Afternoon With The Mono's

[srislash]

I got an early day and the sun was shining in Vancouver. Dogs in daycare meant free time for Shawn
So I charged up my 4s packs and packed up the AC twin and the R&S Pursuit monos.
The AC Boats Lazer 40 runs twin Castle 3434 outrunners on 8s and a completely custom(by Lonewolf) steerable outdrive unit pushing 442 props
The Pursuit runs a Castle 1515 on 4s pushing a PropShop 4514/3 blade prop

Yup, the first boat running is her. All good so far. May need to shim the drive pivots a hair as there is slight up/down play.

What a fantastic running boat, I love the video, any chance we can see the steerable out drives? And as said, it is propelled by out runners?

Yes it has twin Castle outrunners. I got them some time back from Ben at FighterCat.



I really like how it can power out of a corner with the steerable drives.



With the props spinning inward it was spinning out though. Dave did a awesome job on these and so far water lubrication is working for the prop shafts which is great because as you can see, there is no seal.
I have those bushings on the propshaft end because I wanted to leave room for other props that may have longer hubs such as ABC.

Awesome, thanks for the pictures! Yeah, that custom out drive looks trick! Love a twin mono with steerable out drive no less. All the plumbings and the servo connections are ingenious!

They are 1100 kv Chris. I still have a bit of hop in her and I fear that I have the drives too deep in the water. I gotta get some more time on it. Just glad I was finally able to finish paint on it. Boy, who woulda thought matching up an old white paint job would be so tough to match.
