Post your tunnel fleet 2022👀

[Grimracer]

Boat is guided by (I will start with)
Futaba 7PX Limited
Futaba SBS324SB RX
Futaba BLS3735SV (Absolute BEAST)
Futaba S3172SV Throttle Servo
Futaba SBS-01G GPS

Yes.. the above helps me earn my keep! LOL.. sorry for the shotty plug!

I have not raced a Mod B tunnel in...ah.. some ware around 12 years. (I would race my Sport Tunnel In Mod) The last mod boat I raced was my Trusty Nemesis with CMB RS Green Head. (motor sold.. boat shelved!).

I hope to get the boat into the paint shop in the next month or so.

I doubt this website has enough Gigs of storage space to post my fleet. Addiction is a pleasant thing as long as you feed it! I take after Ron Shaw. Oh, and I have the real deal too. aka Tunnel King

 

[Ronald van Essen]

He Mike,

all looking good. Hope the setting of the lower is high enough. It won't go any higher or just about a tenth of an inch.
Installling the tank...great.

Have fun and good luck with the boat

Thanks buddy... I will make sure I have the room to make changes..

Thanks

Hi:
This is my little 3.5 cc fleet... I will expand it soon

 

[Dirk Jan Cozy]

Hello fellow rc enthousiasts, great tunnel hulls! I just registered after finding out this forums with a big and active rc outboard community. I'm an rc outboard fan myself and here's my fleet:

Cozy F1 tunnel: 22.8" own design with TFL mini outboard running 2800kv on 4S



Cozy F1 T800: 33" own design with TFL large outboard running 1600kv on 6S. It needs the final paint stil.



Original paint scheme had to be removed due to a constructional issue.


152VO flatbottom: Speedliner Corsair with TFL mini outboard running 2600kv on 3S:



Hope to learn about- and share my outboard experiences here!

 

[bob miller]

great idea ...really nice scale reproduction

 

[Marty Slater]

very nice cozy hows the speedliner run

 

[Dirk Jan Cozy]

The Speedliner runs as a typical flatbottom: a little bounce on the straights and careful turning / drifting around the corners. On 3S it is actually overpowered (36mph). On 2S it runs more scale speed.
152VO is a big community on classic racing boats. The community originated in Germany, but it has racers / members from all over the world. The boats are built from the original plans (!). If your boat is regisered, you can compete in the annual 152VO competition held in Germany. I competed about 6 years ago and it was great fun!

my collection.........

Glad to see you still have the Nasty Nitro boat. That was a job getting it set up for you for the Tunnel Champs. When it really lit off it became a handful as it was fast as a jet.

 

[Ronald van Essen]

Still appreciate the help with the setup. It never raced after that event. Besides the boat has some cracks near the motormount area.

Most welcome and I enjoyed doing it. Sorry to hear that it has not run again. I would have loved to play around with it for a bit more, it needed a bit more trim adjustment for higher speeds. And the cracks can be repaired and reinforced. But my racing days are over.
