    Diesel's Stiletto

    Picked this up used from Ron. I digged the decals he put on. Really look nice on this hull. I just finished everything up tonight. Here's the setup.

    Motor: CC1512 1.5y 1800kv
    Esc: Seaking 120
    Servo: stock
    Rx: Mr3000
    Batts: 4s1p either 5000mah 40c-50c or 6000mah 25-50c
    Prop: I think I will try a m445 to start

    I never ran a tunnel hull before so kinda nervous on this one. I didn't know exactly where to set the outboard depth and angle so I set a neutral angle and set the prop shaft in the middle of the sponsons to start. If that's not good maybe a tunnel guy can chime in on that one. I modded the outboard cover so the 1512 could fit in I also epoxyed in a terminal block in the hull. Motor plugs in on one side motor on the other side looks kinda cool IMO.

    I seen after I took the photo the cooling line was tight on the bottom of the esc so it's got extra room now and I swang the outboard full right and full left and everything looked good and wasn't tight.

                              the ps295 is very easy to drive and flys for sure...the stiletto is a little more tempermental and u have to really watch it on the corners.....let off just before the corner and then come back on the power u will get used to it...that boat never looked better lol dont forget the vid camera

                                      Don't feel bad... I've been upside down about EVERY time I have it on the water! Still haven't quite gotten this thing figured out.

                                      I think it might be time for a thread dedicated to the setup specs for everyone out there running this boat. Let us know what works for you!

                                              Thanks for the comments guys... I wish I would have had a chance to run it last few days but the winds here in NC have been crazy. Maybe this sunday will be better. I been thinking of just buying a single 4s 5000mah 40c lipo. I had one and sold it I shouldnt have done that, but anyway I think a single 4s I might like better then 2 2s in the hull. I will def make sure the batts on the rescue boat is charged up real good before I test this thing lol. Looks like I might end up upside down a lot. lol
