    Maybe staying in your lane is just something for the big boats but is it really a race if there's no controversy? Haha that was great stuff, thanks so much for taking the time to share all of this.

    Excellent video Scott. Informative, practical, educational, and entertaining! Sure you didn’t have to mix it with the jumper, but you were cut off illegally (in my opinion) by the looks of things. Anyway, great job and lots of point! Fast machine!!! 💪🏼😘😎

    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  หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

  • @rlb96
    @rlb96 หลายเดือนก่อน

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

    • @M5PerfHydros
      @M5PerfHydros  หลายเดือนก่อน

      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

      You can't ... Nova Rossi discontinued their marine engines a few years ago. CMB is a similar engine that is still available here www.hobbysupplies.com.au/CMB%20Engines.HTM
