Proboat 1/8 scale miss budweiser hydro build

[Markcarr]

These hydros are only meant to turn right.
that's why they have that oversized turn fin on
The right sponson. Killer boats

 

[Rep732]

Yes turning right was still challenging but like I said i wasn't going flat out making the turn

 

[Milo]

Have you got a rescue boat?

 

[spents]

so is turning right only the reason the rudders offset the the left then ?

 

[Rep732]

@Milo not yet still working on that and Paul if I had to guess I would think so.

The boat doesn't like coming out of a turn to go straight I can say that much I saw the bottom of the boat when I did that

I hear you. They ain’t cheap and I wouldn’t want to spend money on secondhand one unless it was from someone I know and trust.

2 x turbines of descent quality with ancillaries will hit you for $4-5k I’d imagine and that’s just engines, you’d need to get props, Carbon Kevlar hull and flex drives, blah blah. Speed ain’t cheap, but I can’t think of a better use for turbines. They are poop in planes and ok in choppers but I always think I’d kill myself with chopper when I mixup the controls for a split second. So boat wins.

Get saving Rep.

I'd let go my 30.5 gizmo billet full mod if you haven't already picked up an engine for this project.

Update: going electric on the hydro and something off the wall im putting a castle mamba X 8s in the boat. Yea yea its not for a boat its for a land rig blah blah but im going to use the intake on the top as a ram air and make a funnel toward the motor and esc in the boat.

If anyone wants a basically brand new g260 pum I got one

 

[DougStar]

Like me about any and everything

No Z he's dug now ....idk how I feel tho about the boat going faster than say 45 to 50 because I watched one on YouTube and the thing went flying and looked like it got destroyed when it hit the water.. seems this boat is guaranteed to blow over ...it handles like poo when it's not going flat out and the lack of a clutch isn't very comforting either

This boat is a "double" wing or some crap
