MRP Mr Pringles Hydroplane

And the interior

Ol' Girl didn't look bad with your set-up,moved along nice. A decent 4S set-up would wake it up for sure.If I'm not mistaken, the old Buds and Pringles had some add-on styrene ride pads you could install on the sponsons to sharpen the edges up a bit.Might be worth it if you want to put some time in the boat.I have an old Graupner Taifun on the shelf,almost makes me...............naaaahhhh

The boat is made out of styrene, get a little wind and more vibration with more power and the Stryene will stress crack. If you want to keep it stick to the 3S and go for a little more motor. Make the upgrades in hardware (strut) and that will help a lot.

AND that's my dilemma :) I would hate to break this hull, seems happy with the power now maybe a touch more, I am afraid the 4s will make it crack out much easier. Have any links/pics of mods you would do to pump this up a bit more on 3s. I have to say the prop now it runs super cool, so I could increase the prop size a bit, Im not even sure if this prop is a hydro prop

It would be a educated guess on the motor, a little larger in size and up the Kv a 1000. You will need a stronger ESC then too. Probably need to glue in some fiberglass rear of three inches of the sponsons up the inside and over the tunnel. Real hard to get to though. Don't know if it is really worth cutting the deck at the shoe box to remove the deck from the bottom. You diffidently would be able to reinforce the whole bottom then. A lot of care and careful cutting with a exacto separating disk. I then worry about safety using the cut off wheel, they can be real dangerous.

Oh and the corner of the canards would need help/reinforce too.

Mr Pringles is now Miss America, with a new 2000kv brushless, new strut, shaft setup, ride pads, battery in the nose etc. Moves even better now! 21105806_10213930059343672_6882373404472491153_n.jpg21106546_10213930060183693_8322807336954402737_n.jpg21149899_10213930059703681_5037355201905607341_n.jpg21149939_10213930057143617_3494053183925897658_n.jpg21151326_10213930059023664_2497676839093357187_n.jpg
