But RPM's is where your speed comes from. so the stock RPM's will still get you in the mid 40's. But a full mod Zenoha getting 18k plus RPm's will get you into the 50's. Over all I still feel the weak links in boats are the users. I have seen plenty of model boats with stock motors in the hands of the right guys go faster then lots of modelers with Modified motors and even known faster hulls.
Some of the stock motor racing classes get very good MPH speeds.
I want to talk to you more on the Thunder cat in very near future, I'm not shy $ wise on the best setup for it. By the way what can I call you besides expresscraft? So RPMs is the key? that's why I saw a guy that's setting up a boat to use a rpm meter. Keep changing props to push the boat fast and get high rpms at the same time. Question about Mod Zenoha. Nitro days we use to lessen or add {been so long I forget, think we took away making higher compression} head shims/gasket and smooth and polish intake and exhaust. K&B use to offer cylinder sleeves with different size porting even. I have heard they do same things to mod a gasser, if that's the case, ill mod my new 26cc. I'm worried that if I put the 26 cc in the V24, it will be to my disappointment as in speed {guessing mid 40s with stock 26cc} like to acquire a bigger engine for it, so its on a shelf......I will get it in the water again, I don't sell my toys. going to start new forum for a Zippkit woody I'm going to put all my V24 hardware in, I hope you get on that forum.
