Cool! Miami Vice was a badass movie! I dig those boats.

trickedoutTLT06 · 08-06-2007, 05:50 PM

yeah miami vice was kickass, but I wish you'd build another crawler I loved your buildups :-(

skidooguymxz550 · 08-07-2007, 08:32 AM

skidooguymxz550 · 08-07-2007, 11:11 AM

what kind of pricing? i'm assuming you use viynl?

skidooguymxz550 · 08-09-2007, 04:29 PM

ok. i got the strudder mounted and the motor mount in. my blow torch is up north so i'll do the tube then. i'm going to put the servo mount in and get her painted up..
just the yellow and white will be painted. the decals have to wait till i get my own motor

trickedoutTLT06 · 08-09-2007, 04:39 PM

LMAO..the fly's chillin in your pic

looks nice, btw, get anything done on the BL snowmobile? that thing was blangin..

skidooguymxz550 · 08-09-2007, 04:46 PM

yeah, that little fly bitch has been bugging me like crazy all afternoon.

i forgot i even had the sled. i gotta find a small chain drive for it as the belts and pullys chred each other

skidooguymxz550 · 08-09-2007, 11:18 PM

yeah vinyl, ive done all our race boats. heres a couple of them

skidooguymxz550 · 08-10-2007, 11:03 AM

good looking boats!! how big is that first one?

let me get some dimensions and we can talk decals.

i plan to get her in the water tonight, all i got to do is mount the stuffing tube and drop in the power

STANG KILLA SS · 08-10-2007, 11:22 AM

there both 45"
first one is a aeromarine avenger, the second one is a aeromarine cyclone

skidooguymxz550 · 08-13-2007, 03:44 PM

well i got her running and she runs pretty darn good. very fast and stable in the straights. turning sucks but my wiehgt balance was way off so thats understandable.

i had one blow over but i was running full throttle into the wind. she rode her prop right before the blow.

what i don't understand is why the motor was getting so hot. i was running a fieago 14xl with a 42mm prop on 20cells with a water in a abs boat and she would barely pass the 5 second test. this boat doesn't shoot a rooster like my other boat. is the prop to deep? would that cause the overheating?

i love the look of this boat as it bounces over small boat wakes along the beach. it's cool look to see how real it looks and hear people ask "is it gas?"

STANG KILLA SS · 08-13-2007, 03:50 PM

get a shorter bracket for the rudder, thats your problem.
at least we found that to be the case on our 45" boats, your smaller ones may need it for stability.
our rudder sits 1-2" off the transom, weve tryed them 4" back and it looses all its steering. of course we run offset rudders, (not behind the prop) so were able to get it alot closer to the transom

skidooguymxz550 · 08-14-2007, 10:52 PM

it steers sharp sometimes but it also barely turns at others. it seems to like gradual turns at full throttle but it still spins out on occasion

'83 chevy · 08-15-2007, 08:39 AM

A turn fin will help with the spinning out, but also affects your turning. I ran my mini v without one and it would always spin out, added a turn fin it stopped spinning out, but the turning radius was increased.
