Your MG that started off as a hull

[tagasagwan]

The Grim 3 blade that I use for my aquacraft sv27 is a nice prop and almost like the x440/3 but with a lower pitch. The x440/3 is a bit more agressive.

Mine was a 40 x 57 or does that say 67.I will tell you that it needed alot of work.It went ok.I need to move the strut up for the 1818 and have a radar gun.

Talking about props.........

What prop size you guys recommend for the T600 1400kv on 6s pushing a 40" cig boat? Would a 46mm be adequate?

I'm running either a X646 or M648 in the 35" with the 1717,if that helps.

Thanks Shawn! I have a 46mm and 47mm, but dunno if I have a 48mm.

I just finished re-installing the electronics in MG, so she's good to go ............. and if Im lucky maybe I could maiden the 40" Cig boat this coming Sunday. No details, no paint ..........
While Im waiting for my worker to finish the layup on the first product, I'll check both the hardware and electronics needed for the build to speed things up!

Nice looks about done,,, lets see some vids,,how come i never see you guys using Leopard motors..

[macdon]

Thanks Jerry! Will try and get a vid of it by Sunday. If I didnt have that CC1515 sitting in my spare bin, I probably could've used a Leo.

Yo guys - with my typical FE boats, rudder is about 1.5" offset to the right from centerline. Gas boats are about 2.5"
Any advice for a 40" boat? 1.75" - 2" perhaps?

In your MG, place your jacket at the center of the motor. There's nothing in front and at the back of the motor rather than free space. The windings are at the center and that's what produces heat.

40" Cigarette Boat Done!!

Just sharing some pics of the newly pulled 40" Cig boat.

[macdon]

Just trying to see how the 3 drivers look on the boat. I also taped the spoiler of the SW gasser. I think its a bit tall - but could be adjusted after molding.

The last pic is how I dry fitted the electrics to achieve the 30% CG. Thats 12" from transom.
It just looks weird having most of them almost in the center of the boat leaving the rudder servo all alone near the transom. Hahaha!

[HYDROJERRY]

thats bad ass,, looks like someone cut off your drivers heads, not going to run too well like that,hahaha,,, Im thinking white with some electric blue stripes down the sides going from thin to thick at the rear. M ake it like a real boat!!!

Hahaha - yup, headless drivers! The molds for the heads are separate, but just needed the bodies for measurement/positioning purposes. Electric blue stripes?
Hopefully I could find a good paint theme after the maiden on Sunday :)

I really want to see how the T-600 pushes it. BTW That looks great Mardon.I'm getting excited.

You and the rest of my club! haha! I got some phone calls asking me if I would maiden the cig boat this sunday! If the T-600 cant push it, I could always convert the cig boat to a tugboat instead! hahaha!

Shawn - whats your thoughts on the spoiler? Too tall?

[jasoncyclone]

Mardon, I think the boat looks great!!!! One of the nicest looking cigs that i have seen!!!!

Hey shawn, do you think that 2 cc1717 would move a 41 inch cat pretty well??? Just thinking of my next project. Did you get me last pm about your paypal???

[tagasagwan]

Hi Jason,

Could you give Mac the tracking number coz PObox is asking him so they may enter it in their system. Thanks buddy!
