Ray... Paul is building a new bigger version for this power system... he makes nice boats too!

welll...it runs. just did the one quick run today after the racing was over. Seems to have a pretty good turn of speed (lots of potential here), but the turn fin kept lifting the right sponson. Design change required here. But all in all, I am a very happy camper!! :lol: :lol: :lol: no...

Jim, gets wet tomorrow hopefully.... weather permitting (pouring down at the moment). It's a club race day, so will probably just consist of a few laps, not major sorting out. Jason... the power system should be equivalent to a B-Hydro, but the weight is a little higher. I think this...

as the guy that ran the TREX motor in an El-Lobo, performance was interesting, but ultimately the experiment failed. The motor got too hot when pushing the performance envelope. The boat ran much harder when I used the 6S TP5000X packs over the EWatts 4400 packs. Very surprised that the...

nope.. not a firefighter... own design. I am got the sponsons off a G3 WideBoy Kookaburra, but the Tub is purely mine. Dimensions... 40" long 20" wide Hoping for about 2.9-3.2Kg finished.

thanks Jim, was hoping for a test on Monday, but work has gotten in the way again...

what do you think of it Paul? um.... new boat, not sure what you mean?

Here's the new boat.... 2.5 Kg with ESC, shaft, prop,turn fin, radio and cowl to fit. what do you guys think?

Scott, ta mate, I have actually been in contact with Ron regarding the seaducers and he has provided some really useful advice. Yep, agree with you about the single pack of 6S thing, I will have to do a re-design for my layout (don't want to split my packs up). But this will all happen after...

Kris, have you run that one yet? if so, what setup (batts/motor/esc) did you use? ta.... Tony

guys.... play nice..... :ph34r: I have received some very useful information so far, thank you to those concerned... Anyone else got pics of their setups?

Jim, new boat under construction as we speak.... should be a beauty... the old boat - yep, eliminated the hopping and it went well. Just needed more speed...

forgot to say that it will probably be a Neu powered boat with TP packs (6S5000X)

Hey guys... anyone got any pics of how they have setup a seaducer 33" hull (electric of course)? I have just got mine and am planning a 6S setup for it... links would be cool as well. ta... Tony

Terry, yeah mate, it was a good weekend. Thanks to the Kiwis for the great hospitality. Nope... Shane didn't retrieve his boat... some good gear floating around in the lake :( I'll have to have a look at the pics..... was good to meet you all.

nope, not an electric. I believe its a multi-type boat with a geared drive setup (hence the high motor rpm). just my opinion... **just looked at it again... I am wrong. It is an FE in the 1Kg class. (I think the english used to rate their electric boats in this manner). Either way it's fast.

Hey guys, Issue resolved... package arrived. Contact email had changed. thanks guys... Tony Jones NSW, Australia

well, race meeting is over. I ended up going to the 1521/1Y motor with a H5 prop. Ran reasonable consistent runs all weekend. Temps were fine (motor was only reaching about 30 degrees C). Batts were taking back 2700 - 3000 mAHr after a heat. Time to build a new lighter boat. If I can lose...

I first met Dick when I pitted for him at the NAMBA Nats (96 I think?). Lovely fellow... Caught up with him again at Jackson IMPBA Nats in 2004 (when Team Oz visited). Still a great person. I wish him a speedy recovery.... get back out there soon Fella!! Tony Jones
