The other one they sell is for the rcmk engines. This is what I have.

I'd have to drill and tap it i have a water pump on my boat port

 

[PortCityRC]

Yes sir, I had to tap and install a barbed fitting on mine. Run the setup you have for now as long ports are matching. It won't hurt. If you decide to dig for more performance there's more options on the table.

And thats what I'd like to hear

 

[Rep732]

Exhaust is fitted right. Talked to bonzi and they said to dremel the opening a little to get it to fit better

Also added stainless mesh to the rear vents because I didn't like that they were just open holes

hows this gonna be finished ryan ?
buff the crap outa the gelcote or wrap it ?

 

[Rep732]

I've been messing with various compounds and it will buff out. A friend of mine that does detailing said he can correct it if I cant

[Rep732]

For some odd reason i thought were getting a catamaran hull

Watch out if you leave the boat black with no other colors. It is easy to lose on the water especially if you get into shadows. I did this when a customer asked me to try his boat. I ran fine on front straight and down the back straight. Until I got into the upper right corner. Was afternoon now and there was a big shadow. I lost it in the shadow and than seen it again. After that I brought it back in. Told him not going to drive it again. too hard too see in the shadows.

Thanks Todd...no mark thought about the zelos then said na. Honestly I can't sugar coat the quality of the gelcoat its eventually going to get wrapped.

If you guys want to experiment with trying things. Make a 4 inch diameter air filter assembly for your truck. I only say truck because the Losi 5t has room. Not much but just. You will have to sew up your filter for it but it does run much better. Not a 4 inch that than steps down smaller to fit an adapter. But a true 4 inch diameter to face of carb all around it.

You mean like this hideous contraption

 

[TODD]

Haha but no. It still fits under the cage. I deleted that response because if someone doesn't do it right and has an issue it my fault. Not worth it to me.

 

[PortCityRC]

All good were all ears and a bit of a poke for fun, but sounds like not for his application or any with limited space

Rep I'd defer to Todd about the carb set up in boats... as far as I'm concerned you cant go wrong with the over bored carb as your looking for top end performance and peak rpm. Bigger carb = more air flow. There is a point where you can get too big of a carb but I don't think a 13.8mm bore would be too much for your set up.

Made up my mind and just ordered a 5ftx8ft piece of camo vinyl in a smaller print and a matte finish so the sun doesn't make it hard to track.. thanks @TODD for the tip on the black boat issue. Here's what I went with and im wrapping it myself
