    TFL Ariane CF and FG hulls

    These are pics of the TFL Ariane 36.3" Mono in Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass for any of you who are thinking about buying one. After getting some run time on mine and getting it dialed in it's turning out to be a really nice running boat.分解图.jpg参数图.jpg右侧.jpg外形.jpg左侧.jpg

      I'm glad to say that the one I ordered a few weeks ago was posted on the twelfth. I don't think it will be here before Christmas though.
      I've always loved the look of this one.

      Thanks Monica.

              WooHoo!! mine arrived yesterday (Christmas Eve).

              I will be running it on 6s, but I set it up last night with a TFL 4092 2100kv motor for 4s running. Just for a bit of fun over the holidays.

              Thanks Monica. It did make it for Christmas.

                That's great!! You're gonna really like this boat! The only thing that you will need to do is put bigger turn fins on it if you're going to race it on a oval course.

                  Thanks.
                  That was one of my first thoughts when I unpacked it. Our race lake gets pretty windy & choppy, so that will happen when we go testing on 6s up there in the new year.

                    Hello 785. Does your boat have the TFL hardware (two part flex shaft, teflon insert etc?) and if so, do you think it will withstand 6S? On 6S, what motor are you planning to use?

                      Mine has the 3/16 two piece shaft and I'm running 6s, so far so good. Just lube it after every time out and you shouldn't have any problem.

                        Kendrid.
                        No. Mine came with the welded shaft. You just have to specify that with your order with TFL.
                        I had discussions with May at TFL some months ago pointing out that most people would prefer welded shafts in all their boats. Stressing the point that the greasing of the shaft is easier & didn't upset the fine adjustments of struts & stingers. Their managers response was , understandably, that a broken shaft or weld would result in a lost prop. That's why they developed the two part system some years ago. But, within a week or so I had an Email back from May at TFL, stating that they would now offer the welded shafts. Magic. The ones I've received in boats so far have been straight & true & of good quality.

                        I don't know if the two part ones will take the stress of a 6s setup. Never tried it, so I can't comment accurately on that. But 'flraptor07' has it working for him. I'm sure he will let us know if it fails.


                        The motor I will be trying on 6s is the one that I raced in the 41" Osprey this year. A TP Power 4092 1350kv,


                        Cheers.

                          Flraptor07.
                          You were right. I do love it.
                          The first run was very wet I had to get the battery right back to the motor where the ESC should be & it was still nose heavy. But with a bit of positive strut adjustment & raising the tabs & turn fins it lifted the nose & got some air under it. I don't know what the weight of a 6s pack will do. We'll see in the new year.
                          My hull does have a slight hook in the last 6" or so of the hull but at least it's even on both sides. Does anyone else have the same?
                          I found it to be extremely stable in the turns at full noise, on our tight little track at Boondall. Should be great on our race track at Lakeside Raceway.

                          So here's a couple of pics & A video of the latest addition to the Wet Track Racing fleet on its third run yesterday.

                          Cheers.
                          Paul.

                            Thanks for the video Paul !
                            I have seen these several months ago at Hobbyking and thought it could be a cool hull to replace my DF33
