Damn, somebody's got themselves a little rocket ship on their hands!

At 2.9LB she does pretty good I guess. Thanks for all the help on the build Ron,Mike and others.

how fast will it go at full-throttle... at the end of the vid it seemed to have disintegrated....did it survive??

unclecrash

Speed Im not sure I would guess mid fourties. I have no gps or radar gun. Its still alive but it almost bit the dust. I was trying to get some decent corner footage when I here my buddie cuss at me saying I got him wet so I took my eye off the boat for a split second and that was a no no[sm=eek.gif] I was heading hard for shore when I cut it hard left it just spun out only has a right turn fin.

Still going good I see! Have you ever raced it?

NWDave-RCU

What engine, pipe, and prop are you running?

mrfixitwhite

OO thats going gr8!
if you go any faster you'll be getting the front wet from the rooster from the last lap!!!
makes me want to run mine .. but i've whipped the .40 out and stuck it in a rigger im building-im 3/4 ways through it!

Gotta love that roostertail its pumping out. You need to throw in a few bench photos of your hull and hardware and some setup notes.

unclecrash

Hey Jetpack hows it going. The boat is 24in. long Balancing at about 7-1/2in from transom. Running fullers gear. Its running a stock OS .18cvr with 30percent heli fuel. Cant wait to pump here up to 50% boat that will have to wait till next year Strut is set neutral. Prop is a x442 I sharpened and polished. I still havn't had time to mess with the finish so she is still bare.







Here's a link to the build for those who didn't catch it. Build starts on about page 4 http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=5939676&key=

Hey Mike Havn't raced it but would like to. My friend who got me in the rc plane club wanted me to be his partner in 07 but couldn't scrounge the extra money after joining the plane club. After seeing my boat run on Pontiac Lake he went to one of the big boat races in Mi. I got a call from him telling me we should be racing it. I asked him why he said that he believed that there was probably not a boat in the .21 class that he had watched that would even stay with it. But I will never know till I get to race it.

unclecrash

Hi Mr fix it glad you found the video. Did you see the big rigger I purchased

Ron Olson

My Feedback: (1)

Actually you would give the .21 monos a run for their money! I didn't know until you stated earlier that it only had an .18 as I could have sworn that it had a healthy .21 in it!
If you race it, I just gotta be there!

unclecrash

Hi Ron I never seen the .21 mono's run or any boat races other then on the net so I was kind of doubting my friend but sure would be fun to see what it would do. If i can keep it on the water. This is the first time I got a chance to run it since the last vid in the bit of chop and after dialing the strut in after noticing it was a bit positive and running real loose. I need to get it on a bit of chop again and see how it will do.

hay underflash I know I could beat that boat with my shockwave and no prop

unclecrash

Hey no name calling allowed in here Buddie[sm=lol.gif]

.18 CVR?? Looks like it is moving out pretty good to me. I don't know much about monos, but even still sounds a little fat after it passes by (no idea though...since a different pipe may be making it sound different than I am used to).

Sean

unclecrash

Yup stock .18 it could be the heli fuel making it seem fat and probably is a bit fat. The boat has only seen the water a half a dozen times or so!! Its hardly broke in. Im going to run some 50% thru it next year and maybe race it.

mrfixitwhite

Hi yes i did see your rigger purchase!
i reckon though if you'd built it it would have been just as good coz thats one nice boat you got there!
although i did blink right at the end of the vid and missed the spin out- i caught it on the second viewing- phweew that was lucky
gotta see you run the rigger now!

unclecrash

Special Thanks To MR FIX IT WHITE If it wasn't for him helping me with the software and video card I would still be sitting here scratching my head and pulling my hair out. Ya the big rigger is supose to be a beast. I hope to have it ready for spring. The little wildthing is a fun little boat. Yup luck was on my side that day. I didn't think he got it on video.

mtruex

very nice boat..seems like theres a bunch left in it if you can keep it on the water.i have a 29 inch mono with an 18tz in it, it runs in the 50s consistently. i had the best luck with 3 blade props, 437/3 and 440/3 with the tounges cut off..they were much more stable and a little faster for me..i ran it with 50% nitro and stock head clearance with a cold plug ,p8 for turbo head air cooled, and mc9 for water cooled standard plug head..i think it runs better air cooled tho..maybe this can help you a little, cool boat though man, nice job..

unclecrash

Thanks mtruex. I hope next year I can get some more time to play with it. Its barely broke in. Im going to run some 50% in it and play with some different props,check head clearance and try to get a gps so I can get some speeds. And maybe race if my name calling buddie( Bladebender ) wants to run a few races. He is still dreaming that he can beat me with his stockwave I mean shockwave.

mrfixitwhite

no worries
glad to see you could make use of it
might have to try another build only i might try sticking the sc.21 in it after i get a new carb for it
i couldnt run a boat that fast any way -i dont have enough water [&:] lol

unclecrash

No lakes by you? We have tons of water around Oakland County.
