here's a vid of my record holding BBY Micro hydro in action..
    Super rough out for the little tyke

    Got ahold of some glass 6:30am (not in the video) she hit 63 but slammed the wall (driver error)
    wasn't used to such a long freecoast after getting out of the throttle on glass..

    Very nice. I also sell those struts with bearings and love them. I use the 4mm stepping up to 3/16" shafts.

    That baby is fast! So did you total it with the wall?

      Totalled

      Yessir, TOTALLED (sob sob) I really liked her. I had one almost identical hit a bouey and sink to her wattery grave never to be recovered

      Yep, the drop sponsoned micro shovel is on the bench now getting hullprepped
      for a direct hardware transplant.

      the shovel should be exciting where I'm upping the annie to a NOVAK Ballistic series 3.5r with a 14mm rotor on the same prop.. basicly 2500 more kv

      That glass run (not filmed) was incred.. I made a pass of nearly the length of the pond, and it seemed to just keep accellerating.. I got out of her too late, and that pup has NOTHING underneath it, and a little 427 has little drag/stopping power

      She smooched the bank at 50+

      I believe the pass to be in the mid 60's but I'll have to get the shovel built and dialed to se what's up..

      These little ETTI struts are a DREAM.. bearings last forever, they spin like a turntable, needle oiler passage, sweet color..

        I'm pretty sure I would not have wanted to be sitting by the wall like that girl is doing.

              That's a shame Bill, sorry to hear that. Say, how is that project going with those crazy sponsons. Also, you still owe me some pictures of a certain rigger

                With your speeds you might want to get out of plastic. :) I know they are strong but the weave in FG usually holds one together after the crash better.

                  Hurt

                  Well, at that speed most any hull would have gotten hurt slamming near full speed into concrete, but indeed the little sucker would look good in composite..
