    Damn! That is a well balanced boat! That jump out and flat landing was amazing. Tell me about the weights on one side. Is this to counter balance the Turn Fin side?

  • @M5PerfHydros

    @M5PerfHydros

    2 ай бұрын

    I added the weight late in the season last year to balance the boat better in rough water. It makes the nose pound a bit in mid-range speeds which makes it a little tricky to drive, but it's helpful to keep the boat flying level at full speed. I have some sponson design changes that I used on my last Eliminator build series that I believe will minimize those issues whenever I get around to building Stroh 2.0

    I never took the drive shaft out of the ’71 Pak the entire time I ran it in ’07 and ‘08. I just stuffed some grease in the back hole and hoped it was good enough.

    Why do you guys run clockwise. My local club runs counterclockwise like the full size boats.

  • @M5PerfHydros

    @M5PerfHydros

    2 ай бұрын

    Engine rotation. Nitro and gas engines rotate the prop counter clockwise which creates a lifting force to the left sponson. If we made hard left turns all the boats would simply flop over. The electrics can go either way, but we run ours the same direction as the fuel boats to keep things consistent
