Guys.. I am looking for some informed opinions here. I have an electric outrigger hydro, about B-Hydro size (weighs 3Kg). It has a tracking issue. With the current turn fin in place, when I throttle up, it pulls badly into the course (to the right). Now if I remove the turn fin, and do some...

also watching this thread, about to start my 33" (probably do the 29" at the same time). Want to go 6S, but have a 4S option. thanks for the continuing info guys... it's gold!

we don't have lap penalties, just points for cuts. So race distance is always 5 laps + the out lap. I am pretty sure that if we ran similar with lap penalties, we would be looking at larger capacity in the packs. I too would be interested in seeing some logged results from some of your heat...

Paul, Do you guys run the NAMBA course? And how many laps? Just trying to get a feel for why the race time goes to 2:30.

I agree guys... wake up to yourselves. That includes all... Australian and US. Stop acting like a bunch of spoiled children. It would be better if this whole thread was deleted. Tony Jones

looking good Jay! I particularly like the clever servo tray/strut mounting. You do nice work. Should run as well as it looks. I haven't gotten any further with mine, other than the painting of the hull. But time to get my finger out and get moving on it methinks. :rolleyes:

Thanks Tim... Well Done on the CD front over the weekend mate. Um... Boat ran well at the Winter Spectacular in Sydney, but changed prop in the last heat and puffed my TP 5000X LiPo. Temp was about 77 degrees Celcius. Best run was with H5 and batts came out about 55 celcius, took back 3000mAHr...

Paul.. good to hear she goes well. What prop were you running in the larger setup? Need some video now mate :)

lol... and I was about to ring you too! well... I'll let you get on instead!!

Kit prices Paul? And what options are available? ps.. just checke the new site out, needs a little work buddy :) stop building them **** boats and go get geeking!!!

Raydee.... Paul makes a nice Hull (Taipan). Video here of my 6S hydro running in rough water, hardly on full noise. http://rapidshare.com/files/46480924/EBHydro_movie.wmv.html it's getting there... bit more development to come.

anyone know where I can source CF mat in Aus online? thanks

check out this thread... might help you a bit? http://www.intlwaters.com/index.php?showtopic=20067

just got to fix a little damage after the boat dunked wneh duking it out in the 3rd heat. Only boom tubes and right sponson... time for some design mods... a work in progress

Ran today with Radar Gun..... 69 mph, consistent. This is running as-built, have not made any adjustments yet. I really believe that 75 is acheivable in an oval race trim. But had a blowover and damaged the cowling, so put an end to testing. I really need to make a plug and layup a fibreglass...

they are quite impressive Scott... Andrew's 1/8 Scale was great... And I definately drew some comments when I ran my first 6S rigger in NZ....

Scott, tub is 110mm wide (but could be narrower). I will definately be entering this one at the Winter Spectacular... looking forward to seeing some of the others that are supposed to be being built.

Guys... latest photos... all ready to rock. Just waiting on some decent weather now... http://www.ampba.asn.au/Coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=67

I will do datalogging when I get a chance to go and do some serious testing. I think the V-series prop that I have is a V937, so yep, can try that as well. will probably be looking to about 115-120A draw for the boat final racing setup.

Jason... will try a few of those props you mentioned. I only have a H5 and a H10 at the moment (plus 642, 645, V9??). Mainly have larger nitro props. The H4 and the H2 sound interesting.
