32" Wild Thing mono 70+ mph

[Bande1]

I broke my speed record today, reaching 116km/h.

I also tried my new rudder setup with great success. Cornering improved by using a longer rudder bracket and a wider rudder blade.

Here's today's video of the testing and tuning:

dang it didnt take much to make it stick on the water better. curious as to where was the stinger angle?

[Dirk Jan]

You're right, the rudder position behind the prop and the trim tabs a hair down, did the trick.
The stinger is horizontal / zero degrees.

going fast is the easy part. making the boat stay on the water is a whole 'nother thing!!!

I got a new speed record this week. I also ran short laps and I put it in the video below:

that is astounding the motor wasnt hot on a 45mm 1.9 prop. but obviously it wasnt spooling up as much either. is the esc hot?

a buddy at the club with very high end gear (brings an enclosed trailer full of boats) was showing me all his spare motors for comparison. he had rockets, TP, leopard, NEU. You can see a huge difference in TP motor windings over rocket motors. The TP has double the size wire and you can hardly turn them over by hand. Id be very curious to see if you'd do better with one of the TP CM series motors with higher KV on 6s. such as this 3200kv 4050 (40mm x 83mm)https://www.tppowerusa.com/index.php...product_id=448

its has double the peak amps as rocket 4070 so should spin the same props but at insanely high RPM (for 10 seconds).

or this one lower KV but 7500w peak https://www.tppowerusa.com/index.php...product_id=527

I really like the TP motors and I plan to try one in the Wild Thing. The one you linked is really for SAW running and extremely high rpm. It is possible, but it is not for me, as I also like running ovals.

I'm looking for a 2200-2350kV setup on 6S. That could possibly get me to 80mph or 132km/h. But I might need an esc upgrade as well.
I currently run a $56 motor with $53 esc. Price performance wise, you cannot beat that!

[Dirk Jan]

This week I beat my speed record and got to 77mph (123km/h).

Running 6S on 2000kV. Holding up great, ran at least 20 packs with that setup in this boat.

awesome cozy sucks about the damage though! In another thread a guy told us how junky rocket motors are so I linked your video.

[Dirk Jan]

Unfortunately, I crashed and totaled this boat last week [emoji25]

That's the risk when pushing your boat to the limit..

I made a setup compilation video. It covers speed running setups, as well as oval running setups. It might be helpful if you're looking for a setup on a 32" mono:
