RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

That was the first thing I've checked is binding but there's none. It's as loose and smooth as it can come.

Although the grease part brings up a good point. I'm using Mobil 1 synthetic marine...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

Yeah I might have to look at a different motor. Sure would be nice to get this one to work. For the most part I'm happy with it. Speed, acceleration and all that is good. I'll have to see what...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

Ok, finally got a decent run in tonight at the pool. Couple of issues but nothing to major. No leaks thank goodness! I think that fin on the bottom will have to go and a flat spot in front of the...

Here's updated pics with the semi done stickers. Still going to peel all the originals off. Not sure I like any of them so far!

Also took the boat out for another run tonight and heard the...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

Thanks guys.

I did some more testing today. Running 7.4 it seems to be just fine with no adverse reaction from the servo. Today I hooked up a pair of 11.1 lipos in parallel and it seemed to...

Yeah, so far so good! The only thing I'm playing with and taking a chance on is that little skag thing in front of the intake. I'm thinking that's either going to help or kill the intake on the...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

Hey guys,
Here's some pics of my jet. It's not pretty yet. Just getting things in place and ready to rock and then I'll worry about cleaning some of it up. Haven't had time to get it in the pool...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

Paul,
Got to thinking about it also. After you scuff up the hull make sure you wash it off really good to get all the dust and crap off it. I usually hit mine with the compressor. Depending on...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

Hi Paul,
It depends on the plastic and what type of paint you use. You will want to test the paint on the hull first. Nothing is going to stick if you rub against some rocks or anything sharp. I...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

I would like to build some out of aluminum or something that were somehow mounted right to the edges of the rear hull. Then make them adjustable with a little screw or something. Not sure how that...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

So did it end up helping at all? That looked like a nicer built in version of what I was thinking of trying.

EDIT: Nevermind. Guess that's where the vids came in. Scratch that question! :) ...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

Quicksilver,
Thanks for clearing that up. That makes more sense now. Either the Dew's worn off or just having time to sit down and think about it and draw it out seems to make it alot clearer. ...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

Just ordered the motor mount, and the jet drive with some random couplers to get things started. I'm holding off on the hull in case I need to order a battery also. I have a couple 11.1 3c's and a...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

One other question not sure if you guys will know.

Is there any diff in the 550 and the 750 Aquajet? Not thinking so and don't care about any other hardware. I can also reinforce the transome...

Thanks guys. I'm seeing what you are saying. That thing is freakin huge! Why the hell did they put a 14" shaft on that thing? Dang! That's nuts. I'm with you Quicksilver that if it had a cut...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

So you guys think the 40mm is to big to fit in the Aquajet?

Going to look a little closer at the jet length vs the hull length and see if it would be doable.....thinking it would be to long. ...

I have seen that big drive that Graupner has.....I think I'd have to switch up hulls if I did that. Might be a little long for the Aquajet.....just for ease of install of the jet is the...

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

Quicksilver,
What kind of motor mount do you use on the Graupner jet?

I think I'm sticking with the Graupner drives for price and ease. As much as I'd like to play around with a bigger jet...
