Mini V is a Awesome Little Boat!!

[Diegoboy]

I just ran mine with the ammo 28-45-2700 brushless, 11.1v lipo, x623 prop, and flex shaft mod. the torque @ full throttle seems to twist the boat to lean to one side. I pulled the brushless out, ran her again with stock elect. 11.1 lipo, still leans from the torque.
any thoughts...?

move the batt to one side of the hull to counteract the tourque?

try a x 430 x432 prop.

With the a x431 plastic, 3s and stock motor, my boat didn't twist at all. It did jump totally out of the water every few feet. The drive angle is just not made for such power.

That purple pro boat prop for the 1/12 hydro. Is that one the x431?

[Steven Vaccaro]

the one i used was orange

i just bought one and love it, but i have a stupid question. what is the capacity of the stock battery? i need to know so i can charge it with my AC/DC charger.

[Steven Vaccaro]

I think the stock batt is around 1000mah. There are no specs on it from ProBoat.

ok thanks thast what i was thinking. i ran it yesterday at work and it is so much fun in water with a moderate chop to it. best $100 ever spent

Also I ran the boats yesterday. A bone stock mini v against a mini v with a x431 plastic and flex system. The flex system boat is easily faster. Faster take off, faster top end.

That prop is a Y534.

[Rex R]

I've got a y531 thats purple too.

steve where did you get the turn fins?? did you make them and if so how hard is it to make them.

[sidv13]

the stock battery is probably the same as the losi mini-t battery which is 1100 mah. just a guess seeing that they used the losi reciever/ESC in the boat they probably used their battery also

Okay, so I went to the hobby shop today and purchased all the things to construct a flex system, however, I need a little instruction as I am new to boats. I read the tutorial here, but it does not seem to tell me what to do with the teflon lining and brass tubing, etc.

Let me know what I have to do. I also couldn't find adequate glue at the hobby store. I have Industrial Strength 43TL HV Loctite, not sure if that'll do the trick, I mainly use it for screws. I was thinking maybe Gorilla glue? Also dug up some Epoxy 2K, and Silicon Epoxy. Anyways, if not I'll make a trip to the hardware store later on.

I also scored one heck of a deal on a Neu 1105/3Y, and seeing as I have no other application to put it in, this will have it for a bit.
