Insane Boats P-Spec Sport Hydro 1st run with Vid !!!

[Flying Scotsman]

The prop is an H 6 thats been pitched up. This prop works really good on the spec set up but is to agressive for my motor. As you can see in the video its doing a lot of hopping and skipping across the back strait. I'm loosing a lot of speed because of that. The turn fin and bracket is stock hardware you get in the kit. I really recomend you guys get the hardware package Jeff offers when you order the boat. Install couldn't be any easier and was made to work with this boat.

Intersting, I thought that motor was a bit too much, but thank you for showing the end result and all other setup comments.

Darin, I 'm well aware of the 80% rule. I went to the lake with intentions to only do a couple of laps to show the boat off. My hydro 240 doesn't fit and I was borrowing the speed controll I was running and didn't have time to make a Y. I will be running 2p when I get another controller to run. Here are a couple of more pics how I layed the boat out for 2P and were to install the hardware.

Feeling pretty good about the red one I ordered!! Nice looking boat.

Ok, I need to go ahead and get a prop ordered. I plan to put a neu 1515 1y with a turnigy 180 esc (if it will fit). Could someone give me their best shot on what I should start with (like something fast, but not on the edge of blowing the esc etc.).

I currently have x440,x442,x642,x640 and a x645. I would be willing to pay a bit to get a really good prop for this boat, just point me in a direction please...thanks.

An X640 would be my start point with no prior kowledge of the hull...the egg man may help you out and lads that have run the hull. Yes. I did buy a mangled prop from a master prop mangler

Jim, I run the 1515 1Y/Turnigy 180/4S2P in a H&M 31" Shovelnose hydro ; have run a 642, M445 tip-cupped & now run an M545 with good results. For max speed you may try one of Mark Sholund's [Props 4-U] H-5's or H-6's with his magic touch - tell him you want one like he made for Mark & me. Probably safest with a 642 with 1P. On 2P you can go bigger & still have good runtime. Both Mark and myself tune for racing so longer runtimes [ over 2.5 min's] aren't a thing.

Here are some more pics taken today of MarkF and his red Insane Hydro. I included a picture of the 3-bladed prop we were experimenting with. The final picture shows the interior of the Insane with the Neu 1527 and a Leopard 4074 on one side and the new GIANT Leopard 5692 on the other side. Mark seems to think the GIANT Leopard, at 1 lb 15 oz, is a bit too heavy and too much torque for this hydro. However..... I know someone is bound to try it!

Here's the prop for the Leopard 5692.

Electric, if your interested I will sell you my H6 for what I payed for it. I don't run spec and now I'm going a different direction on props for my boat. Pm me.

I ran my boat this morning with a Phoenix Ice 100 controller in it. I think this controller is faster than a Castle 120. The controller is not water cooled. I haven't set of the data logger yet. The controller did come in at 145 degrees and the UL1 motor was just 108. I'm still running the X447 - backcut, detungued with the tips rounded. This is by far the best handling boat I own.

that 5692 is huge!
do you have any speed numbers with the 1527?

Greg, being a modest and true gentleman neglected to mention that his first race outing with his Insane UL-1 motored FE 30 took first place in all three heats of P-Spec Sport Hydro, nearly lapping the field. Way to go, Bro' !

I sure hope a few of you are going to make the Nats in Colorado this year. Would love to see those things in person.

Mark,

Looks like you got that boat moving not only down the straight away but also in the turns.

Insane Boats is working hard at getting these boats out. Thought you'd enjoy this pic of the 30" rack
