Maritimo build

[wolf IV]

8XL on 4S with a x640 prop with medium timing rocks, if you don't push it too much you could try higher timing. - but could get smokey.

Besides, what's wrong with 50mph? Oh, right, its not quite 60. I will try to get footage, but it really handles like a dream - until the dolphin dive... we got booted off of perfection pond by some buzz-kill lady sayin it is private - although there are NO SIGNS... maybe she thinks it is HERS.

thanks for the set up jesse!! ill stteel it, i give up 3 esc's later and two motors;0..

New props

OK Wolf , What are these props you are trying , You have got me very interested. I'm still waiting on my new cell / props for the Simrad. So looks like I'll be chasing your speed times. If you do a vid put the camera on a side angle , will give us a better idea on how fast it really is. Good luck dude . BONEWAR

[wolf IV]

[wolf IV]

[domwilson]

Cool. Can't wait for some vids.

[wolf IV]

Yes, back cut and detounged.

[domwilson]

Ok. The extra pitch will help with the top end with all things considered. Will he detongue them as well?

[wolf IV]

i thought you were getting the x447 cut down to 45mm?

THIS IS THE PEPLY FROM AANDI AND MY CONVERSATION ON THE TOPIC."Yes, but I wll cut the 47's to 42mm. If I don't the amp draw will go too high. I watched your boat accellerate. You don't need anymore blade area...just a little extra pitch."

[wolf IV]

Your new shafts were mailed Saturday to your specs.

Found some new solder with 38,000# shear strength. Staybrite is only 1/3rd that. Forget all the non cadium crap....this is where the strength comes from and 8% silver....might need to have a gas mask but going to get some for cables. It is the cable that needs so much prep for good sticking...not the SS shaft.

Post a link to the vid...I do not find it.

Well i thought id give an update to 70 mph goal: Jeff wholt's fabbing two new shafts , they will be sent out to ed hughey for soldering /flex's & chuck egneg is working on a set of x442's detounged just like the old ones that hit 66.7 mph, and a set of 40 mm abc 3 blade props. Andi brown is also working on a set of x447's cut down to 42mm with a couple deg. Added , detounged and backcut.. Sooo, it looks as if ill have some testing to do... 70 mph here she comes!!! Will video in the next few weeks as testing developes. I can't wait.
