Miss Geico Race Prep

Let's not get personal
This is a great thread that Darin started, many of us use this as a tutorial.
Please show us some class... Surely someone who is as knowledgeable as you are would possess some of that quality.

clown, you look good on the picture[ATTACH=CONFIG]111726[/ATTACH]

WHAT exactly is your point?? Why don't you just come out and say what's on your mind? I'd love to know why you are harassing me in this way?

The Mystic "Minus-Two" is a Pro Boat Mystic that I took the overhang off of, blue-printed the STOCK ride-pads, and put an extended strut mount on to put the prop EXACTLY back where it started. It uses a STOCK Miss Geico/Mystic Flex Cable at it's STOCK length... I think I may have had to trim 1/4" off or whatever to get the gap just right.

The point it that this hull uses all the factory ride surfaces, and the ONLY reason I took the overhang off was so it would be legal in N2. The ride surfaces, geometry, etc. are all stock, other than being blueprinted. It runs just like any of my other FIVE or so Pro Boat cats...

In case you were interested in knowing, this same boat also won the N2 Hydro National Championship, running 2S2P 10,000mah total (Thunder Power 70C 5000 mAh 2S packs X 2), a Castle Hydra 240, and a Neu 1515 0.5Y, turning what started out as an Octura X440/3-blade prop... Yes, that means 6-Laps around a 1/6th Mile oval course in race water against Riggers.... for 4-heats... finishing 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, with 5-boats in the heat... I suppose you'll say that never happened either??

I really think you need to stop trying to slander me and prove some non-existent point, especially on a thread I started to try to pass on the information I know about how to setup and enjoy these boats, and just spit out what you are trying to say.

Otherwise, I'm done with you, because you are acting childish and are wasting all our time. We've tried to help you. You then turn on us? Seriously, Dude???

Manny let's get back on track. Darin has a long list of records and trophies to prove his worth. I don't see a need to question his integrity.

I don"t have doubts your records Darin
the quality of the Proboat products make me think that they have a lack of the respect for their consumers

If I am correct: remember Properchopper tried it. Don't hold me to it thought.

Thanks! I know mine is still running wet, but I got enough blow overs from this boat that I am relegating this boat as my recreational semi-slow-scale boat.
By the way, I am sponsoring two classes in the Arizona race on behalf of SoCal FE. Good luck my friend !

Awesome..are u going to be there??

[Darin Jordan]

I've experienced a good number of "roll-overs" as I tried to push her too hard through the turns in rough water, but rarely, if ever, have I "blown" it off.

Then, I'm only running P-Limited power systems, so that might be why.

Anything faster than a P-Limited system, however, can hardly be considered "slow" in my opinion...

I was poking fun at myself, I am having a great time using the ProBoat motors I bought from you. Yes, it doesn't run as fast as a 4082/2200kv, ( I got the boat from someone with a 4082/2200kv motor and was advised to use 6s and a x642 prop) , and that was without any work done on the ride pads! I will not elaborate my crash course learning curve after that start.
I can run all day just for fun with the proboat motor.
I posted here just to show my appreciation for your tutorial thread, it's been a fun learning experience and the more I read/run the more I have learned.
Thanks Darin!
