Looks nice !

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

I have not heard of anyone doing that. However it is possible you would need find the fittings in ali and then tig them on. I never attempted it because the issues I had with the whole assemble coming loose. One of the best things I did was switching to the wet tunned pipe. I think Tony also sells a muffler that will work with his wet tunned pipes if noise is still a concern.

Thanks Leo .....Yes ...agreed.....wet tuned pipe would be the best bet. Seems like alot to go through just to put some fittings on there to direct exhaust away from boat !!! Thanks again !!! Steve K.

A cheap thought.

Hi D -Dog ....I did think of these as our LHS has them but I havent found a size to fit over the stacks.
I actually use those on our 2 Traxxas T-Maxxes.
thanks for the thoughts !!!! SK.

Just got a G off ebay and the first step is to replace canister.
Can't decide between wet/dry. Like you, I also just really like the gurgle of exhaust in the water at idle.

I don't see that black wet pipe you installed on WHHsite did Tony have to hook you up with something different, perhaps due to available space back to transom or something?

Nothing special. The ones he sells now are not powder coated in black. Other than that it is the setup as listed on his site. Give him a call he may have some laying around in black.

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

Look at post #333 right above yours by Cheezewizz. Page 14.

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

Hey everyone ive read through this whole post and got alot of great info. I am soon to be a G owner. I found some close by that is going to trade me his G for my savage 25 and cant wait. I wanted a bigger boat but this looks like a great boat to start off with. I will be posting some pics of it tomorrow after I pick it up.

Has anyone swapped out the original gator homelite motor for the Whobbies air cooled g231? If so is a just remove the old one and bolt up the new one or is some modifications that need to be done? Thanks

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

Congratulations on the new addition !!!

Believe there was an article somewhere around about the swap - I am sure if you call Tony he will let you know just what is involved and what is needed. Tony does not have a stellar reputation for customer service for nothing - put him to the test ;)

That said - I would certainly get her wet with the homelite she has in her. While I am sure it will lack a little performance compared to the zen - you probably wont appreciate the zen as much if you dont see the Homie run. Plus - it will be fun regardless!!

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

Scott shoot Leo a PM, he helped one of the guys do just that. I wasn't there but it was a pretty easy job, I think you just have to drill new holes in the stringers for the new motor mounts. Its a bit of work but nothing serious or too complicated. Your gator isn't going to handle as nice as your team pro with the single rudder, so if you have to choose one boat to fix up, I think it would be more worthwhile and cheaper fixing the clutch in your team pro. Take care Scott!

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

Alright Danny Ill talk to Leo and see what he says. LoL the team pro is already fixed I tore it apart that night after I left the lake and I got everything from Tony all I need now is a flex shaft and shes ready to go. And for the gator I gave it to my brother and he wants it to go faster than that homelite will push it so were just gunna throw in that air cooled motor from tony and be done for a little while.

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

Having both boats running will be sweet. Definitely get rid of the homelite, the 230RC will push that gator plenty fast. Don't get the builders kit Tony sells, it may seem like a good deal, but the composite hardware it comes with is worthless. The rudder and bracket start to bend before you even wipeout. Just make sure you get all the bugs worked out before you run her so you don't have to deal with a ton of crap lakeside. Good luck man!

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

Congrats Wannagofast. The two best things about this boat is it's great for the friend you bring to the lake that wants to play rc boats too, and there reliable. I can't tell you how many times I've had another boat give me problems and I give up on it for the day, only to turn my head to see the Gator in the back of my Tacoma waiting to be dropped in.
You've made a wise purchase.:D

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

Put my order in for a Super G yesterday....hope to go pick her up next weekend!!!...or sooner...haha...I'm a longtime RC'er with heaps of cars/trucks/planes/helis....but living in florida all my life and being a boater in full scale...i felt it was only fit to get my "feet wet" with a boat of the Gas RC variety....im stoked to say the least!

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

Congrats its a awesome boat espically for a first boat handles true and straight. I got mine used as a orignal gator and replaced almost everything so its pretty much a super g LOL!! Have fun and good luck with the new boat.

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

Thanks!..Im looking forward to it!....I also got mine in white.....I love how it resembles an Apache 41....

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

You will have fun with it. Ive noticed cause you will probably ask this question some time that a prather 275 prop runs the best a prather 270 not bad either gets out the hole quick just not as much top end. Post some pics when you get it always like seeing a brand new shinny boat lol.

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

Welcome to the addiction. As mentioned a 275 is always a good prop to have. Whatever prop you pickup make sure it is sharpened and balanced.

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

Sweet...thanks for the advice!....where would be the best place to pick up the prather props and balancing equipment?....

RE: Super G' owners ~~ This is our thread
 

Yes as Leo said make sure its balanced and sharpend. I just pick my up off of Jims theres usually one that comes up there probably about once a week.
