    Dang, you got yourself a runner there! It was certainly worth the effort to rebuild it. That's some great driving, your nerves must be jangling racing like that. I'm sure it's harder than it looks. This was a fun watch too, btw...

    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!!! 💪🏼😘😎

    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.

  • @ModifiedRC0877
    @ModifiedRC0877 6 месяцев назад +2

    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  6 месяцев назад +1

      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

      A four inch prop?!? I have no idea

  • @rlb96
    @rlb96 6 месяцев назад +1

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

    • @M5PerfHydros
      @M5PerfHydros  6 месяцев назад +1

      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
