[b.mcdaniel.2009]

You sure love monos,dont you?

Ya, lately i have been on a mono kick LOL the catamaran's just cant handel the ruff water where i live. I already got that 33" mono up and running with a T-180 with a 1717 on 6s throwing a x650 prop. First test runs tomorrow! Hoping for 60+
I just have a few castle motor from the sell still laying around needing hulls.

x650? Dude that's a monster on a 33" hull! Have you ran it with a smaller prop yet?
I'm with you on the monos bro. I have messed around with cats and hydros but nothing gives me a rush like a big powerful mono going full out into the turns!

Brad, have you checked out Fighter cat's little 26" mono? Its a DF style hull and he is selling them really cheap right now. I have been trying to stay away from one since I am in the middle of two builds already but I get closer to picking one up each day.

No runs yet going to try tomorrow if the weather holds. Keith i run the same prop on my Genesis with the 1717 and she move's...but might start out with a m447 or a x645...What do ya think...

I had my DF after paint in the SS but nothing but low ball offers so i going to keep it and run the 5692 if it doesnt sell as well....Just need a hv esc as mine took a crap on me just trying to program it...Castle link says controler not responding, and no sound either....UHHH thats what i get for buying used.....

Post some pics of the 33" with that set up.Id like to see that if you dont mind.It should fly.I love over powered boats.Im wanting a 34" insane mono,or a Pirate.I need to finish my triple cat and Phil Thomas hydro 1st though.

[LarrysDrifter]

At least you didnt pay retail for the esc.Seems like nothing is selling in the SS right now.Ive dropped prices on a couple of my things and no bites yet.

[b.mcdaniel.2009]

Here's a few....Kinda took you hard pipe idea and put my only spin to it....After a few runs tomorrow its heading to my buddy body shop for custom paint!

Ya tell me about it! Castle fee for fixing it is like $270

[LarrysDrifter]

Wow.Looks good.That motor barely fits.Post results when you can.

A couple things with that x650:

1) You are going to be pulling a TON of current. You may have gotten away with it before, but that doesnt mean you weren't operating way above the limits of that esc. Put it this way: The 4082 I sold you a while back was 1600kv, almost teh same as your 1580kv 1717. With a s225 (46.7 x 1.5 pitch) it pulled 209A. The x650 is not only bigger, but has more pitch. I would have to think that setup would be capable of pulling 250A+

2) You are most likely going to flip that boat with that prop. I'm not sure if you had trouble keeping your genesis in the water or not with that prop, but I would think you would have.

I would try the m447 and see how it goes. If you want a little more prop, try the x645. Make sure they are absolutely sharp for the most speed, and if its still not fast enough try having someone put some cup into your props.

Either way, get some video. I have made some pretty cool runs doing things that everyone else said wouldn't work so theres no reason you cant too. I could be completely wrong, just telling you what my thoughts are.

Yep had problems keeping the Genesis on the water! It tamed down a tad with a X450...but that may be large as well...

[b.mcdaniel.2009]

I found that odd too...I figured someone must carry them that I dont know about.
Brad I just order two of the "Bling rocket" hulls from fighter cat to do a father and son build with my boy. He's got a really good price on those right now...you should check into them.

Going to wait to see if i have to contact pay-pal

[Basstronics]

I got a 25" posted in the swap shop. If your interested shoot me an offer. Im on the fence with selling it or not.

[b.mcdaniel.2009]

Where the heck can you get copy hull......?????

[Raydee]

I have a 33" mono with all Speedmaster hardware that I want to sell. The only reason I still have it is because last time I shipped a hull I lost my butt off on shipping.
