Pictures of your Micro Riggers

[kacordy]

I want to buy or build a super fast 3s rigger that's 15 to 18 inches long. What's out there? What is the best motor, ESC, prop, lipo combo that is durable and fast. Can you please share Pictures.

Thanks for your help, Allen

I have seen these run, with 3S power and a small out runner. Very quick and fun.....on smooth water.

As I recall this was the motor used.

There was a sweet little rigger caller Renegade Rigger. It went out of production, but I believe one of our own is resurrecting it.

Larry, I have a renegade. The challenge is it runs a non water-cooled out-runner. I want to build something bigger that I can run an in-runner in with water cooling. I like the H&M below. 6oz hull.

What size are you looking for?

[kacordy]

I want to build something that has at least 3500kv and is crazy fast. I have a private pond at home to run them. We are in a huge drought in California and it's getting to tight to run 4s. The 3s will allow me to get some radio time around a smaller course.

I have a Delta Force Vortex 16" hydro that I would sell. Leopard 2845 3000kV motor, AquaCraft 50 ESC, just add your radio and battery.

In Naviga there is a Mini Hydro class, for hulls under 450mm (just under 17 3/4"), I run a JAE Minisprint with the tips of its sponsons cut off (despite them calling it 17" it is a touch over 18"), with a Mega 16/15/3 300kv motor, on 3s 1500mAh, spinning a detongued and backcut X427. The Minisprint is the best <450mm rigger in rough water. In flat water the Rasch Mini Hydro is considerably faster, these differences can be reduced by using thinner wood in the Minisprint which is pretty porky if built with the kit wood as mine is, but as light as you can build it the minisprint will still be slower in flat water and better in the rough. The H&M Mini Hydro is new and I have as yet only seen 2 racing but neither were good, it may have as yet unrealised potential, but at this time I would have to advise against it.

My MiniSprint




Rasch Mini Hydro



The mini Hydro class is not blisteringly fast we run >5 mins on <110g of battery which at the moment is 2200-2600 2S or 1500-1700 3S, which is <200W. Here is a sample of the class.

We are starting a new class in the UK next year for the same size boats but 6 lap sprints 2-3s with no battery weight limits. Here is the first test of my Minisprint with Mega 16/15/2 4400kv on 3s 1100mAh well cut x632, only 3 laps as it had no cooling on the motor or ESC, later that weekend I did get it up to 6 laps with the same setup uncooled, but it was hotter than I would like and will get motor cooling before the racing starts.

[kacordy]

It was thinking about the delta force but it does not turn like the bigger boats. I want something that runs like my CF Raptor or Mr. Krabbs but in a much smaller scale. I'm going to build a rigger.

Paul, thank you the information. Your pointing me in the right direction. These are the boats I'm interested in. Can you please share your source for the motors? ESC? Etc. I would assume your running a wire drive?

Thanks, Allen

Paul, this is exactly the type of performance I'm interested in. I'm not following you on the Mega 16/15/2 numbers? 4400 kv is perfect. Is this an out-runner airplane motor? How are you planning to add water cooling? Your race course is amazing. Can you post some inside and outside pictures? That is an incredible race site.

Paul, can a person buy the Rasch mini hydro? Can you post a website?

or the JAE mini sprint is alot of fun too bud. I have one of these small bolts with a 4811kv inrunner and i run it on 2s 2000mah 20c venom packs with a mystery 30amp esc with a octura x430 and its a freaking lil rocket ship.

More JAE's and a scratch built rigger. They are a blast
