I see you wanted to be fast so you went with a MERC :D
looks good man let use know how she runsThe Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

where did you get the merc logos?The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.Comment

Yea I had to get rid of the Evinrude Idea...Merc has it all the way..I had to except that...I was gonna try to place 2 on a Black Jack, but 2 adds weight and drag..for scale it would look great.Last edited by RCprince; 01-05-2008, 01:57 AM.Samuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment

is that what that is an ep1, did you have to mod it to run octura propsComment

So how does it run? I'm guessing this a huge downgrade as far as performance goes.Comment

I almost ran by a 64mph jolly, before it chimed walked an went under, I lost my Gps and Blew an Esc..It was suppose to be just " Test " run , to see how a 5s with a 2731kv motor would work, Just got a lil carried away and forgot to tape the hatch...We don't do ovals..we're just into brute speed not endurance runsLast edited by RCprince; 01-06-2008, 05:06 AM.Samuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment

I never would have guessed that an outboard motor would run faster than a direct drive flex system! 60+mph, thats nuts for a SV. Even with a good ammo motor, 4s lipo's, and a good prop people are barely hitting 50mph. I'd like to see some video of this boat at speed. I bet it runs very dry. Do you have something up front to add weight or do you just put the batterys way forward? Where do you get outboard motors like this?Comment

The outboard is an Aquacraft Ep1 that I placed a brushless in, http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...od=dh-hcab7861...We thought we had a video, but one of my cousins can't seem to operate a video cam yet....actually I run it wet to keep it from chiime walking Right now I'm looking at a Neu 1509 4500kv on 3s or a 1512 6700 kv on 2s...doing some researchSamuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment

It appears you reworked the engine covers to make them taller did you? Also did you try a Supervee motor in the outboard?
My Cat has twin EP1's that I just upgraded to 19 turn motors! I am also relocating them farther out of the tunnel for less drag!
I never thought of relocating the water cooling inlets on the lower drives -- that's a great idea!
One last question what props are you using?We did it with a Bang!

I made that cover out of Balsa and 5 minute Epoxy I lost both cover for my both outboards, plus these float now.. I'm running a feigao 9l 3mm shaft fits right into the ep1 drive dog...I think the SV Motor is to much for those gears plus the rpm is to low, I'm pushing a x637 need those high revs to wind out that prop, rather than torque to spin a larger prop...Yea I tried to make it look like the real thing...I'm a scale nut...for me It has to look as real as possible...it's the kid in me, I'm also using a 4mm shaft..from a helicopter rod.Last edited by RCprince; 01-07-2008, 01:12 PM.Samuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment

Hey RC - will the feigao 9l 3mm fit under the stock engine cover of the EP1?We did it with a Bang!
