Hey everyone, my name is Ed and the is my first Attempt at a "completed" 1/8th Scale hydroplane. It is rigged with Speedmaster hardware, Scorpion 4035 800kv and a Castle 200HV esc. Prather 235 and a 240 prop to start out with I have a few Octura three blades to play with around the same size. soon she will have a Neu 1527 1.5Y swapped in soon to.

Great MISS BUD if you ever sell let me know very nice workmen ship

[edz586]

Thanks! I'll keep you in mind if I have to sell her lol. I spent lots of time looking at other peoples scale builds and other boats to get some good ideas.
I'm thinking of doing the 92 Winston Eagle, but not sure on the hull to buy. Thinking of getting a wood kit from ML Boat works or a Phil Thomas hull.

Very nice. Who makes the hull?

[edz586]

I don't know I found it on eBay a few years ago it's a real well made and pretty square hull it just need to be finnished and repaired.
The wings, salt scoop turbine tube and cowling are r/c boat company.

Do you have any pictures of the installed motor and hardware?

[edz586]

Thanks Dasboata!
yes here is what I have Can Take More Pics. I made the motor mount out of a stock sheet of 1/8" carbon and laminated it with west systems. its mde to be a quick change, four pan head Allens under the belly pan and four nut in the engine well, the the whole mount and motor comes out.
The Strut is Speedmaster 1/4" shaft with a 3/16 stub for the prop. Speedmaster rudder. No Idea on the turn fin, the mount is a chunk of aluminum angle and the skid fin is hooked and came with the hull, I run a Home made one like what was on the bud. (I didn't put on the turn buckles on but I made them)

What size is this Hydro? How does it run with the outrunner? Speeds? I have two 4035 800kv motors, and I am curious what size hydro they will push on 10s.

Runs real nice.don't have a mph for you but it seem real close to my nitro I had. Its an 1/8 scale hydroplane. Don't have the length to my mind at the moment but it was spot on to the Rodger Newton blue prints. I think Scorpion HK 4035 800 was one of the recommended motor for 1/8th scale competition I believe.
If you want to unload them I have a big Apache hull to put them to good use in.😉 Lol.
