Hey Jay thanks for the great response, I thought because the hull was originally designed for O/B the varing rear sponson depths were designed to offset the combination O/B moment arm/prop torque. When i set it up on 4S-5S lipo for inboard surface drive do you think the rear sponson design will...
Its been a while since i set one of these up. I aquired a vintage 32" K&B O/B semi-scale canard hull(similiar to one in pic). I'm thinking of running it as an inboard with surface drive to compete with some local Sport 40's.
Some questions......
Is this hull legal for NAMBA / IMPBA competion...
I've got some higher C cells going in the Piston boat(Vegas), the Sled is going down next time out. LOL (Hey Mike, your always welcome to draft me)LOL
Man UL1s were everywhere, i was seeing double, tripple, quads was getting real scary! :D
For electric RTRs its MMEU (http://mmeu.com/events.htm) we run at Ford Field Park in Shelby Mi. ( UL1, SV27, Blackjack) etc
For nitro/gas its Metro Marine Modelers same location every Tues afternoon/eve (Miss Vegas etc)
You need (2) 7.4v 2S packs in series or one 14.4 4S pack, both would equal 14.4v

That HK motor has to much kv you want to run about 30K no load with translates into a 1800-2000 kv motor.
Use one of the motors we suggested you won't be disappointed.

Mike don't worry about the Turbine Tank ! Knowing Terry he'll keep proping it up til it coughs a rotor.
ITs my boat you guys should be concerned about! Tested this old R/R S/S prop i found in my box today, Holy crap!
LOL
No escs don't need to be cooled but they need to be water-resistant.
We run run these at full thorottle for 5 laps on the nitro oval, 3 heats per event. ESCs run more efficiently at full, if your in and out of the thorottle then they will get hot. They only use about 2000-2500 mah per run so...
If i recall the old DPI T-Plus is a fairly large hull very similar in size to Miss Vegas.
This season I'll be running a FE converted Miss Vegas in our MMEU club LSSH Spec class ( http://mmeu.com/events.htm ).
It will do 40mph no problem with Pro Boat Black Jack 26 brushless motor, 80 amp esc...
Sorry Jay i need to chime on this one also.
you said `Castle says don't run high amp setups on 1P with their controllers'. WTF! Why bother with their crap! LOL
I ran a 2215/240HV 10S1P setup in Team USA all last summer, decided to try it on 2P and the controller blew on the first 2P run. Go...
Yep, good luck Ed hey theres always Camp Dearborn or the old Memphis Buoy Blasters pond.
The FE guys hope to be running most of of MMEU Points Series races (http://mmeu.com/events.htm) at the Ford Park pond in Shelby again this season with a few in Memphis also.
Keep us informed we had fun at...
I always went with the theory you don't want the rudder fighting to turn near (or in) the same trowel left by the the turn fin, thats why my record setting 8ths stay opposite. ;)
