Miss Geico emerges from the garage looking different

[Ripper]

After beating her up all last summer I decided it was time for a new look....What do you think?
stock motor,t-180, X642 running 5s. GPS'd at 44mph. How is that for this set up? Probably going to get
a leopard 4074-2200 or a 4082-2200 with a X645 on 5s. Any suggestions.
Love this boat she's always run great.
Wish I had a better shot of her at speed. videos to come soon I hope.

wow that is a great paint job......couldnt tell it was a MG if u didnt know what to look for.....

[Ripper]

thanks, my wife was glad to get it out of the garage. You can probably tell it was inspired by a simplified " Aqua-Mania"
Thanks again Ron. I really like the way it looks in the water idleing away.

Looks great,
Not sure on setup for that boat.
But a friend,Tunnelvision on hear is running a 6s setup with a 130amp HV Seaking not sure on motor,
But it runs nice and cool in the 90f in the 55 mph range.

That looks great Ripper.I run a CC 1515 2200 and 180 in mine, Miss Behavin".After a good flip in the air trying 5s with the 1515 I had to rebuild/paint mine.I have done 5s recently and as long as you just roll into the power it gets going.Otherwise it is all over.Oh yeah,I run either a X645 or M645.

thanks Srislash, Your Miss Behavin is also sweet. I hope the leapard motor works out 4074-2200 I'd like to get 55 to 60 mph out of her. I really don't think she should be going much faster than 60.

[srislash]

I found that these hulls like to become airplanes at 57mph.The tunnel is steep at the front which causes the nose to flip up.It will go but at that point any little wake...

Thanks Shawn , that's about the speed i figured it would go before Lift off. 60 tops
Keep in touch I'll let you know how the mods go.

Nice paint job

[HYDROJERRY]

Very pritty you should try tapeing a popsickle stick to the underside of the tunnel sideways, i used to do it on my hydros it cuts the air thats going threw the tunnel!!!

Hey Ripper, that's a nice paintjob on your Geico!!!! I found that my geico does mid 50's all day long and she seems to be on the edge of flipping.... I am running the same setup as Shawn's mis-behaven.... I think most people don't relize how fast 55 mph feels lime in a 29 inch hull... It's pretty fast. I have a 45 inch gasser that goes 78 mph and it feels slower than my geico at times!!!

I was out at a lake on Sunday and man,I needed the whole lake to get her going and sustain.It is hard to keep on top of it that far away.

Paint looks great man!
you may try a M645 on the setup you have now..

[Ripper]

Thanks Brushless. I'm still running the stock motor and thought an X645 was a little too much prop for that motor but maybe I'll try it anyway and if it blows up, so be it. I should have a 4082 by then ready to drop in. Yeah, I think I'll try the 645 just to see what happens.

M645..
The X might be to much for it?
Or even a M445 could work great..
