RE: OS Max 60FP

Curt I don't even have the slightest idea what a cool clamp is. This boat was (is) an electric, with dual motors, 1:1.95 transmission, wire drive and custom rudder/strut. It runs nicely on 12-16...

OS Max 60FP

would this be a suitable engine for a 31" deep V hull? I have an old plane lying around and I was thinking I might be able to use this engine in the hull I have.

Thanks for all opinions.

RE: Trim tabs question

The boat will porpoise a bit at full throttle. In fact it will actually become airborne, rudder completely out of the water, when negotiating small waves. This is easy to fix by moving the...

RE: The difference between the Kyosho Atlantio 059, and 600.

Kyosho doesn't make the Atlantio 059. Didn't you buy the boat off E_B_A_Y? I seem to remember your threads about it... Anyway, if that's the case, email one of the current sellers of the boat and...

RE: Plug corrosion - why?

Thanks Gordy. I used silver solder that came in a kit I bought from a LHS made by Hobbico. The corrosion is around the plug "prongs" on the male Deans and inside the plug on the female Deans.

RE: Plug corrosion - why?

No ocean running, freshwater pond only. I did the WD-40, if anything it sure makes the Dean's connectors easier to take apart.

And while I'm on the subject, Dean's connectors drive me nuts. ...

Maybe it's an Mtroniks thing. I have the same problem in one of my boats with the Mtroniks Tempo ESC. Cuts out just like you described. I think the Mtroniks are so watertight they retain a lot of...

RE: How do I cool my engine?

lmao! Just this afternoon at the pond I was cursing myself for putting the water outlet on the RIGHT side of my boat.
No course set up or anything, but running clockwise just feels more normal.

RE: some one explain boat props to me please

I don't know just how waterproof it is, but what concerns me is that it ISN"T water-cooled. Can it be water-cooled? It's bound to get hot and shut down if not.

I have a Graupner Phantom. It's a fine beginners boat, and it can be upgraded a little to make it even better.
