Its Prep Time again!!

[Bob Morton]

Brett I don't say anything ..that boat is amazing !! It's gonna take a cool head and a blistering first turn to win for sure , looking forward to the challenge for sure !

Hi Tom,

How often do you change bearings? In the twin of course.

Hi Brett,

That boat runs great. Like the sound of those engines.

Tom

Do you know or have a guess as to why the inside motor uses bearing faster??? :wacko:

Don

The outside eng will unload more in the turns.

Some put diffrent pitch props on a twin to compensate for this and some stager the pipes.

Different flavors for different taste.

Don , guessing it's under more load or possibly need to richen it more . Could be the bearings also , but the left engine was fine . also it's not the front bearing ( drive side ) they hardly feel any wear at all .

Bob , it seems 4 races and a few test sessions is it for me on bearings . That is a year of running it in both X ( F ) and Twin Rigger classes . Now they are not falling apart or anything but the right large bearings tend to feel rough .

Tom,

I've heard that the VAC .91's are hard on bearings? Do you think there's an issue with them being too small?

David,

I am jealous you have it all: great weather for testing, a nice

collection of pups, and a nice fleet of boats to test. What more

could a man ask for from Santa at this time of year?

Enjoy,

Mark
