Really great gear there as far as the motor goes, what's rad here is that you can be pinning it the entire time. This almost seems like flying. Also, what I have noticed about boat videos is that there has to be somebody actually doing rad video and FOLLOWING the boat. This is a really great thing that we almost never get with cars.
Hell yeah! I agree ☝🏽. It is so much fun to drive boats as well as off road trucks! I never got into flying though. Maybe one day. Thank you for the comments and thank you for watching. Cheers
Thanks you! Thanks for stopping by. Actually take a look at my more current videos. I have awesome boats that perform better than this one in my opinion. If you’re interested kindly take at look. Cheers
Thank you bro. Too bad these days are really weird but we are getting through it. I’m currently trying to make a video but it gets hard sometimes. Thanks for watching and stay tuned. Cheers
Oh yeah thanks dude.. that’s what’s cool about living in California-oh can BRAP and also go boating all in the same season lol.. anyway thanks for watching. And also i may come up to New York with Chris for the races in September.
That was a really cool video. This looks like a cool hobby to get into. I dont have a pond or lake near me but I do have a pretty big river about 4 miles away
Can't beleave the still have the rc boats there, guess maybe only one lake now, I grew up there In the 60's and us kids hated the boats, scared all the fish, one time In the early 70's me and a few friends went there and I had a cb. Amp and when I keyed It up boats would go crazy, run ashore and such, was funny, had a Palomar 300 watt amp and would kill the signal to the rc. boats, out grew that of course, plus things have gotten better now, but used to have a blast back then doing that and they had no clue.
Yes absolutely true. Love the sound of them. I just got a new one from Insane Boats. I took it out yesterday. See what you think: th-cam.com/video/R-69z_h-ma8/w-d-xo.html
hey man, I just subscribed to your channel. I've been watching your videos. I have a 40" electric and now wanting a gas boat. I like this one a lot. Where did you get it?
I'm restoring an almost identical boat I found at the garbage. But it's missing the propeller . Could you please give me a hint on what size prop should I use ?? Thanks. Regards
Take a look at my video here. I would use the exact same propeller I’m using. It’s from Prop Works. 3 blade. 7016/3 with a pitch of 390 or 400 or 420… just watch this video and use same prop th-cam.com/video/hiVcycBy4XU/w-d-xo.html
Lol you know what i would like to stick a big bore gas engine in one of my boats too but boats need marine engines so that they can be water cooled. I’m currently running 30cc gas in my boats. I have not yet seen something bigger than that that will rip... but I’m lookin’ lol. Cheers
Hey man yeah. You can’t run air cooled engines on boats. They will burn up. The water cooled marine gas engines definitely keep them in the right temperature 🤒 lol
The sweaty potatoe Meyer RC hey dude. This one in particular does not have a water pump but it runs water through lines from the rudder. The engine head has a cooling cap where water runs trough it from the lines. Pretty impressive engineering actually. Cheers bro
Love your videos man, I'm currently building my first gas boat 36in fiberglass hull bought off a guy that makes them up in Salinas Ca..I went with a 29cc zenoah clone to save some money. I'm just waiting for some last minute parts to arrive in the mail and I should be ready to hit the water within about 6 weeks. Problem is I'm up in Santa Barbara and there isn't any place around here to run my new boat except the ocean so I'm considering making a drive to Legg lake and I could use a buddy to take a. Second look to see that everything is done correctly. Maybe we could meet at the lake on a certain day? Email me if you're interested in helping me out with this. Thanks again for the awesome videos!
Hey dude yes of course i can tell you engine.. it is J&G top and Zenoah bottom. It’s a 29.5 cc and fully mod. So cylinder is ported. Thanks for watching and cheers dude.
big setup but bad perfs. You must change prop quicly, you are too slow! engines underused. put ABC 2716/20degres rak. And put more clearance beetween drivedog and strut.
That's actually a really well set up boat
Thank you!!! 🙏🏽
@@SmithRCStudioscan u list names of all parts needed
When I saw this boat in the thumbnail I knew I shouldn't click on this video, now I have a new addiction!!!
I want this boat!
Hahaha right. Hey at least it’s a good addiction (as long as you are responsible of course lol). Thanks for stopping by. Cheers
I just wanted to compliment you on your amazing drag boat! That there is true craftsmanship. Stay safe!
Thank you! I appreciate that. Cheers
So that is the famous Legg Lake...even on the East Coast its talked about...beautiful boat also...👍👍
Yeah! Love the lake. That’s cool the lake is talked about on the east coast? 👍🏽 cheers
Great and very fast Boat. You have a perfect Trim. Good Job.👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!!

Great job on the video. Beautiful boat, runs very well.👍

Holly crap..that boat is badass..i need one
Haha yes sir! They are lots of fun.
California is so awesome you guys have the best set ups for boats and 1/5 scale
Yeah. Just like this one here on this video there is 3 more lakes that we run boats. Love it. Cheers
Yeah, California is so awesome with all the crime, rising taxes, homelessness, etc…..!
Sounds good runs fast looks nice
Thanks you! Thanks for stopping by. Actually take a look at my more current videos. I have awesome boats that perform better than this one in my opinion. If you’re interested kindly take at look. Cheers
Zaebis, bro!
Excellent video

Thank you!! Have you seen the other boats? I like the new one by Insane Boats i featured a few videos ago. Check it out. Cheers
Absolutely fantastic dude 👍👍
Thank you bro. Too bad these days are really weird but we are getting through it. I’m currently trying to make a video but it gets hard sometimes. Thanks for watching and stay tuned. Cheers
That’s awesome 😎 my dude!!! Makes me wanna get a gasser boat for sure!!!
Yes they are so much fun. 😃
Very cool, you did a very nice job on that boat. This reminds me to work on my Dumas Scarab.
Thank you but the credit has to go to my good friend Aaron Foster. He hooked up the boat. Thanks for watching and cheers mate
Wow that boat is soo awesome bro I love it and sounds really good too❤
Bro awesome video ! Your boat is really nice and that engine/Hart you got in it is really nice as well and a screamer! That pipe looks bad ass too

Smith RC Studios 👍💥🤝💥
Damn this has been the quickest one I’ve seen on TH-cam so far nice job
Hey thanks for stopping by. Yeah i got a new one since this video was made. Check out here th-cam.com/video/xCRLas-sJ3k/w-d-xo.html
@@SmithRCStudioswas this one water cooled?
@@evinrudej yes they are all water cooled
So awesome
Thank you. Yeah i miss that lake. Great facility. Cheers
I didnt know im 5 mins away from this place lol.. hopefully you’ll be their this weekend
It’s a very nice lake set up for boating. Enjoy!
Bad ass boat coolest I have saw what motor and strut?
That was a really cool video. This looks like a cool hobby to get into. I dont have a pond or lake near me but I do have a pretty big river about 4 miles away
Rivers work just fine. Even if you drive an hour or so for a lake is fine, just make a day out of it. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers
Make sure you have a way to retrieve your boat if it runs out of gas or battery since River flows you would lose your toy.

Gas are fun and have long run times just as long as you have gas I've had one since 1996
Yes absolutely true. Love the sound of them. I just got a new one from Insane Boats. I took it out yesterday. See what you think: th-cam.com/video/R-69z_h-ma8/w-d-xo.html
Nice boat man! I am wondering, what is the full boat wieght? Can you tell me, thnx
The boat weighs roughly about 5-10 lbs. Not too sure since i never weighed it. Definitely not as heavy as my trucks. Hope this helps. Cheers
Nice !
Thank you
Where do you purchase a hull/engine combo like this? Are they still made new or do that have to be purchased separately? Thanks
This boat is from RC Boat Works. But everything was custom built by the guy who i bought it from.
I have the same hull you have and I'm building it from scratch. How far is your motor sitting back.
Motor sits very very close to the top of the open hull. Cheers
hey man, I just subscribed to your channel. I've been watching your videos. I have a 40" electric and now wanting a gas boat. I like this one a lot. Where did you get it?
This one came from RC Boat Works. But i bought it off a friend of mine. Cheers
Sick video i love the boat, what boat is it?
Scarab from RC Boat Works. Cheers
Quickdraw power
Cheers
Dude its a 2stroke engine. 😎✌
Yes i know. Cheers

@@SmithRCStudios wow .really thanks for your reply. I will have a look. Will check your channel also. Cheers !!
Hey so do you know what brand hull this is I have same style just don't know what brand it actually is
Hello. Well this one in the video is from RC Boat Works SCARAB. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers
You should've wide open nearly around the whole course. Don't be scared.
Would you happen to know if you can run 5th scale RC’s there?
Yes! I do it all the time! 😊
Nice! Just got into 5th scale. Purchased a 30 degree DTT. Going to have to make a trip out there.
Yeah you should dude. I love 5th scale. I just got a new engine last week from Bartolone Racing on my channel. Check it out if you want
I got a blast cat 40, should head out there sometime.
Nice! Very nice!
Maybe I should get a boat to put the 29 Rovan in that would be awesome 😎

What engine?
Hello sir, what's the size of propeller did you use? Is it 1/4 70mm propeller? Or what?
I would ask the same ..

Mantap

Not sure. But you can definitely get them online at bonzi, or Insane Boats. Great boats. You’ll love them. Cheers
What oil do you use?
Hello. On this boat i run Redline Oil at a 16:1 ratio. Cheers
@@SmithRCStudios ok thank you for the info!
Hi I am new to rc boats and I was wondering if u needed a permit to use your boat at Whittier Narrows
No… you can just run boats. I do recommend getting a NAMBA insurance though. Cheers
@@SmithRCStudios thank you
@@SmithRCStudios hey what’s a good rc remote
@@isaacgarcia9493 I recommend Futaba and Spektrum
Can you tell me what engine your running
Hey dude yes of course i can tell you engine.. it is J&G top and Zenoah bottom. It’s a 29.5 cc and fully mod. So cylinder is ported. Thanks for watching and cheers dude.
I need to finish mine the 40 year old engine started spitting metal shards
Haha yeah let’s get it back in the water soon!
I like this way more than the nitro stuff. Not nearly as annoying
Yep! These are fun!
Who makes the boat? Could I buy one ?
TJ hewitt hello dude. Boat is from RC Boatworks. Thanks for watching. Cheers
Whsts the hp and rpm of this?
Do not know the exact horsepower. But it certainly runs. The engine builder didn’t give me specs
I m getting sea sick
lol. Cheers
name engine bro?
I believe it is from Gizmo motors.
@@SmithRCStudios i don't see in stock Gizmo
@@twino6725 okay. So I’m not sure my friend.
big setup but bad perfs. You must change prop quicly, you are too slow! engines underused. put ABC 2716/20degres rak. And put more clearance beetween drivedog and strut.
Thanks for the support
