roads flooded-ran the r/c boat in front of house!!!

[mrcrsr]

just got the r/c boat running the other day-anyway our whole neighborhood is flooded-4 ft of water on some streets-what better thing to do then take advantage and run the boat in fron of the house!!!!

[mrcrsr]

a couple more, tropical storms do have their benefits!!

[Pro300x24LD]

htat thing shoots an awesome rooster!

[stokernick]

evry cloud has a silver lining!Looks like it's up on the pad!!

[mrcrsr]

you wanna laugh, my son and i installed a pad on that boat!!! there isn't enough distance here to really open it up, i was probably hitting 35-40 in front of the house!!!

[Forkin' Crazy]

Too funny!!! If you ever what another hull, Youngblood still has all his molds.

[c10seven]

HAHA That is awsome

[Vegas XT]

Cool pictures bud!!!That flooding sucks though...no school tomorrow.

[Tom Foley]

We think alike !!:thumbsup:

[capt.scott]

Charlie hook a GI Joe action figure up on the helm.Maybe one on a ski.

[SuperBoat Steve]

very cool , nice R/C boat.

Steve

[PARKER RABE]

that some funny chit right there

[mrcrsr]

ck out how deep the water is!! i couldn't take out the truck, so i took the quad out cruisin the neighborhood!!! the quad has a 2 inch lift and 27's, so it is fairly tall as quads go

[mrcrsr]

very cool , nice R/C boat.

Stevenice boats steve!!! how fast?

[SuperBoat Steve]

nice boats steve!!! how fast?

So far 61.1 on GPS with the wrong prop Chris AKA dasbota made me a new prop 85X15-3, this prop is big, looking for 65 MPH or more would be nice, I hope.
Expresscraft 65" GTX hull
Zenoah inlines total 52 cc 10.5 HP 18,000 RPM
It handles real nice at 60 MPH in a 6" to 8" chop
Would have been faster if I had used a stand off rudder setup.

What hull do you have and what engine you running?
WOW, that's alot of water in front of your house. Looks more like a big pond ! LOL

Steve

[mrcrsr]

its an old prather commander, i put a surface drive/rudder assy on it, it has a modded zenoah pum260 in it, i forget what prop, i need to look, because i don't think its been enough-the motor is up to full rpm within 10 secs of hitting the throttle

Looks like it runs real good. That old prather commander is built like a tank
it will last a long time. I had one with a K&B 60 nitro mid 50's if I remember
correctly.
Are you a RCU member ?
I'm Ultimate48 on RCU .

Steve

[mrcrsr]

that engine in yours looks hardcore!!! i ended up making a water pickup that goes behind the prop to pickup water for the engine, the pickup on the rudder didn't work well so i use it for the exh manifold, what did you do?

[mrcrsr]

what is rcu?

[SuperBoat Steve]

Ahhhhhh.... you got on of Raj's boats :D

[SuperBoat Steve]

Ahhhhhh.... you got on of Raj's boats :D


No this is not one of Raj's boats, I built it with some of his advice .
He was a big help, as you know he knows this hull very well .

Check out my build thread your on RCU I see you from time to time !

yeah, I still have my cat, but still have not run it yet. Still all new. I also have an Aeromarine canard and a Wareouse Hobbies old flat-bottom hull that I had Tony dig out the molds and build for me:

Man, that WWH hull is a piece R/C boating history .
I saw a guy in the mid 1980's running one .
I have video of him running it.
Slow, but looked like he was having fun!

LMAO :cheers: !!!

[flabum1017]

Yeah... i had one of the originals back in the '80's. Sold it some time ago and wanted another..... could not find one, so I had this one made. These are real fun to drive. I have an RCM drive for it and plan on putting a 5hp Zen in it.

[USEDPARTS]

I still have an original Aeromarine 21 Agitator cat, with any luck it will be just as slow as my Scarab.....LOL

RCM drive , I wrecked one with a SIKK 25 tuned pipe on it, in my EC cheeta .
Look at my S&F Avatar RCM drive on a Aeromarine Signature 57 it's wrecked too !

I think that drive can only handle a stock engine, but if you take it easy on it, should last a while ! I love that old WWH hull though.
Post a thread on RCU when you build it !

I lot of R/C boats are faster then real boats .
My R/C MTI cat is faster then my Superboat .
It is not faster all of real boats though ! :smiletest:
I'm NOT posting speed of this boat !
Oh sh.. here we go, " WHO"S boat is faster " WHAT !!! :thumbsup:

Steve

[USEDPARTS]

NICE!!!
You know I dont care...just looking for a good time:cheers:
I remember running NAMBA at heampstead lake with Dumas scarab when i was around 10 yrs old, come to think about it it was the little version of the "UNDERDOG" kinda ironic.....anyway it had the most tired OPS 90 in it( could have push started it) and was the slowest on the lake... wadda ya know I finished 2nd outta 6 boats, So fast dont mean chit..but finishing counts:p:p:p:p:p

[SuperBoat Steve]

NICE!!!

That's 100 % correct, you must finnish the race.
That's not easy in R/C boating world at all .
That's cool you raced there, I raced there in the early 1980's
Also raced at North pond too !
I had a Dumas Deep Vee 60 with a OPS 90. 77 MPH in a speed trap.
NO GPS at that time ! just old school time trap !
Looked funny to see that big boat going like it had a ride pad !

This is my favorite of all my boats ......but you cant run this one in the street !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets just say it runs just under triple digits in heat race trim !

[mrcrsr]

way cool!!! well, we're still stranded!!! the water hasn't gone down at all so looks like no work today, theres at least 3-4 ft of water in front of my house let alone the rest of the neighborhood, its flooded all the way to us1,this sucks!!!:nonod:

Hi Tom

Very cool rigger . looks like 80 to 90's are no problem there .
I never owned one but I help a friend build one over last winter .
I don't know the MPH of it yet, he told me it's fast.

Steve

[Tom Foley]

Yeah , basically if you hold it wide open , at the end of the straightaways you are in the 90's if you are propped right . The biggest challenge is your timing if you ran a much slower boat the heat before where you make a 30 second final mill lap to set up for the clock , with these you set up for the clock on a 15 second or less final mill lap , it's a friggin big rush for sure !! BTW I started in RC up in LI with Larry Sybkowski and the whole crew up there in 1981 , been hooked ever since !!:thumbsup:

[mrcrsr]

what do you find is the range of the radio in the r/c boats-at 90 mph you are covering ground quickly!

[SuperBoat Steve]

I ran at North pond , Springfield , Eisenhower park in the early 1980's
did you run there too !

Mostly in Freeport before shutdown and the Worlds Fair twice , then at a lake off the Wantagh parkway .

Radio range on water can vary with different radio's .
Range is shorter on water then land or sky .
I don't think speed has anything to do with range .
