Stiletto Race Prep

[AndyKunz]

Depends on the hull. You get what the picture shows. Usually that means all the glass parts, plus what is needed that's actually part of the hull.

andy still not pics on your site of stiletto parts etc...any idea if i have to order a couple of packs of boots?

[AndyKunz]

My Stiletto came w/o boots. It was hull, center section, and radio box lid.

thanks andy

thanks andy

One thing I was thinking about on this boat is actually getting rid of the rubber boots, especially around the steering cables, and using teflon tubing inside of aluminum or brass there instead, then running the teflon/nylon tubing the whole length of the cable... More like they do on the VS-1. I think this would give better clearance around the battery cover, and would also look cleaner, and likely be easier to seal. Just haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

replacement hull

andy, got my new hull today and set it up as best i can without the boots.....heres what the bare hull includes 1) bare hull with decals applied! thats it......i was most disapointed with the fact that it has a drain hole in it but no rubber gasket or drain plug......come on for 138 dollars at least give a guy a water tight hull.....also no battery cover or reciver cover but i did have those from wrecked boat....u know how hard it is to get the old drain plug rubber gasket out without wrecking it? lol.....now i may be all wet here (pun intended) but i would think it could have been a little more generious ...just my 2 cents

I'm not to sure why you guys are finding the boat slow? While mine is not a bullet I had no problems playing with a 40" cat last saturday which runs leopard 40mm power on 4s.

What I have I done to mine?
After it torpedoed a larger gas boat that decided to turn left in front of me I block sanded the bottom of sponsons apart from the repairs that I did.

I got rid of the sheer pin on the drive dog & tapped it, added grub screw & filed a flat spot on the prop shaft...It now has a small amount of play but is much more free. & I am able to now pull the stub apart for maintenance.

I run a grim three blade 40/53

I have set my motor height at 88.5mm (boat set on stand & measure from setup bench to base of cav plate)

Motor angle is set at 12.5mm from center of adjust bolt (bottom for motor trim) to edge of motor mount.

The boat now is a dream to drive & does not hook in the turns.

Ron,

Drain plugs are PRB4004 - $2.99.

Personally, I think the hull package for $135 is a pretty good deal.

[ron1950]

ya then why is it 122.oo on the net? and your free shipping that is 13.95 handling? id say i got taken lol

[Rumdog]

I'd say if you're that worried about a few bucks, then maybe you should be more frugal shopper.

[ron1950]

u got that right...i always find the deal after i buy retail lol.. i was just looking to see where he parked his goat anyway lol

Motor angle is set at 12.5mm from center of adjust bolt (bottom for motor trim) to edge of motor mount.

That sounds almost straight, do you mind posting a picture from the side? Mine is probably not setup correctly then:

95mm for the table to the bottom of the cav plate, measured at the back of the plate

26mm from the motor mount plate to the center of the lower trim bolt.

Which means that it's probably too high and too much positive angle. I do mount both batteries in front, which batts are you using (weight?) and how do you position them?

[ron1950]

i got about the same measurements and the motor is very close to stright
