Anybody ready for Wed testing?

[K.R.Joye]

Mr T has the key!

I hope so... I have my 2S1P N2 set up to test. I ran out of time to get bullets on my other packs, and create a parelle harness last night.

[indymike]

Here are some pictures of my 2 different set ups...

OK... I guess I can't upload anything.

I have stuff to play with. I'm still missing my 2s2p setup though. Had to order flux for LiPo. I really thought zinc flux would be a shelf item but NOT.

I'm predicting 6:00pm. It's supposed to clear off this afternoon.

Terry have you tested the boat on 1P yet? Thats one setup you should consider just prop down a little.

I have 3 boats ready to go (LSSH,LSSO & Open Cat)but if its just me we can put it off tell next week.

Is Fred working?

[indymike]

My Vac-U-Pickle is 4 lbs 4.5 oz with a 2S1P (flightpower 5000) setup

2S2P is 4 lbs 10 oz with 2x flightpower 3700's

Both are RTR minus hatch tape

It wont balance right. I made no provisions to run this particular boat on 1P.

[indymike]

Sooooooooo Are we still on or not?

[K.R.Joye]

Mr T has the key........

Nobody has anything to test? I guess were all set for the 4/26th race.

[T.S.Davis]

I have 5 packs charged and ready to rip. So, yes we are on. Gotta pick up Ty and go by the house so figure 6:00pm.

[indymike]

Saaaa....wwwwweeeeettttttt!!!!!! I have 2 packs charged and ready!!!!

[K.R.Joye]

See guys around 6!

[T.S.Davis]

No flips, no fires, no sinking boats, everything ran well and my son actually went around the pond in an oval like fashion. Life is good. Didn't catch any fish though. A litle cold for surface fishing.

OH! and Kens Scorpion powered cat. Holy smokes. Stable doesn't quite describe that one. Barely even breath'n hard too. It seems to really smooth out the faster it goes. Hey Ken, given any thought to putting a SAW setup in there? I'll bet we have some motors to take that hull to scary places.

[K.R.Joye]

Great seeing everybody(Fred, Indy Mike, Terry/Tyler) throw in some boats!

I had a blast! I New that was the scariest setup i've ever run right on the bench. Mike was joking it sounded like a turbine at full kilt! Like i said i think that Big Cat hull has another 10mph in it easy. Lookout SAWs & Nats Open O/S!

BTW looks like we will have some serious competition with the Club Spec classes. Mikes N-2 super smooth and fast! Terrys LSSH showing lots of potential, now get that N-2 Joule going!

Get your setups tested guys clocks ticking!

[indymike]

Thanks Ken,

I really liked the attitue of the boat especialy in the turns on the X435. I would still like to get the ride of the boat better, lower in the front and get the transom up. I think it's dragging at the transom too much. I will get it on a flat surface and get some measurements. At least I have a decent baseline to startwith.

[indymike]

What do you guys think, I could pull a X435 with no heat at all. Can I try a X438 next?

Mike,

Try a Y535 or a X435/3.

[K.R.Joye]

He had a 435/3 on couldn't believe how cold the motor came in.

X438 raise the strut a tad!
