dude!! this vid is in my favorites !! i love this clip... think his cg was too far back?? i do.. fast scale boat! brushed motor too ,,

[Rumdog]

You can see in the slo mo that the wind picks up. As soon as he hits the ripples, that bad boy lifts right off!

[wolf IV]

clearly too!! and look at that great big lake all to himself!!! not fair!!!

[rchippie]

I wish i could afford that hull,i would convert it to electric .

I think your right on about with the cg.
If you look at 34seconds into the video you can clearly see the hull lift about 2" out of the water, and only the prop and turn fin are in the water

[wolf IV]

yeah i saw that, Ive analized the video 50 times or so... im definantly going electric as i own ( ONLY) have fe boats but only due to the noise........

[wolf IV]

i wish you could too

[rchippie]

i wish you could too

I did send you a pm the other day with a offer . But i never heard back . what do you think it would cost to convert this ?.

not much in cost as the hull is emty. it only needs to be water tight ( your ingenuity) and ballast the front for correct cg.. their really is no conversion. Hey im really sorry for not responding!!! i need to fund the build for the other hydro w/ the sell of this one. Ive got 7 lookers on the sell as of now..

No problem good luck with you sale .

so you are sayin you got a little more space in the hull than the 1/12th scale version? gorgeous... I hear ya about room on your workbench, just wait until we move into a real house with a 2 car garage AND a shop!

oh man then its all over yeah, pretty good space in these!

[rchippie]

What would you run for lipo's in this size boat 4's, 6's or 8's of higher ?.

[calcagno45]

10-12s most likely.

[rchippie]

10-12s most likely.

i thought 6s & maybe a 1515-1y castle/neu .

[Jesse J]

you probably wouldn't get much more than scale speeds with that set up

[rchippie]

you probably wouldn't get much more than scale speeds with that set up

what would scale speeds be in your opinion ?.

[Rumdog]

The 1515 is much too small of a motor for this hull. I would run the littlescreamers outrunner on 10 or 12s, it will fly!

That would scream!

[rchippie]

If i could get decent speed out of a 6s setup . I would be real interested in this .

[wolf IV]

I dont think so! I was even wondering if my 1527 1y would push her on 8s, hints the "hi-model 200 " thread i started. Most likely will go for a 2215 1.5 or 1y on 8s or 2y on 12 s with the m-2000. I think i like the last set up the best ..?

Thats a bummer i guess i will have to go with the 1/12 scale version . That hull just looks so bad a## .

Im not sure what speeds you want but when they said scale speed thats like 20 mph on the set up you mentioned. This is alot of hull!! Advantages and disadvantages. Smaller= $cheaper but harder to work inside. Kinda like the dif. Between working on a honda accord and a peterbuilt. Ive done both for several years and they both have tgood and bad things...

what kind of setup would it take to get around 30 -35 mph ?.

[wolf IV]

You got me bud? Ive yet to build a boat this size.i would think the 1527 1y on 6s would get you there.. But someone else with more experience with the larger hulls will know more. I like pushing the limits so light set ups arent my specialty :)
