Jae 45 is now done.

Butch.. consider a regulator on that servo batt combo.. Castle has a good 10amp unit for little money.

[Butch Londrigan]

Thanks Mike for info.

 

[Grimracer]

I would hate to see that beaut get broken.

Lookin' good Butch. Nice build.

 

[geoffreysherrah]

You did an amazing job on that racing rigger! I need a tuned pipe mount for mine... where did get that one?

 

[Butch Londrigan]

Speed master.

 

[RaceMechaniX]

Is the needle plumbed backwards or does it matter on the Violet style needles?

Tyler ya it's plumbed right. Nice build looks familiar! Mine has Andy's strut and rudder. Any videos? Pass ya later Charlie

 

[BobBonahoom]

Stu actually makes a point in his instructions with the needle to plumb it that way.

 

[Butch Londrigan]

Yep it's right. Ran boat today and is fast for sure. I will race it next weekend and will see how fast it is. It is faster than my old one and it was fast.

 

[ALLAN YUEN]

[Butch Londrigan]

This info is DEAD ON, lost a 3305 Friday am after 3 tanks. I have Castle regulators on all boats now with Life packs. Cuts the voltage to 5.1 (default setting) Castle part number is

on Tower is CSEM0005 $20.

 

[Butch Londrigan]

I ran that same setup last year. No problems. I will get the volt reg now. Thanks for info.

I also ran this way before , but one failure is too many. The system will last longer at reduced volts.

I have video of this boat running if u go to youtube and look me up

M screenname is hydroracer 164 and have videos of his 1/8 running as well

I was curious what sort of rpm the engine was making on the passes in front of the camera, so

checked with my audio tach phone app and was seeing 29K ish rpm on the last pass as the rigger was

approaching the camera and 31k ish as it passed the camera ie doppler effect. The last pass the tank was

apparently getting low and the rpm picked up a bit.

Great run all you could hope for and a sweet location for testing!

 

[Butch Londrigan]

I was adjusting the mix as the run went on. One to many clicks on the mix and there goes the plug.. I set it up now so the mix has a finer adjustment.

 

[DeanJohnson]

Butch,
That video is interesting. The boat seems about as fast as your green JAE running the 14 series prop (maybe slightly slower... your green JAE was absolutely ballistic), but the RPM doesn't seem like what it was with your new ABC prop. If you're able to achieve the same RPM with the new ABC prop, that thing will be a rocket ship.

Bradley,

Do you know how accurate those RPM auto tach's are? I suppose at worst if gives you a baseline for further testing.
