Andy

Same fuel load as the space shuttle,

What power are you using in this one??

 

[ronratoff]

Andy alot ! Works as ballast and these boats can still run great rich....save that motor....Have Walt build you a tank to whatever room you have....

first tunnel now scale...oh boy...more boats to beat!!!!

I have to agree, 20 to 24 ounces depending on the engine and how much nitro you run.

 

[Bill Gibson]

Andy, The Pak im building uses 2 12oz tanks that Walt made for me...they are fitted into the right and left sponson, ahead of the engine..the radio box is in front of the engine as im trying to get as much weight up front as possible....i can e-mail some pics if you like, just give me your e-mail addy....i know space is limited in your boat as with my Atlas.....just to let you know that with my Executone, using that WONDERFUL Picco, i only need a 16oz main tank, and a 1oz hopper and still come back with fuel! I would think the OPS should be pretty good on fuel compared to my slobbering gas hog MAC or CMB Greenie! Thats why ive got 24oz of fuel capacity in the Pak....its a HEAVY(my fault)boat and im runnin a CMB in it....did you remove the pads on the sponson bottoms yet? I still have to do that to mine...and im DREADING it!

The pads are GONE. Some 40 grit discs and a die grinder will take care of that in a hurry Bill. Wear a mask!

Glenn

Glenn, i just wish i hadnt painted the boat...God! I HATE grindin on a paint job! 10-4 on the mask!

What kind of fuel load are you guys running in your scale boats ?

Andy

Andy, Have Bill Gibson show you how he did the tanks in his PAY N PAK. Start making some sawdust-you gotta cut the radio box out to keep the pipe under the cowl anyway. I hear 20-24 Oz.

Glenn

Yeah know Glen , the more I think about it- Im leaving it like it is.

I may take some purist grief- but there really isnt THAT much pipe exposed- besides

I NEVER have an intention of concourse judging the boat,

btw hang on one sec Glen-

h34r: h34r: h34r: h34r:

Okay ready now- LMAO

I THINK ?? I can cram an 18 or 20 and a 2oz hopper in there. maybe........

Rick it will run JW OPS power, If I can fanagle some type of drop mounts to let it clear the cowl- the OPS is taller than the original OS <_< of course ........

Andy

andy, i used to run a modded ops .67 with a rpm carb and carried 2- 10oz tanks and 1 2oz hopper and there wse fuel to spare. if worse case deal with hight and you can not use drop down mount, you can always make a little belly tub,have done it before with no complictions,mike.

Looks fine to me......RUN IT!! If thats a nitro pipe, you need to stick a muffler on it...that would be the bigger issue, i would think.....

 

[Joe Wiebelhaus]

Ok,

Put it under the deck, like it belongs, and a muffler too, fits nice eh...... welcome to Scale.
