Hi rchippie please go check out my photos at my new SV27 I ran her today 46.3mph what a blast. I thank Jan at Kintech and Steve at OSE for all there help and support

I just finished sealing all the wood & added a little glass around the motor portion . It's curing right know . so i'll have to wait to do anything else . Also my boat came with some styrofoam in the bow . Is that enough or should i add some more ?.

Some guys add foam everywhere possible, I just added some square pieces to in the aft, users choice. I would without a doubt make sure you add foam to the cowl.

Hi everybody.

I finally got my SV27 . I will be using neu lipo's . Instead of modifing the battery tray . Is it okay to just remove the tray & velcro the lipo right against the hull ?. Since i will have to slide to lipo's foward for better COB . This would be eaiser .

I only removed just the foward lip of the tray and made some strapes and epoxyed them to the hull. Works well for me.

First run

I took my SV27 out for it's first run today . Everything went great there was no water in the hull . The motor temp was to high for my liking . So i think a better water jacket & water pick are the first upgrade i will make . I slide the lipo about a inch past the mount . But the boat seemed a little hoppy , unless thats just the way they run . Maybe i need to slide them a little farther foward . The water had a slight ripple & the air temp was about 58 - 65 degrees . I did have to adjust the rutter linkage just a little . All in all everything went great .

add 6 ounce weight in front of the motor it helps with the cog and it will help clam it down some .

How much in FR of the motor would you suggest ?. I have plenty of lead stick on weights .

Don't add any weight it will just slow you down your COG should be between 7" to 8" if it runs to wet it will heat things up fast every boat is a little different you have to try things out for your self start with every thing neutral and change from there most important is the strut it should be as close to 0 as you can get it a little pos is ok try to keep trim tabs level too and work with COG 1/4" at a time to smooth things out. hope this helps

ADD THE WEIGHT i did not just make this up check the fourm!! it WORKS AND DOES NOT SLOW THE BOAT DOWN NOR HEAT UP THE MOTOR,WERE YOU WOULD EVEN NOTICE!!!!

been running with the weight for the past 2 summers

I too am a newbie but loving this boat I have not added any weights but moved the batteries pretty far forward. The main mod I have made that I feel helped the most is upgrading the cooling systems and adding a pickup. Below is a link to a few pics of my setup.

I am looking at that same trim tab & pick up combo . I see your still using the stock pickup as well . Are you using one pick up for the esc & motor & the other pickup for the motor mount or are you using both combined for everything ?.


Here are a few pics.

My cooling is stock . But i like badag 98's boat . Should i use both pickup's or just the upgraded one ?.

[jlr3rd1]
