Anyone Into Unlimited Hydros?

[Aros]

Great info, I will look into those things. My builder had a prop recommendation I will have to go back and check what that was.

[Clugh]

Glad you found the drivers you needed. I can't speak on Bill Brant's recommendations because I don't know what props he's using.. That will dictate the current draw. I'd clarify what propellors he is using for 10s lipo.and approximately 29,000 RPM. Wonder are the boys in WA detuning the FE's to run with nitro boats in their clubs.

Okay I'll have to check that out...That was the recommended setup from Rattlesnake RC (Bill Brandt) so I would be surprised if he recommended an underpowered ESC?

Good news, I found a driver. Perfect!

Thanks! The motor is listed as "SSS 850KV Combination". The ESC is "Hobbywing 130HV ESC". Not sure yet on battery size? I suppose I should try to figure that out! lol...

I didn't ask Mike about a driver, does he have those? I just assumed he was decals only?

I think he can source you a driver. Just ask...

A 130 amp esc seems a little low BTW. I think youll need at least a 200.

That is going to finish out nicely Aros. What motor and esc are you running? How many cells? Did you ask mike about a driver for it? Also dont forget your turbine stack.

Happy to report the build is finished! He did a masterful job. Super pleased. All that's left for me is buying the radio, prop, receiver, and painting/decals.

Mike McKnight is the guy I am using, lol! I am happy to report he responded to me today, said he had two big jobs to finish and mine should be sent out soon. Thanks again for your help!

Also, any idea where I could get a nice 1/8 scale driver? The one's I've seen so far are 3D printed and open face mask. My first 1/8 Pak, someone custom designed the driver and did a fantastic job using proper materials, etc.

Mike McKnight does great work be patient.

I have a decal set I have paid for, just waiting for shipment. He's less than communicative which makes me nervous. Who is Wesleys and Kevin Ross? Any website links or contact info? Just in case my guy flakes. Thanks!

Thanks! I'll pass that along to the builder. He's finishing it up and I should be able to pick it up in a few weeks or so. I'll be responsible for priming/painting/clearing and decals.

Wesleys does a great decal set but so does Kevin Ross if he still does it. You can paint a pak though no decals. Here's a link to another build you mite like.

Beautiful build brother! I like that alot!

[Aros]

That's great! Love the homage to the Circus Circus! What year is that 3 wing? Love the CF as well. Here's some photos of the build of my 82 Pak. I think my builder is beyond tired of me as I am super picky about scale details but he is doing an excellent job. Very lucky to have found him.

The starting pieces for the carbon fiber 3 wing which is a special hull that truly not available. I worked with RC Hydros to put me something together I can make work.

[Clugh]

I like sport 40 size hydros too. Here's my sold away Phil Thomas Super sport 45
Mine had a castle 1717 on 6 s lipo with a Castle HV 200 Hydra V2 and an octura X452
I had a Virgina Crafstmen turn fin and should have not should the boat for how well it ran.

A cad rendition of the 2 wing with salt snorkel I found online.......
