You must share hull brand and setup. I've never seen anyone toss a boat quite like that lol

[dana]

Oops now I see the setup. What's the hull?

[sampit]

Runs great for such a big motor in a little hull, got me thinking might have to give this a go.
like Dana says what hull is it.

[Doby]

Its a bastardized Delta Force 26 if I remember it correctly.

[MAMBA2200]

thats one sick little boat you have there i too am interested in what hull that is you threw in the water like thatway cool

[chris]

Yes Doby is right. It started as DF 26. But then I got tired of retrieving boats and made some adjustments. She hates to be upside down.

+1000 on that i would love to know what you did

[Doby]

If you look at the first few seconds of the vid, you will see that the hatch (custom) is actually kind of egg shaped over the entire length that provides positive bouyancy when its upside down...that combined with offset to one side lipo packs inside the hull make for the actual "self-righting motion (98% of the time).

Love them or hate them...Chris's boats are fantastic runners (and butt ugly in my opinion)

Is the high point of the egg shape in the centre of the boat or offset to the right of the boat to give biase opposite the battery side.

Still working on it, I believe is number seven prototype, requires quite fine tuning to achieve balance versus time to recover. A small change in weight and sometimes ends upside down.

Forcing wipeout at 10sec mark

He has another that goes as well but, a little slower on UL-1 power.

Maybe If I ask really nice he will make me an upper deck to put on a DF26 I have.... Christmas is coming

I would still have to tune it myself.

This would be very good for me since retrieving stranded boats from a wheelchair is very difficult.

Go into production Chris! lol...
