[Wayne Johnstone]

Just wondering if anyone has pics of the Budweiser T4?

The 2 wing?

Doug Shepard should have plenty.

Hi Mikey ,

Share your pictures of the T 4.

Thank you!

 

[ron upton]

what year was the t 4

 

[Wayne Johnstone]

Yes the 2 wing, around 94 95 it ran

Here ya go, just about every configuration, even the Madison no horizontal pic.

Those pics with the front canard need to go away. Those are display boat pics,it never ran like that

It did in Detroit !

 

[SayMikey]

I've only seen it as a display boat. Is there proof?

 

[Tom Kelly]

You can tell by the brown water it ran in Madison that way.

 

[Douglas P Shepherd]

It ran with the 1/2 canard in Detroit never the full.

In the pictures I posted, look at pics 2,3,4, shot in Detroit, Chip driving, maybe squint, glasses...........

I'm talking about the full canard not the wingless pics 14-15

Hanauer HATED that boat, said it was a death trap. And from what I found out when I did the first T-4 (I built a couple) the boat only tested with the small front canard wings, it didn't qualify or race in that particular configuration. It did race with and without rear winglets and even without the rear horizontal wing (one race I believe).

Thanks for the pics so far guys really appreciated. Do you have any pics of your boats Don?

 

[Wayne Johnstone]

If I may ask another question. As I plan on running this as a 1/8 scale electric boat, what sort of motor esc should I look at getting? Any suggestions. It will be an 8s set up (2 4s packs)

This is one of the first T-4s that I did, Thunderboat Reproductions (Dick Caspari) hull-

Clarify- old issue that i thought was cleared up

The T4 raced in Madison in 94 It broke all of the horizontal wings during the heats and ran without the horizontal for the rest of the day because they were out of parts!

I would not model it that way ( without the horizontal), since that was a broken configuration and was never intended to run that way. Kinda like noone has modeled the circus/ miller high life boat that was parted together during a race in which both were damaged. You can't race a damaged boat..
