My Feedback: (2)

I have used the one way valve for 7-10 tanks with no problems at all. I have sealed the top center vent hole in the cap and put the valve in the neck of the tank. All is good so far. No leaks, no engine issues. Jason

wow love your garage

magnum57

Thanks Bro. So the guys at the pond keep telling me to remove the velocity stack off my carb to see if I can get more power out of my mantaray. What do u guys think ???

Jon DesJardins

In my opinion not worth it Joe, I mean really what is .002 hp going to do for ya :shrug:
LOL

magnum57

Good point. I'll leave it as is. Mele Kalikimaka

Jon DesJardins

LOL, I'm a huge fan of once something is running well I leave it alone and enjoy it.
If I was a racer and not a sport boater then I could see tinkering a bunch to squeeze everything you can out of it, but these enforcers out of the box are quick, reliable and super fun!

Heck we drag race'em and all

Hey, guys, I am going to order a Magnum 57 RTR with M5 engine, but without raido , what else do I need to upgrade this kit ? thank you for your input

magnum57

Congratulations you’re going to enjoy your choice of gasser RC boat. You’re going to build from the kit so most every thing comes with it. These kits are amazing, the detail Toni puts into them, a few things you might want to add but not necessary would be a cnc choke knob, trim tabs, EKG kills guard, boat stand, Spare prop, prop balancer, Easy start handle, rub rail. I would also recommend a set of auto bailers. These are some of things you’re going to want later as I have found out the hard way[X(] Of course you may buy all kinds of other goodies for your new boat but these are just a few things I have put on mine. Enjoy the hobby

Jon DesJardins

I agree with Magnum57!

I did all the safety features as he mentioned and you can check out all my options in my Team Pro Enforcer thread I made also.


I STRONGLY suggest getting a the Futaba FASST system, I have a 3PKS 2.4 and love it, but you can also get the 3PMX and it should be just a reliable!

magnum57

Hey Jon,
You going to the pond tomorrow ????

Jon DesJardins

Yea, Melissa and I will be there but not sure if we will bring the Team Pro, we have some family in town that is going to be over for lunch before heading back to MN, so we will come and hang out, take some pics & vids to post up!

Your son bringing out the new baby !?

magnum57

Yea, Jimmy will be there with the Mantaray. We were at the pond today but the thing ran like crap[:@] Not sure what’s up with it. The carb is suspect Something in it or the diaphragm or who knows, we'll attack it tomorrow. Bring the Team Pro Bro We have a lunch we need to be at around 11:00 so won't be at the pond for long.

Jon DesJardins

Wish I could have made it out, family in town halted us from leaving but Im sure we can figure it out!

magnum57

Awesome day on the pond Jimmy's Mantaray runs sweet

Hey Jon. I took your advice and went with the S505 Futaba digital servo for steering and the S3050 for the throttle.
HRS mode here we come

Jon DesJardins

AHHHHHHHHHH You beat me to it!
LOL

Now I have to catch up and see if I can get mine installed before next day out, LOL

How do they work, torque is 3x of the one you used to have and both should be faster too, especially in HRS mode.
Plus fail safe will work now on the Tx without resetting each time!

magnum57

The torque is phenomenalI can’t believe the power these servos have. Not real sure about the speed but I’m sure there faster. Excited about the fail safe also. With the EKG and the 3PK failsafe safety will be in check Now of course Jimmy wants all the goodies He’s running the 3PM. I need to get him a R603FS receiver. We’ll have to wait awhile. X-Mas drained me……..lol

Jon DesJardins

You wont have any turning or throttle issues now !!!!

yeah that was one hell of a x-mas for Jimmie )
The good thing is the 3PM can use the FS rx just like our 3PKS 2.4's

I noticed in your pic the yellow rubber band around the steering servo clevis is snapped, I'd replace that so you don't lose steering in the middle of a high speed turn or middle of the pond as the clevis pops off the servo arm.

magnum57

Thanks,
Yea, I actually changed the horn and replaced the band on the clevis. Any hook up on a R603FS receive for Jimmy's boat ?????

Jon DesJardins

No hook up on any FS rx's, but I would check craigslist to see if anybody has one local they are getting rid

I would love to get started in this hobby! I live in Florida and have a house in the keys. I run full scale boats there. I really like the the magnum 57, would that be a good starter boat? I am not a total noob and I run nitro RC cars. I also have a new 2 channel 2.4 ghz transmitter that I use for my car, so I just need a reciever. There is some pretty rough chop (even inshore) so I was looking for something with some size. I love the lines of the boat and am very eager to buy a boat as soon as I have some extra cash.

Jon DesJardins

Anything you get from Tony at warehouse hobbies will make you smile every time out!
If you want something that you can take the lake and handle the biggest chop I would go with the Magnum 57, only reason went Team Pro & I didn't go with the 57 is because I couldn't transport that large of a boat with my car :shrug:


But I love my Team Pro also!

Lord Maccrage

I've got a Yukon XL so size is no issue for me. Also, how do these boats run in salt water? Thanks!

magnum57

awesome choice my first gasser was a used magnum57. the enforcer boats are great in chop. very dependable and lots of fun I have owned almost every one WHH makes and the magnum57 is my favorite. get the M-5 mod going in and enjoy[X(]after running in salt H20 flush the system with fresh water and clean everything real good and ur boat will last a long time

Jon DesJardins

Ditto to what Joe said !
