Hey Ray S I see you are getting one of the SSP45 refinished. You added the Namba tunnel mod bottom, you will like it, makes the boat ride a bit better without a blow off.

You going to have it ready before winter?

If you want a new glass front wing send me your mailing address.

I will be ready to build all the new boats with this bottom soon as I get the bottom mold redone.

Looks like my Bud #8 is going out of style. May need a fresh boat with a new DEW
 
Got a question, boat has a forward radio box. I want to mount steering servo in it's own waterproof box left of the stuffing tube. I need a waterproof three wire connector so I can service either radio box seperately out of the boat. Hope this makes sense. Thanks Ray

Deans gold plated connectors should work the futaba connectors could corrode.

Running a control rod from the front box is no problem.

You can get Dave Brown products carbon fiber control rod kit for this setup.

Phil, I'm running a third channel needle, three servos, battery, switch, all up front is too much for these fat fingers to work on. Like building a ship in a bottle :lol: :lol: Thanks for the Deans tip. Ray

Phill what did you do to the bottom ??? why do you exit your stuffing tube so far back.???

I know less drag but the bend is fairly severe.. You are the master.. not me.. but just my observation..

Ed Hughey was my guru.. he taught me .

I am one of the old members of Indy Model Boat Club.. I traveled with Ed and partnered with him when his brother was not available. so, I do know a little something about modeling.. but not at your level..

Thank you for your time. I am also the man with the Coors light boat you built in 2000 very light you laid it up for SAW

I know less drag but the bend is fairly severe..

The setup of the drive shaft is straight to the strut no bend. some have put a slight bend at the bottom just in front of the strut to make the strut flatter. Where do you see a severe bend?

The bottom mod was to the tunnel depth to suit the Namba rule of 1/2 inch deep belly pan.

I will have the new boat done with this bottom so no one will have to add anything.

I have tested this new boat this year and it has been the best handling boat I have seen. Runs faster and will stay on the water with a flatter strut angle and no extra weight.

Ray i have all 3 servos up front,use good servos then you only need to do it one time..........
 
Mike, Phil said the same thing, but 3 servos,rec,batt, an switch too much for these fat fingers. Also not comfortable with almost 28 inch long steering control rod, no matter what it's made of. Just me I guess, have to over engineer. :p :p Ray
