MRP Mr Pringles Hydroplane

[CWBETB]

Here is my old MRP Mr Pringles I built, it uses a 1800kv motor from the Aquacraft Wildcat, with a 50amp esc and runs on 3s. Best mph so far has been 35 mph. Possibly upgrading to a better esc in the future to run 4s. Boat is very stable and runs like a champ. Thanks for looking!

Cool, I have a Bud hull up in the attic in good shape. 35 is pretty good and I don't know how it would be beyond that. That would be the top end of design limits.

When I started I used to have one of those and believe it was a twin electric.
Batterys' weren't what they are now and put a OS 21 side exhaust in it for fun mostly.
It handled it very well until I hit a turtle and the rest was history.
Brings back memories!! What a Fun Boat!!

Thanks all. I tried to run this boat with 2 brushed titans and a traxxas evx2, but had nothing but issues. Boat was too heavy to get up on plan easy and didnt handle well at all. I scratched the original idea and went brushless with lipos. The weight saving alone made a huge difference.

I thought 35mph was pretty good also, I would say it can handle more (40's), though Im not sure if the plastic can handle much like mentioned above, would be afraid it might crack it. I really like the mrp products shame they went under

Nice, good to see the ole girl running. Running great too, mind if I send this to my bud that still has his Miss Bud from way back?

[CWBETB]

Sure thing! If he has any setup suggestions I am all ears. Though Im limited to prop at this time. Not sure how much more can pull out of this on 3s

I want to see it on 4S...it rides nice and flat right now.

Nice work. I still have an old Miss Pringles with the stock 2 motor setup. Pulled it out a few weeks back to contemplate getting it running again. It is missing the drivers canopy but the rest still looks good. Even found the decal sheet.

Nice! If I found a Miss Bud I would pick it up asap! :)

Please do! The one I am interested in has the flares in the rear little different then the Pringles hull. Like this one

Nice! I used to have the MRP Miss Bud. If I were you I would buy a AC UL-1 esc motor combo and 4S and an H-7 prop (may need a UL-1 turn fin instead of the stock MRP one)...Should see speeds closer to 50!!

Here are some pics. It has been painted, water cooling added and a Octura rudder setup but the hull is sound.
