Nitro/FE OB Hull, Engine, and Accessories Website and Contact Information Listings

[RonShaw]

I wanted to start this thread to help not only myself, but tunnel boaters as a whole, with updates on websites and contact information on the wealth of OB Tunnel Hulls, engines, and accessories, that are available today. This will also help consolidate all of this information into one "easy to find" location. I just recently started racing again after being out of touch with this "old passion of mine" for 16 years. I have seen bits and pieces of information showing up here and there, but thought it would make it so much easier on everyone if there was one place to go to find anything and everything to do with building and racing outboards. This includes Nitro, Gas, and FE. Please feel free to "post away" and share the wealth of tunnel information so many of you have tucked away in your brain, (or smart phone), somewhere. I would appreciate your help, and I am sure many others will as well. Hopefully I will see many of you at the races soon!!! Thanks.

I make OB crankshafts and conversion kits for 3.5 Novarossi and Go engines. The conversion kits will let you bolt up your engine to a OS lower. I also make an OS style of top mounting plate for the Lawless lower. So you can mount a OS style of PTO to your Lawless lower. These item will be on my website shortly.

Thank you,

Mark

Go to products then motors and the TP brand. Was a little discussion on OSE on these motors and one opinion was they may be somewhere between a leopard and a NUE. 4082 1600kv is a good 5-6S "Q" motor and the 4074's listed would be good for "P". Priced well and won't break the bank.

ahhhhhh. these links complete me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a couple sites for some good prices on FE equipment. The Dinogy batteries are reasonable in price and perform with anything out there. On the Kieth Bradley site for tunnels where space is limited look at the 220/300 Swordfish for a full P or Q. Compact but has some headroom for a hot P or Q motor. The Castle 2200kv 1515 on 4S will push a tunnel easily into the 55mph range. Ihttp://performancerc...s.com/page8.php http://www.keithbrad...and-accessories

It's also possible to go old school. I have built 2 or 3 Dumas Hot Shot Tunnel Hulls. I've raced them, built them, and had tons of fun with them. They are reliable and fun for all ages. Very easy to build, and can be altered in many ways!

This thread is very old and I noticed that some of the suppliers listed are out of business and some are even deceased now. It looks like the last time a subject was added to this thread was in 2012 and was last edited in 2017... This information took a lot of effort to compile but if you are searching for something just be aware that a lot has changed since this information was posted.
