SV27 setup and speed

[toddilgen]

if you want a very fast super vee set up the batt. in 4S2P configuration, the stock speed controller can handle it no problem. but hold on get ready for an insane ride!

I want to break 45 on 12 cell nimh for now

[Avanti]

I'm going to have one more go at it this weekend but I don't think 45 is in my current set up (the battery and motor maybe) the prop needs work and weight placement need work.

[Avanti]

well I threw on the port turn fin and it help with stability a bit but it scrubbed speed and the boat would not turn left to save it's life.

41.8mph (40x52/3grim 7.2 4200trinities) tonight that is all for this weekend I am still happy even though I did not get 45mph. I have to rethink my set up and get a few more props.

What does it mean to blueprint the hull? And by rerigged you mean different running gear or just remounted it? If it was just remounted why and where? I'm new to rc boats so sorry if these sound like ignorent questions.

How odd. Mine turns left just fine. It was OK without the port fin, and much better after I added it.


I am curious as well. When you all are trying to squeeze every last MPH out o your SVs is it all SAW running or are you trying to get the fastest oval runs you can??

I am oriented towards oval racing, so for me SAW speed is fine, but going fast around an oval is more than simple SAW speed.

blue printing is sanding the hull flat so there are no imperfections like dips and bumps.
rerigged with same hardware using silicone and adjusting thing to the right position. the factory was a little sloppy on my trim tabs (which need to be replaced with better ones anyway, but I have not got them yet).

My opinion is still not made up on the usefulness of the port trim tab. I made some more changes tonight and hopefully I will get to test it tomorrow.

my friends BJ26 just went 42.9mph so I have so extra incentive to get my set up dialed in.

[obrien]

woo hoo! I have more work to do.

[Avanti]

Bill-socal... I am trying to get the boat dialed in for top speed right now, trying to get some stability as well

I want a stable 38-42 for oval racing ,but I'm not there yet.

[RCprince]

Avanti why not make your own tabs...I made some for my outboard Supervee...I work flawlessly...The factory ones seems like you'd crack the transom trying to adjust them.

[Dale Koblitz]

The factory ones aren't adjustable are they? Thats why they sell adjustable upgrade ones.

[Bill-SOCAL]

OSE makes bolt on set that look great. I have bent mine without a problem FWIW.

[Avanti]

now that obrien has his BJ26 dialed in the SV27 needs some serious retooling and rigging to keep up. I also have a lot of work to do on the prop. he has my by 2 mph right now so I have my work cut out for me, plus I have yet to get the boat to lay down.

I have some great ideas to put to the test (might share them later, I want to test them first).

[obrien]

I hate to tell you moe, but the BJ ran even better today.

Still leaks like crazy though.

[Avanti]

so whats your point you will be caught by the vee sooner or later
