dougaldy,

i'm getting low to mid 40's but boat become undrivable coz of hooking and bouncing...i think this dumas will reach 40's and still stable coz the boat handle a lot better...worth to build though[sm=thumbup.gif].

WW,

I agree, its definitely worth building. Its also a nice looking boat when done. That is my next project. I have a green head at home that is waiting for it.

I wouldn't suggest anything too powerful for the Hot Shot Sprint. Boat is too short for that kinda power. A mild mod'd K&B is about all it can handle. I once tried a hot mod K&B and it would just blow over all the time.

dougaldy

Thanks Ob nut, well scratch that idea, Ill hold out for a Lynx or HTB 290

well in a few minutes from now, dumas and 7.5 htb will be heading to the lake,,sweettt!, temp. is in 59 oF, dead calm wind..this will be a nice thanks giving day[sm=bananahead.gif].

dumas is getting good speed with M445 prop, got a chance now to test x440/3, x442, x1440, and x640...post later for the verdict

wave waker

here's the speed dumas got and of course consider +/-, run with stock x442, 40% nitro and stock OS...was not able to compare different props coz i forgot[:@] to put in my toolbox thinkin' it's already there. btw, it's nice to have a big brother, it saves the day in the lake.

overall i'm satisfied of the performance and speed as long as i'm hitting 40's mph, dumas is running on the edge already, 50's mph maybe attainable but it might have stability issue like blowing over.

wave waker

the speed i got today...it's getting faster and faster..

anybody can give me a hint what mod to do in x442 prop, in straightways i'ts really pulling speed but i noticed boat slows during turns coz of the load on prop...

Do I see a challenge brewing for the next Fun Run or sooner?

I love the bench racing. About a month before the snow flies we get together and talk smack about who's done what, and who's snowmobile is going to stomp a mud hole in who's.

A month? Haven't you seen the forcast for later this week? Enjoy the next day or two as after Thursday you can kiss this warm weather goodbye! Highs Saturday in the 30's with snow.

unclecrash

Ya If you would have looked in the HPI thread you would have seen I replyed to your weather forcast. We started bench racing3 weeks ago. We call it bench racing others call it smack talk,trash talk

Now play nice guys, or I might have to get in on the bench racing as well. It doesn't help that I have 10" of snow in my yard at the moment either. First time I've been snow bound in seven years[X(] Gives me a good excuse to work on building boats

call it what ya want, it's all just fun and games with me... I just need to get the house in order so I can get up to the pond and run head to head with WW and his wonderful machine [8D]

unclecrash

LOL thats what its all about havin fun.

wave waker

Ron, who u gonna bet the oldie or the newbie?

unclecrash

Oh Boy the bench racing is gettin better and better. Im glad Im not Ron caught in the middle

wave waker

more tweak to come..i'll bet u'll not bringing me a 65% nitro no more...the Dumas that will beat Obnut's dumas was built[sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif]

unclecrash

What is OB runnin a ARR if you beat a boat ARR with a kit boat he most definitly will be[:@][sm=red_smile.gif]

wave waker

he has dumas hotshot kit too with modified K&B internal, mod prop, 65% nitro, and hitting 46-47 mph, pretty fast for the stock class.

unclecrash

I no nothing about tunnels or never raced boats but once you mod the motor dont they take you out of the stock class.

wave waker

as far as i know internal mod is allowed but no mod on carb and exhaust bore, motor and lower should be same manufacturer, no additional part attached to the motor like oiler etc, mods below cavitation plate like trimming is allowed..no no tuned pipe..3rd channel allowed as long as the original needle is attached..i can't think no more.

misshydro

Hay guys!! we got one more day to play with our boats before the white stuff come thursday!!!
