RE: apache owners
 

Hey all, I have my first Apache on it´s way from Mart. (well, a Navaho but I guess it´s close enough! )

I will build it to use blue smoke,hope you dont mind me asking few q´s here at the gas section.


I would like to get scale looking exhaust outlets for it(4) and thinking what size ones you guys use and if you have a picture of them installed on your apache then that would be great!

Thinking that this is too small http://www.toughracing.com/zc126d/in...products_id=93

This maybe too big http://www.toughracing.com/zc126d/in...roducts_id=135

I will use them as water outlets so the first one I linked would be really easy but is it going to look tiny on 57" hull?

I have looked through this thread many times and the white "warpath" exhaust outlets looks about the style I´m after. Here is a link to pic http://images.rcuniverse.com/forum/u...07/Vq52253.jpg

RE: apache owners
 

Hello everyone.  I have not touched my apache yet.  It is still in the box.  I sold my Checkmate so this may give me more time to start the Apache.  What are you guys thoughts on the MHZ trimmax drive?  There is one for sale in the classifieds.  I guess about the same price as anything else but I thought maybe I could get started.  I reallly wanted the MHZ S6 but I just don't want to dish out the money for them.  I have a 1/10th cracker box I built I need to sell also and get that out of the way.  Electric is not for me.  I love my T Maxx though!

RE: apache owners
 

For performance I would think the trimax surface drive would be best and still look very cool.

What Apache do you have ? any pic's ?

RE: apache owners
 

I stated earlier it was 57" but it is actually 56". It is an Aeromarine Hull. I have wanted one for years and I just happen to look at ebay and saw it for a good price. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x...s/DSC02285.jpg

RE: apache owners
 

These are pictures of my Son and I with our Apaches.

RE: apache owners
 

I'd like to see a pic of the crackerbox . Could you PM me ?

RE: apache owners
 

Leo

The silver one your holding is very nice any pic's under the hood .
As you know I building a AM 56 still don't know what power and drive yet. just looking for idea's ! ;)
I will be posting the build soon !

Man I like that pond, wish I had that to run on !

RE: apache owners
 

here are a few pics of my next build 65" Ballentine Apache with original hardware think im going with a 29 cc zen but may go with a RCMK 520 also a pic of my 57" Capricorn Apache with MHZ S6

RE: apache owners
 

Nice Apaches and hardware m8 any idea what paint scheme your going with on the Ballentine yet.By the way sent one of mine to Canada a cpl weeks ago only took 5 days to get there ;).
Mart

RE: apache owners
 

The silver one is actually the Miss Havana club. I scrapped that RUM theme because the AM hull just doesn’t want to handle like the CIP hull my son is holding. So I asked my best friend to shoot it when he was painting a 2004 Mustang. The color is amazing and I had some Goodyear decals that I picked up at the track that fit the color scheme. I am going to regret it when she is gone. But she will be going as soon as I get a WaveRider Apache.
I am 80% done with building a A/C Razor for my god son but I will try to get you some clean pictures of the interior later this week.

RE: apache owners
 

was thinking the 1980 s INXS Apache as it was one of my favorite hulls back in the day hope to get it up and running for the summer its hard to pritoritise as im gathering parts for a big cat as well the gf is getting me a cat for my birthday so i have been sneeking in a part here and there for it when i get a good deal hard to come up with the $$$$ for all the engines in need as i also want to repower the 57 " Capricorn Apache this summer

RE: apache owners
 

Lots of nice paint jobs in previous post. I was thinking the old War Path paint job but seems like it would be expensive to do something so detailed. Here are more pictures. I made an offer on that trim max drive so I have started to try and collect parts.

RE: apache owners
 

Leo and Jr, you guys have been busy while i have been away. nice paint on both of those apachehulls for sure! hope to see you guys soon.

RE: apache owners
 

Nice Jared

old War Path scheme was recently by ( team prestige ) and very nicely done as well !

This is his thread if you have not seen it ( http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_97...tm.htm#9738190 )

I'm also building the same Apache as you, should be nice I think. I will post a build thread soon. I need a week or so, I'm painting the boat now at my friends shop.
Time getting there after work when time allows and when my friend has time for me to use the shop.
I can't paint at home no place to it with out smelling up the house and getting the wife mad !

RE: apache owners
 

Just making good use of my time Robert :D:D don't forget to call before you head on down.

Steve, here are two pictures for you. Let me know if you would like to see anything else. Yes, we are very lucky to have access to this county lake.

RE: apache owners
 

One of the local guys here did an excellent job with home made decals. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=9738190

RE: apache owners
 

Thanks Leo

Very clean setup. so much room in that hull. I like the T-bar is it from WHH very nice build Leo !!!

That Silver is awesome post more pic's of that boat ! LETS SEE IT MAN !

RE: apache owners
 

Shoot, ok Thanks. I will find something.

RE: apache owners
 

I see lots of you guys talking about trading motors or updating your boats. If you have some stuff you might sell let me know and I will take a look and see if I am interested or not. I really would like to find a MHZ S6 drive.

RE: apache owners
 

Yea. I like that. So those are all decals? Wow! Nice.

RE: apache owners
 

Thanks, I always find it hard to take pictures when we out at the lake of my own boats but I will see what I can do this weekend.

Yes it is a WHH T-bar. Not the prettiest but it the only one I know that gives you all the adjustments you may need.

Thanks again,
Leo
