4s and 6s riggers

[kacordy]

Tommy, here is more info and more pics

Gozilla XXL EVO yellow deep vee has a 2mm wire drive, Motor is a Viper 660 bb brushless, ESC is a Hacker 50 amp with timing set at 4 from manufacturer. I bought from extremedoc, now just MHz. 23 inches long


Mr. Krabbs, Motor is a Leopard 4 pole model 4082, I don't know if its a 2y, 2.5y, 3y or the 4d? Chris Fine said its 5 HP? I will have to research. I would like to make this a screamin 4s or might consider going 6s as long as its dependable and not high maintenance.
I want to minimize my chances of destroying this hull. I have a ton of hours building templates and hand cutting all the mounts
Out of carbon fiber. I bet you I have a grand already invested in this thing but its really awesome.

P-spec. Just bought and I have not run. I have a little work to mount booms and turn fin. I will run over Christmas vacation on my pond.

Sport hydro, I bought for 225 on rc universe, ran really well on 4s, hydra 120, and purple feigao, 1 and 3/8 by 2 and 7/8. My first 4s boat
Blew it over a few times and the hull has some damage. I will rebuild for the kids and visitors. I robbed the hydra 120 for Mr. Krabbs

I really want to concentrate on the riggers. If the sport hydro racing looks fun at the Nats I will just start from scratch and build
A new latest and the greatest.

ok well the Mr. Krabbs will be a great 6s rigger and the new one is already set up perfectly for a p-spec rigger. So what it looks like is u need to run the new rigger and do a lil research on the leopard motor and if it ends up being the 1.5y then it'll be perfect for P-hydro. Which is 4s.

Leopard

Tommy, I will do some research on the 1.5 and just run 4s for now. I might convert to 6s down the road. If I need to replace the 120, what would be the dream ESC for 6s? Here is more pics of my micros and my pond. I just moved the new dock under the catwalk yesterday. It's going to be an awesome platform for rc. I'm hoping the pond goes over the spillway this year. I have not been at full pool over the last couple of years.
It should go up another 6 feet. I looked at the Namba rules link you sent me. In February I will measure and set-up a 10th mile legal course for testing and some fun!!!!

Thanks, Allen

Is the rigger you bought from Diegoboy (Danny) a Rigged Insanity? I am currently racing my Insanity in D.12...

Tommy, I cannot remember where I got the above rigger. It's 25.5 long by 15. Send me a pm with address and I will send it if you want to build it. I just want to focus on the bigger boats. I ran the P spec yesterday for the first time. I'm very disappointed. I thought it would run hard right out of the gate. Nope, I bought some recommended props from suggestions off the forums. It runs about 25 mph and the motor has a bad surge in it. It won't pull the suggested props, and the motor RPM's go up and down. 1st experience with the ul-1 combo. I will try to prop it down today and see if it will wind up or if its bad ESC or motor. I just bought it from DiegoBoy. I'm going to send him a pm and see if he has some set-up suggestions. I'm 3/4 of an inch from the bottom of the hull to the bottom of the speedmaster hydro strut.
Pond is 3 foot from the spillway. It's going to be a great rc and fishing year!!! Please let me know what's up.

Kent, yes, I bought the rigger from Danny. I want to get this thing running. Do you have any set-up suggestions? Please read my post to Tommy on my 1st run attempts.

Thanks, Allen

Yes, there are a few things I did differently from the plans/instructions...the left side sponson is set 3/4" further out than the right side to create a better "foot" in the turns. Also am using a Mike Hughes Sundowner/ Spitfire turnfin (He makes them)...awesome fin for this rigger! The prop I am using is a Mark Sholund ABC H-7...works well with the UL-1 ESC/motor combo...just warm after heats...

Also, take the turn fin off, place the boat on a flat table....loosen the strut and drop it or raise it until the bottom of the tub is paralell to the table...that is where the strut should be set. 0 degrees...no neg. or pos. angle.

Take a look at "my gallery"...you will see pics of the rigger and setup there....lmk if you need cofg or measurements on anything...if you get it setup right it is a very well behaving rigger to run....runs about 50 mph

Kent, thanks for the help. I tried to run the abc h-7. It would not pull it on maiden voyage. I will follow your advice and update my set-up.
What battery are you running? My center of gravity is 12.5 inches forward, measured from the transom. I was using 2 3200's.

I am running 2 -2S (2S2P) 5000 35C Hyperion's....

Are you running packs with a 25C rating or better?

[Namba328]
