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

[Zackthrills]

yeah that would be really cool to see once you get it done who is you need any help which I'm pretty sure you have it on your own but I can show you what I did to make mine keep in the water at a decent speed. If you look on this thread you will see a guy named roytorn not sure in spelling he posted a link to a video of a guy that made and ng17 and I have talked to him his name is Bob and he didn't have to add much weight or anything and got it to go really well I only did all the phone an extra stuff because I want to make it faster and see if I can get it up to 50 miles an hour. He said that he recorded his doing anywhere between 37 miles per hour to the max of 48 miles per hour. You can take a look at his video and see the boat let me know what you think. Do you live in this Florida area ore campus that maybe you and I can get together sometime?my problem was is I thought the little mg17 was brushless and at the time I really didn't know much about it and I saw it for $100 and went ahead and ordered it much to my surprise it was really slow on a brushed motor and try to do what I could to make it faster the only thing I can reference it to that I know of is it look like an RC car on a round oval track in a class called 6 cell modified not 1:10 scale but the one size below it the real small cars I want to say it 1:12 scale is that correct? but it looks really damn fast it was literally throwing water out the side of the pool and when I'm telling you it had more trigger to pull I didn't even have this thing halfway down so I don't really know how the boat is going to react too much more speed than that which I know it can do I'm running on a 3s battery pack 2200mah with a 45c rating:.

I would like to see pics of the bottom of the modified MG 17 hull to understand what that guy did to make it run so well and fast.

[Zackthrills]

yeah I'll take your picture of mine is the exact same thing that he did to his because the picture that he has if you look on his videos he has a video of it but it's really hard to tell because it is clear plastic mine is a white plastic but I'll tell you this my b*** was running as fast if not faster than that boat last night

[Zackthrills]

pm me your email so that way I can send you the pictures for some reason I don't know how to post pictures on here from my phone

this is the guy... as soon as he punches it it starts to hop... thats where the strust/flexshaft will out perform.. thats probably right around the 35mph area though. idk if it will ever hit 50 lol

Zack,

My email is [email protected]. I would like to see the pics/vids as well if to don't mind.

I'm still trying to tune my 29MG to stay in the water between 60-70 so I'm interested. Also I'm looking for small quick boat for my son. But I think I will get the barbwire for him. That little boat seems to be quick and best of all it self rites itself so that's the biggest plus. I've gone swimming way too much in freezing water for my MG. he even flipped it once while it was stock. He gunned the throttle heading into a strong wind and it blew over.

[Zackthrills]

I would go with the mini mono for your son move boat needs nothing

this is why i cant have nice things.. haha this was on 4s prob right around 40

[Zackthrills]

Omg what did you hit was that rocks out a jump. Lol that sucks. How bad was the boat hurt

[Speedracer128]

Gabe,

Haha!!! You are a mad man!

[Zackthrills]

That was funny lol

[Speedracer128]

Zack,

I will look into the mini mono. But I do like the barbwire. It's a good small boat and everything comes with it for under 150. If I pick that one, the only thing I will prolly do is put a metal prop. I grew up in miami but now I live in Massachusetts so needless to say the water is freezing to me. Last month it was literary frozen in some parts, so I think it's awesome that the barbwire is indestructible (maybe not for Gabe) but its sturdy, quick, and self rites its self. My son is still 4 so if he is in the 20-30mph range it's plenty fast

Zack,

I checked out some mini mono vids. It looks neat being so small but check out the link to the above boat. I think the atomik boat is much better built and faster. I might be wrong. I'm still kinda a newbie here so I still have lots learn but that's what it looks like to me. Most important is that my son is 4 so I need something he can beat on and that I don't have to go swimming for it

[Gabe_k]

Lol the hull was pretty messed up before that so I really didn't care about it anymore... That was like a 3-4ft waterfall type deal... I had been jumping down it all day(and landing it) I even went up it if you can believe that!! It was pretty awesome... So I figured it try and see how far I could get it to go! Ill post some pics of it when I get home tonight... The mini mono is a legit boat but I'd be sold on the barbwire if it self rights... That's perfect for your son, it will be flipped a lot I can imagine haha

[Zackthrills]

yes that is true that's why I kind of wanted to make this message I go into one a brushless motor one because I assume that it would be a little bit more stable it's funny because I can literally punch the gas on it from a dead stop and they will literally do want you out of the water its hilarious. Yet pictures would be great to see if you want you can send them to my email to
