It 's just a stock 30. It will just be a play boat for the guy I'm putting it together for. He has no interest in racing. Just wants a cool boat to run around the pond.

What propsize for a 53" Cat

I am assembling a 53"CRC Victory Cat and I would like to know what a good prop size would be for it. It will be a sport boat with a 30cc Zenoah and a Zipp V3 quiet pipe. Thanks in advance, Mike

I had the same problem with a couple of their receivers. Check the voltage on your 6v pack. Sky Fly states the voltage max is 6.5 v for their receivers. The last time I had this issue mine worked...

RE: Problems with O.S. outboard... need help!

Now you're getting into setup stuff. Do you have the setup instructions that came with the boat? They may still be available online somewhere. It sounds like you have the motor too low on the...

RE: Problems with O.S. outboard... need help!

I'm with Jerry on this. Richen it up and see if you can get thru a tank without it quitting. If you do then start leaning out a little at a time to get to the best setting. The fuel tank is far...

RE: Need New Radio Box

Yea, I'll build you one (or more). Those in the picture are for the Deuce. I've done 20 or 25 of them. Price is about the same ($20) as OEM with shipping included. Includes rubber boots. They...

RE: Need New Radio Box

No, but I would use some sort of plywood. I've built them for sale from 1/16 and lite ply. If you use lite ply you won't need to brace up the corners as the wood is thick enough to just build a box...

RE: ZippKits Rockett Hydro build thread

I would recommend that the blind nuts be installed before the plate is glued to the former. On mine installing them afterwards caused the former to twist slightly.

Yea, Curious about that myself. If it's a D-14 driver, (Blue/VS-1 maybe?) I've probably raced it several times this season. ...

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk

I just put it on with a good quality 1" brush. It's not the fastest process but it works for me. I put on 1 coat right from the can. Spread it out evenly and don't try to pile it up. The first...

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk

I think you were wise to get those run pads flat over their length. I'm sure the curved rear section is not a design feature. Also I use Minwax Marine Spar urethane semi-gloss to seal all my wood...

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk

Unless the instructions with the boat tell you expressly not to touch the bottom I would consider blueprinting any tunnel. I've recently done my 2 Cobra's and a friends TS3 and they have all...

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk

Apparently, they don't work as well. The original Version 1 rods tend to wear the crank pins to a point that they are no longer round. We have seen them wear as much as 2 thou. in a season while...

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk

Here is a picture of a VSpec Speed Rod. A car guy turned me on to theses a couple years ago. Looks similar to the one in the new air cooled engine. In real life they look like they are a machined...

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk

IMO...You really need to find out where the metal pieces you found on the piston came from. If the element (although mangled) was still in the plug it's not too likely that's where they came from. ...

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk

I wouldn't use grease on the new flex shaft. It will just plug up the oiling system OS has designed in to the lower unit. A light oil is fine. I've been using 5-20 synthetic blend oil before each...

RE: Fly Sky 10 Model FS GT3B 2.4 G 3 CH Radio

As to run times, I have a GT3-A (not B) that I installed a 1450 lipo in and I can make several trips to the pond before charging. I would think the 3-B would be similar in that respect. The funny...

RE: These new fangled Trigger happy Transmitters

RE: These new fangled Trigger happy Transmitters

The receivers (except for the fail-safes on the newer versions) are not programmable.
