Miss Geico 17 "brushed to INSANE 50MPH BRUSHLESS BOAT"

[Gabe_k]

I have a 17" coming in tomorrow, I was planning on switching out the electrics from my mini mono... my goal for this boat is to have a nice 25mph pool boat. eventually I plan on getting a nicer set up to hopfully put it in the 30's...

btw, I had a MG29 running on 6c and I dont think I was at 50.... and that thing wanted to flip like no other when I got to WFO

[Zackthrills]

50mph was just my goal but looking harder and harder

Anythings possible! Change it to a flex shaft and strut and youll get more speed/better handling. good luck

So how about 100 mph? Is that possible?

[Zackthrills]

Lol aww no earth you never told me where are what I did wrong with my friend so that way I know what to do please let me know thank you

[Heaving Earth]

Zach, mount your trim tabs so they are 1 or 2mm up from the bottom of the ride pads. Where you have them they won't even be in contact with the water.

If he wants to set a goal for 50 and try, who are you to tell him he cant? we both know mid 30's is probably all it has, so what? You're trying to act like the most bada$$ dude on this forum, its rc boating man, get a life

[Heaving Earth]

haha whose dick is stuck in your a$$? I know that this hull wont do 50... who gives a $hit?

Zack,

Have you run that 17 MG after these mods have gone in? I saw the you tube vid, but I gotta see that thing in the water. Since I have upgraded my 29 I still haven't been able to get her anywhere near top speed without her blowing over. Good thing your in FL with warm water since you'll be doing some swimming before that boat dreams of getting near 50. Haha!

I''ll be impressed if it runs in the 30's

[jetskier]

cut you losses and buy a Barbwire. lol!!

[Zackthrills]

Lol I just got the traxxas spartan. But Friday I'm ordering the Genisses catamaran. Wasn't someone to build it though

[Zackthrills]

Gyrotorn I did with the guy in the video did and I added a chance tab to the rear Rudder.and let me tell you I got the MG 17 to run like a bat outta hell I'm going to post a link but I'm really sorry it is a bad video but you can tell from the looks of just a little glimpse you get.I will post a daytime video soon as I can take one. I think I'm going to shock a lot of you on how fast this little boat goes.

Zackthrills,

It sure does look it is going strong. I'll be waiting on your daylight video. Don't forget to post some pics to see what you did. I checked out the hull at a loacl hobby shop a few days ago and I am thinking about moding one too.
