RE: Any Gas Outboards???
Hi guys, Some of you may have already seen these pic's of my inboard f1 tunnel, but thought I would post up again and add some interest to this thread. I have been running this hull now for about 6weeks, and still testing setups and props. I changed to this hotpipe from Don Shanks and it works really well. I originally started with a voodoo 6717/3, which ran well, but got a couple of new props from Brent, at propworks. These two props from Brent worked exceptionally well, better than I expected. My inboard, as other inboards, is obviously not the traditional F1, but mine handles and runs just like the full size boys, its alittle hair raising at times. I would love to build another F1 with an outboard scale looking setup, but there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of geared scale looking drives out there. Yes, Wades unit is a beautiful piece of machinery, but to far out of my budget. I know of the 2brothers geared drive unit, again very nice and I've heard it goes very well, but cost comes into it again. I'm not really a fan of the other legs like lawless, Morty, Youngz and even the the new insane leg. I'm sure these legs go well, but for me .... well, just don't like them. I think Mhz also have a geared outdrive now, with clutch or no clutch, but haven't heard feedback on that anywhere yet. I would love to see more F1 hulls offered and more options for geared drive units, this class can only go from strength to strength. That being said, I think its comes down to many things, but mainly, if you are having fun building a F1 inboard / outboard or running F1 inboard /outboards, who cares what it is, or what catergory it should fit in. As La-tiff said, [i]Inboard or outboard, doesn't matter, as long as it's a tunnel. [/i] [b]Fun is the name and fun is the game!!!![/b] I will hopefully try and get some vid of mine next club day to post up. Cheers Chris

RE: GAS F1 INBOARD TUNNEL HULLS
Mark Jordan hulls are very good and well built, and I am currently running one of them and another club member also has one too. We are both very happy with them and mine is getting better and better each time out. I have also found that I keep coming back to a 6717/3 prop, as its the best so far. Cheers Chris

Hi Lex, Awesome looking hull you have there, and the outboard leg looks great too. Those f1 hulls seem to be very popular and look nice on the water, thanks for sharing. Got any vid's of it running. Cheers Chris

RE: 46
Hey f1madness, Nice vid's of your boat, looks good. What props are you finding work the best for you ? I seem to be finding that 6717/3 works the best so far, but a dasboata 7015/2 works reasonable, alittle flighty at times, but not quite as good as the 6717/3. According to sources here, a 6518/4 is supposed to work well too, but I haven't tried that one yet. Cheers Chris

RE: GAS F1 INBOARD TUNNEL HULLS
Hi Guys, Seems this F1 inboard thread has died off abit lately, so time to resurrect it with some new pictures. I have just finished re-doing my F1 inboard and finished fitting new custom hotpipe to it, instead of the alloy WTC that I was going with in earlier posts. I have also added in some nacca ducts to the cowl, so I can get as much cool air in underneath as possible. A few minor adjustments and its ready to finally hit the water. Cheers Chris

Great looking hull Cheesewizz, well done. I sure do like these bigger hulls and love they way they handle. I too wish shipping wasn't so exspenive to get one. Look foward to seeing more vid and any updates with your hull. Hey Mart, you build a very nice Apache hull and this white one looks awesome!!! ..... good price too.

RE: GAS OUTBOARD guys this is our new home
Hi Dom, unfortunately I don't have any spec's on this unit or know who or where they will be doing there testing. I have just really been in contact with another forum fanatic who was intouch with Arrrowshark and was informed of this units development. He has had a few emails from Arrowshark and Johhny stating that they want the outboard to be of good quality, reliable and that is why it won't be released until its fully tested and tried. I completely agree that it will most certainly add value to the f1 outboard fraternity and allow the scale minded modellers out there a chance to achieve a build that they may have been puting off due to lack of products or cost. I would certainly love to buy one if its of good quality and the internal gears stand up to the punishment that they will no doubt recieve. Fingers crossed it all works out. Cheers Chris

RE: GAS OUTBOARD guys this is our new home
Hey guys, just thought I'd show these photo's of the new Arrowshark geared outboard leg due out in about 2-3mths. This could be a good thing if the quality and reliability is there and cost is very appealing to at $535 per unit, lower only. Cheers Chris

RE: gas outboard
Hi Wade, site looks great and you have a definite winner there with your outboard and different size lowers, well done! I will ask the question that I think many will want to know. Will you be selling the lowers by themself without motor or only as RTR ? Thanks and keep up the great work. Cheers Chris

SO WHAT? its what i do, its no secret, my race bikes are surrounded by boats, they sit right in the middle of the shop, just went boating yesterday if you must know, oh and the day before, and it was not even the week end, man life is GOOD,HOW CAN IT BE BAD YOU CAN GET THAT AWESOME 65'' CARBON FIBER GTX FOR 350.00 WOW now thats a sales pitch. [/quote] Not to take sides here, but Tom ..... thats a great price for a big hull and in carbon fibre too. I just wish shipping wasn't a killer as I am starting to like driving these larger hulls more than the smaller ones. Wantariva, what ever direction you go with the build and engine choice, remember the main thing is to enjoy it and create something that you will be impressed with everytime you look at it.
