Diesel's Stiletto

[ron1950]

i found that once u find the sweet spot on the motor angle it got alot easyer to drive

Thanks for posting that vid Ron.... Boat looks GREAT on the water.


My question is what/where is the first step in trimming this thing? Start with the angle first or the depth first or play with the CG first? I guess it prob comes down to how the boat is acting on the water then take action from that point (If that's the case I answered my own question), but I would like to hear from the Stiletto guru's on this. Also my plan is running a single 4s pack fully forward. OK/Bad Idea?!? Once again Guru's advise is always welcomed!

here is your boat deisel on stock motor and 4cell ...i think the motor had too much neg angle on it as bow seemed to stay down and spun out easly but still fun......

Hey thats at my house, wrong state Ron.

Boat looks good D. Cant wait to see it run. Its been blowin like mad here as well, but for what its worth, I havent splashed a boat in 2 months anyway... or whenever Ron1950 was last down.

I've been running mine with a 4s all the way forward, motor all the way up and a few degrees positive. Heavy Modded 42 x 55 prop and a UL1 motor.. Handles great in flat water but have never had it in race conditions. Boat feels great set up like this.

Believe it or not Ron I haven't had a chance to run it yet. The wind here the last few weeks has been terrible and I was running other boats. Still not test run on her yet.

I may actually need to sell this thing before I even run it. Got to many boats in the fleet right now and have another 2 on the way in the next few weeks/months.

I guess I will list it and see what happens. Not to happy about it, but we all have needed to unload hulls before.
