There is a HUGE thread on the miss vegas on this site. You can see every thing from .21 motors to .32 size motor and what was done and what it took to accomplish it!! I will try and find the link to the thread.

DFB,

I see your fairly close to the Twin Cities..... Have you come to any of our club events? You can find a schedule at www.tcmbc.org. There are a number of guys who race the original Vegas's & the Deuce. They run .18 sized engines in their boats.

My Feedback: (1)

Here's a thought, go down to a Nova Rossi .12. It's a lot easier ot put in and has more HP and RPM than the stock engine.

If your really wanting the best speed and more performance, move up to sport 20, or get a rigger!!!

Ok....I am not trying to hijack this thread and I know this should be asked in the rc airboat forum, but,...just one quick question.....how bout an Axe Rossi .53on my Aquacraft Airforce?

DFB

Thanks for the impor guys! Where would be a good place (in your opinion) to shop for a new motor?

The OS CV-RMx .18 is the most common engine used to upgrade 15 to 18 sized RTR Boats, it's a good strong. dependable engine that when Properly Set Up and Tuned can push the vegas well up into the 40mph range.
The Go Engine .18 is also a Strong, Dependable Engine with a couple Upgrades done to it. It is much cheaper than the OS but not available in as many places as the OS. I'm running High 40's in my Hydro with the Go .18's on 60% Fuel.

The MACS 3.5 High Nitro Pipe has become one of the most common Upgrade Pipes used on these set ups and works very well when Cut at 8.5" inches measuring from the Stinger(Outlet End) Forward. Getting the Exhaust Properly Set Up and Tuned is one of the Biggest and Easiest Performance Upgrades you can do on these engines.

I Personally have had better performance from the OCTURA Props running the vegas, the Y535, M435\3 for Stock\Mild Mod Engine set ups, X437\3, X440, X440\3 For Mod Engine Set Ups. I run the X437\3 on my Mod .18 Hydro set up.

currently running a .25 with a copper 444 prop set at 1 inch with 25% nitro and she constantly runs 95 -100 kmh but shes a bit flighty in the turns

DFB

What brand is the .25?

2mad4u

its only a go .25 but it is a freek of a motor it revs hard and it produces lots of power its a good strong engine but the carby sucks

2mad4u

the go engine has 2.8 hp and revs to 35000rpm and its happy to sit on those revs all day but it likes to betuned a little on the rich side

amax

95-100kmh,,Thats around 59-62 mph Right?? Man I would Love to See a Video of That.
Is that the 3 port GO. .25 with the pull start or the Black Go Pro .25 5 Port, Non Pull Start??
Yea the .18 Go Engine Loves Lots of Fuel to, especially the side exhaust version.

2mad4u

yeh its the 3 port engine with reer exhaust i run an os8 plug match port manifold sealed the engine 3/16 FLEX SHAFT AND 444 COPPER PROP AND MAC PIPE . THINKING OF TRYING 3 BLADE PROP NOT SURE IF I LIKE THEM OR NOT BUT I DO RUN THEM ON MY OUTRIGGER

2mad4u

ON MY OTHER BOATS I RUN OS AND MAC ENGINES EVEN THO THE GO IS ONLY A CHEEP ENGINE I RATE IT UP THERE WITH THE BEST . NOT SURE ALL GO ENGINES ARE AS GOOD AS THIS BUT IM 100% HAPPY WITH THIS ONE AS THE VEGAS CANT HANDLE ANY MORE SPEED OR POWER THAN THAT IN MY OPINION. ITS A HANDFULL FOR A LITTLE LIGHT BOAT.

amax

If you like the 3 port you would really like the Pro version, the 3 port engines are the Base Line Engines and the get better from there.

DFB

Where do you guys buy your motors from?

2mad4u

my motor is a spare and the stock vegas motor was to slow for my liking i like going fast dont we all its adictive

2mad4u

the duce motor is way faster than the original vagas aquacraft motor
