AC Lazer with Lonewolfs Steerable outdrives

[srislash]

I got all but the Hatch paint done on this beast. It all started with Dave's(Lonewolf) outdrive that he custom made for me, A pair of Castle 3434 outrunner motors, a pair of customized Castle ICE2 200 amp controllers. Then I got my hands on an old gasser 40"AC Boats Lazer 40, cleaned it up and went to work.
I got a little punch happy with the throttle on the rough seas:

The turning is REAL good once I got the props going the right direction: OUTWARD rotation on a mono. It powers out of the corners nice but you certainly can get carried away with that.

And I am really impressed with the workmanship Dave.

Man that thing looks like it runs real nice! I've got some of Daves hardware for a big mono, top notch craftmanship for sure. I just got to figure out what hull I want to use it on, this time I'm gonna build a big go fast mono of some kind. That Kilmer hull I did was nice but it's not designed for 60-70mph and it's heavy, that thing ended up a little over 21lbs. RTR and it'll still run almost 70mph...

Lol, yeah, I have a 2028/mount and a 47" Delta Force packed away somewhere around here. I'll get to it, one day.

21lbs??? Holy carp. Should be able to shave 5-6 lbs off that though some of Keith's boat have had some weight to them.

Shawn,
Beautiful! That boat looks fast even on the stand, lol....
Love that transom shot!

Thanks Tim, glad that one is finished. Just some tuning.

So an update on this one. I blew an outrun er so replaced them with TP 4030's at 1180kv. I also changed collets to MBP and set them tight against the Aeromarine seals.
It took a bit but I got CG reset finally and now she is good. Since this vid I have made a parallel connector so both battery banks fire both ESC's. The motors are now in sinc! And I have on logs a nice 9min run and batteries at 3.72 volts. Pretty good I think, BRING ON YOUR GASSERS!!!
