Crossing the brand name line

My prediction..
Having the UL-1 powered Stiletto will be a combo to beat
I believe with the right prop this setup will be faster in the turns and faster down the straights, and I bet runtimes will not suffer.
The more I think about it the more I want one

My OB is polished to a mirror shine (Thanks HazeGry), My steering linkage is slightly modded to make hatch taping easier, I need to get down to business on the ride pad & OB mods before the motor gets here!

take pics when you get the outboard back on the boat danny I want to see how it looks.

I need 1/4" brass tube to do the OB mod (and a stuffing tube for the Z-27) Hobbytown is OUT and Debbies RC World is closed on Tuesday

[Diegoboy]

I can't believe my entire build process of 2 boats has come to a hault due to the lack of 1/4" brass tube...

That does suck! WTH!!?? Have you checked your local ACE hardware or ??? Our ACE and also McClendon's Hardware both stock the full array of K&S tubing...

[Diegoboy]

Thanks for the tip, I never checked in a hardware store

LOL
I hate when you are in a groove and some tiny little Monday detail stops the whole thing...
ACE does carry a good assortment of tubes, more then fricking Hobby People does... I buy from them all the time... not sure how the prices compare but the difference will be negligent....
I also do wanna see the polished lower end... Darin, I am surprised you have not done that!!! I know you have done it polishing to some fins and they look great...
I am not sure about the weight difference between the VS1 and the Sti... but I tell ya that the VS1 was a tad light with the UL1 motor on ... maybe this bit of extra weight is just what the Doc recommended...

[Diegoboy]

OK,
Here's the polished OB. Please keep in mind that it's not yet assembled...

are u going to clear coat it of polish it after every run? looks great but more work then i want to do on it lol

[Diegoboy]

Thanks Ron, I think it looks great too!

[hazegry]

You can clear it I have cleared brass I have polished and its held up well a quick buff with aluminum polish takes less than a min and will keep the ob looking good. Ron if you want it done you can pm me and we can talk about it. The process takes me a few days I dont have fancy equipment but it looks so much better polished up.

[ron1950]

thanks but i am good with it stock...i know they are strong as i hit a fish or turtle under the water today....knocked the angle of the motor to max positive angle but didnt even dent it at all.....boat flew up about 6 inches and kept going...

Here's a couple quick clips of the Stiletto with the UL-1 motor and grim racer 42x55 prop. Temps were good at around 90 on both esc and motor after 4 minutes. Finally a calm day to run.

Looks great!
