King Of Shaves C1 Brushless!

[Simon.O.]

A sleeve of 3/16 K&S tube will slide between a 3/16 ID prop and a 4mm smooth shaft.

It works for me, and no, I do not have a EKOS.
I just make my own hardware for all of my hulls and got to know how stuff works.

[NitroVal]

OSE sells a 4mm to 3/16" conversion sleeve. Fits like a glove.. Although Im probably gonna swap out these stock shafts soon. The threads on them are junk

[Drag Boat Bob]

NitroVal,

Did you cut the foam out of the hatch to make room for the GPS?

Also, I see that you changed the connectors to deans.

No more running for me, as Venom did not ship a replacement motor. When I called to check they had no record of my motor failure...

It has become a real nice looking dust collector however...

Several neighbors are still laughing after the maiden voyage.

[nomobux]

Don't ya just hate dust collectors. I have a bunch. Still waiting for the batts ( at least no smoke )

[NitroVal]

Yea, I took the foam out the second I got the boat. It was a pain in the ass trying to get the hatch on over all the wires, so I figured the more room the better. I have Deans connectors on all my R/C stuff. I love how they always have a tight connection. However I have never run them on something with such high amperage, so I dont know how well they will do when its time to upgrade.
Dont get discouraged man, its a fun boat when it runs.

[Brushless55]

I think its still saved on my GPS, but no, not one with the GPS in the boat. I can take one tomorrow though..

I'm confused!
no actual gps pics with the boat now there is?
so you just placed the gps in the boat after you made a run without the gps in the boat?

Not sure if I buy the speed of this twin on 3s

[NitroVal]

That about sums it up. You wanted a pic of the GPS in the boat so there ya go. If you dont believe it, it wont hurt my feelings. I know it goes that fast. Would it really be any different if I went out tomorrow, made the same speed runs and took another picture?

Actually it would with the video running!

[RCprince]

Nitro, don't take it personal...we just have a policy here that "seeing is believing" we've had so many charlatans on here with set ups that we know could not do what they claimed. Guys have even place the gps in their car and drive down the highway, then come back and place it in their boats and presto 'I've just did 50, see! my gps says so.So like I said it's not personal.

[NitroVal]

I understand, and I dont have a problem with it. The reason I havent done it yet is because of how long it takes me to get the damned hatch off, as well as making a video that is 10 minutes long of the same laps. It will do the 47mph, but probably only in the first minute of run time while the batteries are fully charged. I dont see the need to bring it in when there is still run time left on the batts and have to waste hatch tape to prove a point.
But if you really need it, so be it...

[Brushless55]

Odd, me as well as others love to spend the time and waste some tape and take the extra time to show the viewers the actual speed on the gps.. and it only takes a few minutes on video...
in other words, we love to show others just how fast our FEs go!

The Gps will record the highest speed.

Is anyone yet interested in swapping over two hydra 240's, two X445's, and two Neu 1515 1.5y 1500's set on 5s-6s? Then someone is going to be reporting some major high 60's or a Nice crash! I want to see this thing on some diffrent motor swaps..just curious tho, Im wondering how hard it would be to replace those motor mounts for some 540 mount's?

[Brushless55]

60's
That sounds more like upper 70's
and I love this video!

I've heard from venom, on another site that they won't fit. Only the 1115 will.
