Oyyy I don't feel like ripping it apart.
These things seem like a lot of work.

I'm basically at sea level and have not had much success with props bigger than the Y-535. The Grim Racer 36X55 is slightly more prop than the Y-535 and worth trying.

Jerry have you tried reducing blade diameter, backcutting , or taking out some cup on the larger than 535 props or were you trying basically stock props? I know the prop gurus do these things to make a "too large" prop a better fit for a particular engine/boat. Just wondering....

I have not tried modified props on the MVD because I'd rather use a prop that anyone can get and run w/o "blade butchering."

Status: offline 		Here's my new MVD. Everything is stock except for prop. Its a CMDi balanced/sharpened y535. This is a cool boat. Radio, engine, and pipe are an excellent improvement over the original. Regarding the new sponsons...such a slight change, makes a huge improvement. It's not as significant as the mods listed in the Miss Vegas thread, but simple.

Here's my Video. Special thanks to Tom H. for driving the boat as I caught it on camera and Rick for launching it.

Status: offline 		Raising the strut or the prop helps loosen the boat and may cause cavitation, so you may have to give the boat a harder push when launching. The results should make it a little faster.

The MAC 2.5 pipe work well but is noisy. A Rum Racing Products After-Muffler will make it less irritating. Better yet get a Cooper Quiet Pipe...Quiet and maximum power from your Aqua 18.

I just bought a new Duece and took it to the lake. I am finding that the boat will run fast on the straights the will slow down while I am still on 100% throttle. ? I have almost 3/4 gallon of 30% thru it. The boat is all stock but the grim racer turn fin and grim racer 35mm prop.I have looked over the boat but cannot find any issues. Can anyone help? Thanks Jason

Is the boat slowing down while running on the straights or slowing down in turns after running fast on the straights? If it's running fast on the straights and slowing on the straights, you should consider richening the needle.

Status: offline 		This boat is such an improvement over the first boat. So far, the only upgrades I have done are grim turn fin and CMDi balanced and sharpened octura y 535. I gps'd the boat (unfortunately no video) with 60% nitro and it ran 43.5 mph. At that speed, the boat gets a bit flighty and a handfull to pilot. I don't know if I should give the strut a degree or 2 of down angle to lower the nose or lower the strut. The strut is set as high as the stock setting allows and has 0 degree angle.

I can't see how the original miss vegas can compete with this boat stock for stock in an rtr race.
