strapped the gps on the bantam today..with the wasp crf motor and modded x438 it went 54 mph..not too bad

Will it swing the v937 without too much hop? others to try 1938, 1440cupped bar cut. 2137 might be nuts!

I like that square wave on the 35+21. HAve you run it yet? I assume that is a SAW boat.

tom, ive tried a few of those props 1938 937 2137 i cant keep any of them from hopping,and havent been able to get the 937 to launch,when i toss it in it cavitates really bad and just slows and dies... even with the 637 and 438 im hopping in the turns a bit ..once i get that fixed ill try again..i also ran a 1440 that was a good bit faster than the 438 but its a little too big and will take the plug out of the motor in one run.

jon,

i have run it a little bit, ive had a few issues that i need to work out.im waiting on a carb to put on it as i think its part of my troubles.. the pipe is very nice but i havent seen what it can do yet..

 

[TomMoorehouse]

well.... have you tried the prather 215? it might be the best overall. it usually is for .12 boats I find.

I see that you have one of Glenn's pipes. How long are you running it. Also Glenn suggested an X632 as these little motors love high rpms. The only bad thing is that its an 1/8" shaft. Hope this helps alittle. BTW, Nice looking boat. Ryon
