New mono in the fleet.

[Doug Smock]

Any chance of looking under the bonnet Doug...........curious on what your running . congrats on the 86mph

Hi Peter,
This one is still a virgin.
I ran a 22 series Neu with 10s 1p Hyperion 5000 45c cells and a 40.160 in the record boat. See pic.

Nice setup Doug (as usual). I noticed you're using the LIfe packs...notice any problems using them? Are you using the stock charging leads/ plugs? I have one ready for my P-Mono (Rico)....Just curious...

[Doug Smock]

Thanks Kent,
I soldered on a standard servo plug.
I like these packs for SAWs. For oval racing I'd opt for more capacity.

Wow more capacity than 850mah? Are you having to charge the pack back up after a couple of runs? I was hoping that would be plenty for racing (at least three heats). I bought another one today to have as a backup...I should be good now...

Thanks Doug!

Doug,

I hope you don't mind me asking, but which hull did you set the record with? The Speedcraft or the Seaducer? The last pic you showed looks a Seaducer in a different color than the Speedcraft at the beginning of the thread.

Hi Tyler,
Man I forgot all about this thread.
I set the record with the Seaducer. The Speedcraft hasn't been touched yet.

Thanks Doug,

So a 44" seaducer, 2230 1Y, older style 40.160, 10S1P 45C hyperions and I a reasonable prop to run 86mph average.

Yes sir. I'd tell ya the prop but you'd laugh and tell me to grow some. I'm working on a box of beryllium for Sept.
Baby steps, I want to break this boat slowly.
