RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

That's the one I use, just make sure you have a spare set of batteries in your pit box for it.

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

Move the batteries further forward. you can run the COG as far forward as 33 - 34%. lipos are lighter than NiMH and will need to be placed further forward in the hull than NiMH cells. I run my...

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

Before you bend the trim tabs down, have you checked the COG? Put the batteries in the boat where you would normally run them & then slide the boat back on its stand until it tips backward. Mark...

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

Best all round prop is probably the X440/3 B&S. For speed the X642 i beleive is good, but isn't as stable in turns. There is a whole prop thread for the SV27, have a look in there.

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

If you unplug 2 of the leads and swap them around, the motor will run backwards, BUT if you run it with the flex shaft connected you will unwind it & cause all sorts of damage to your driveline. ...

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

battery coolers are a catch 22. the batteries perform their best when warm so cooling them will reduce their punch. also a battery generates it's heat from the center out, so all cooling it will do...

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

I just epoxied the wood, no point in adding excess weight where it isn't needed. I also took all the hardware off the back & put some sealant on the screws when I put them back in.

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

the ESC does have a cut off.

you want the balance point around 30% from the transom.

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

you should run them above the hull, not flush. running them flush causes drag. a couple of mm should be fine.

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

The OSE ones should be a direct swap for the stock ones. just bolt them on to the same holes. then run it & adjust it untill the boat rides properly on the water.

RE: Super Tune Your Super Vee 27

why change the prop when you can stabilize the boat with trim tabs & battery placement? there's nothing wrong with the X440/3.
