Hi there, where are your High & Low screw settings in relation to the screws being completed closed? I have a KOS boat and it will idle in the water, but stalls once I hit the gas. Any thoughts? Thnx.
Can this be converted to electric?, im not happy with the gas reliability with mine.......it overheats in 30 seconds, and i go full throttle when its in the water and it only idles then cuts out.....any advice? tuning isnt doing anything......
Ha Ha, Yeah, when it happened it was one of those "Did it just do what we think it did?" moments. It happened so fast. That was a great day. I haven't had that much fun in a long time. We're looking at doing a cross lake race next summer.
I have the Segad (same boat different graphics)... bad rudder design, but other than a great good looking boat for the money. A three blade prop is a must!
Thats awesome, but whats more impressive is the craft you were in!! could only hear the R/C, nothing from the boat you were in!! lol, nice toy though. I want one.
A clutch will allow the boat to idle in or out of the water with out the prop spinning. When the RPM of the motor hits a specific RPM the clutch will engage and the prop will spin. It's the same principle as a clutch and clutch bell on a nitro RC car. You can fit a clutch on the KOS and Segad. It's a tight fit but it will fit.
Little boat did pretty good. Quick question tho, was it going full throttle? And, what kind of engine is in it? It sounded a bit rich for a 3.5/6.5/7.5. Love the design tho!
Yeah, the KWA motor is a beast. It loves smooth water and will reward you nicely. Chop gets fun and a little dicey. The whole air under the hull principle multiplies with the KWA because instead of 40 mph with the stock setup your in the high 50's low 60's with the right prop.
It will handle chop just fine but you have to be really quick on the throttle as the wind can get under the boat, make it light and get it airborne just like the real thing. Don't ask us how we know this. = )
Thank you all for the great feedback. We had a lot of fun making this video. I have almost another hour of footage to sift through and we'll have some more up soon! -Vanceman, The boat was 100% stock right out of the box, in fact, we broke the motor in that morning! The only thing we tweaked was the drive line and prop angle, it took us under a minute to do. We'll have more up soon!
WOW! This video is excellent to see the running attitiude and should more than help sell this beautifully detailed boat ...especially compared to the first videos. Nice job! The fact that it recovered so quickly from the potential dunk was great, too, albeit in relatively calm water. I'm curious if that was a Stock/ Factory trim setting or did you guys tweak it a bit?
good job filming.. it's hard to hold a camera that steady on a boat.

@Siris74 high speed needle 1 3/8 - 1 1/2 out. Low speed needle 1 1/8 - 1 1/2. You should be very close if you are in these ranges.

@tommybuddy69 Hey tommybuddy69, the boat goes about 40mph out of the box or perhaps a little faster depending on elevation and engine tuning.

We just put the big motor in my buddies, it is sick. If you aim the prop a little lower it will pick the bow up a little.
