Supervee rebuild

adding weight in front of the motor 4 to 6 ounces will help stop some of the bouncing, there is a thread on this fourm talking about the cog and weight :) and also move your batteries forward to the front of the motor, this should help alot. THE BOAT LOOKS AWESOME

If you check out the pic and if you are familiar with the sv27 you'll see I remounted the motor further forward of the stock mount and the batteries were moved forward after the first run but last night I was messing around with the boat and noticed the stinger is aimed a little high so I am betting this is the problem.

sorry i didnt notice the motor placement, i do have a sv :) good luck

Reviving a old thread here, just curious if your still around. How did you glue down the motor stringers? I have laid CF in the hull and have some lexan polycarbonate stringers that i would like to put in there, just not sure if strait epoxy is enough, any advice?

The stuff Christaphason linked you to is plenty strong enough it's what I used in all my boats . I have had a few nasty wipeouts and the stuff didn't budge.I would recomend drilling small holes all along the mounting end of the stringers to give the epoxy more to hold on to

Are you sure you want to put plastic stringers in the hull? Once cracked or fractured your going to have to replace them. Our RC boats can see huge forces on the hull when they get out of control, like flipping. Carbon fiber flexes, wood flexes, even metal flexes but bends. I dont want to tell you what to do but have you thought about the shear strength of lexan/polycarbonate? The fact that if a crack develops from one of the motor mount screw holes it will continue to spread outward?

Would like to see pictures if you go ahead with your plans. It will look hitech for sure!

I was a little unsure about it. I did some strength testing to make sure it was worthy to put in the boat. I figured if lexan is bulletproof it should do alright. When I worked at an ice hockey arena we used lexan instead of glass, because it's much stronger, and very flexible. I tried breaking a stringer that I messed up with my bare hands and couldn't do it. Well probably could have with gloves but I bent it as far as i felt comfortable, didn't want shards of lexan in my hands or eyes. I have been taking some pictures so I will comtinue posting them. Thanks for the warning though, I hope time and bashing does not prove you right.
