New Stealth hydro

[phil t]

I finally got the newest Stealth hydro done.
This boat has some changes to the bottom. made the transom a bit wider to meet NAMBA rules. This will be good as it should be a bit more stable at speed. I removed the front steps inside of the sponsons and flattened the tunnel floor to kill more lift.

That one is sold, I have one more in the mold you can buy that one. Paypal $245 for the boat and shipping to supersport45@aol.com

I am sure that will be a great hull, but I think I will hold off.

Check out this setup.

Phil, You need to start supplying turnfins and bracket. The Virginia Craftsman Sport 20 fin is verygood, but a real bitch to get one.

Yes but they are goodies, Go to David Pruesse he has very good turn fins for sport and rigger boats.. cdrace@rocketmail.com

OK thanks, what motor and esc is that I need a good fast motor and esc that will work in P sport

I am only familiar with the Neu 1515 1y 2200kv and Hydra LV 240 esc combo, but there are other cheaper combinations avaliable thru OSE.

That's the boat I built for the recent nationals. The picture has the P power system in it. Motor: Castle/Neu 1415 w/5mm shaft. ESC: water cooled Castle Pheonix Ice 200 Lite (I drive stick radios). Batteries: Paralleled GrimRacer 4S 4200's.

It wasn't quite dialed in at this point in the event (read that as couldn't consistently finish a heat right side up). It got lots better by the end. Ended up 3rd in P-Ltd Sport with 3 wins and a DNS. It also set a new 2-lap record that Sunday at 27 seconds and change.

Tyler's yellow boat is the twin to this one. Same deal, not dialed at the beginning of the event, but very good by the end. He took 2nd in P-Ltd Sport and set a new P-Sport 2-lap record at 23 seconds and change.

I like the changes. The new boat should be even better.

I'll get some more pics of the setup on this boat. We used a turnfin design very similar to what we run on the Raptor Rigger.

Thanks Brian, good feedback on your build and changes for the rule led to this new bottom.

Setting 2 lap oval records with a new boat is great, and in both P sport classes. The 497 boat was your boat?

That is Brians hull #497

Here is a shot of mine and Tylers as well...

We definitely were getting them dialed in by the end of the event...

Knowing what I know now, I'd definitely consider building another one with the changes noted....

Brian and Darin,

I would be curious to see your layouts in a top view. I have been running a GrimRacer 45X68 (ABC H5). I too spent a lot of time trying to keep the boat on the water. I finally managed to calm it down with a deeper than normal strut (with angle) and LOTS of lead in the tips and at the CG. I am running 2 2S GrimRacer 5000's. Eagle tree is telling me that my set up is currently averaging 80-90amps with 150amp spikes and is running high 40's low 50's on any given day (Eagle Tree GPS has topped me out at 55mph). Amp draw is a little high for me, but don't want to give up the speed. The class is too competitive in our club and they are all hot on my heals.

I noticed the motor much further back in Brian’s boat than mine. However, that would make sense to me if the boat was handling double duty. However, I am curious how you get the CG far enough forward with your Limited set up… UNLESS you’re running the same paralleled 4200’s in both classes?!?!?!? (I just thought of that while typing).

Some picks of my set up.

Later,
Ball

This boat has some changes to the bottom. made the transom a bit wider to meet NAMBA rules. This will be good as it should be a bit more stable at speed. I removed the front steps inside of the sponsons and flattened the tunnel floor to kill more lift.

By flattening the hull floor I bet there is less interior room. This will be a perfect LSH hull.
