Hey dude! I got one of these boats today, my propeller flew off :(( That propeller that you have, do i just attach it? or are there other modifications that I'd need? Looks sick. The stock prop was a POS, i want some nice metal. thanks.
hi i need 3mm u joints for my mini-v but i don't want the stock ones cause i just got a 17t motor for it and i put it one with stock ones it was good for a while then it it just peeled off the plastic so can u please help
Thank you. I have a mini-c and I am going to upgrade it. Im going to use the same hardware but no the same motor. I am going to use the castle creation 8000kv micro motor.
Hello,sorry to bother you.However I'd just bought a minicat not out the box yet and I'm new to R/c boating.Where did you get your drive train,rudder,and etc? Thanks
where did you purchase the rudder set up because my u-joint in the back broke when i put my brushless set up in it. Also what do you suggest i do to set up my shaft so i dont break anything , i like your set up, all metal, very strong, thats what i need. all i need to know is where you got that set up. thanks for you help
I used the metal u-joint's and propshaft for the proboat shockwave 26 on my brushless mini-cat, worked like a charm! whole conversion to metal joints and proper driveshaft took 20 minutes and cost $25, check out my vid!
my mini v is not stable at half thortle but it is at full. im running some 5600kv airplane engine it chine walks really bad tho do u kno if lowering or rasing the drive wood fix that i dont wanna get a cat hull
I would start with a smaller diameter prop. She's walking because each prop blade is has too much bite. Which prop are you running, and which have you tried?
it was kinda a thing i did realy fast, right now it has been runnig a stock prop and other than that i have not tried anything. i ordered some stuff from horizon hobbys but it hasent arrived yet. how fast did your v hull go.caus eim guessing mines doing like 20 3/4 throtle on a 7.4 lipo
did yours ever flip in too rough of water casue im running mineat the lake with wind chop it probale isnt more that 3 inches at hte biggest wave i hit but i dont wanna swim after it tumbles
i took mine ut today and it is really fast i hope to post a vid soon it is crazy it bounces outof the water like 6 inches and f;ips like once every time i run a different battery. i seal it up with elctric tape.were did u get that u joint
yeah i got question i want one of these boats and idk if there is a diffrence between the miniV and the C but i also want to see if the megatech H20 racers are upgradble and worth getting.

are teflon tubing and brass stuffing tubes the same thing.
RCboatboy 3 years ago
No, the teflon liner goes in the stuffing tube, and the flex cable goes in the liner. If you opt for "no liner" then a smaller tube is required.
Diegoboy 3 years ago
Thank You!
RCboatboy 3 years ago
You're welcome

RCboatboy 3 years ago
3/16 K&S brass tube!

Holy crap that's impressive. VERY nice setup.
I was wondering about the stability of that hull. You've answered my question! lol
Have fun!
rccardude04 3 years ago
Sorry... I accidently deleted someones reply. It read something like this.
"What is the coupler you used and is it the same sized stuffing tube?"
The coupler is an Octura 1/8 to .098 flex hex coupler.
The stock stuffing tube was removed to install a 3/16 brass tube, to accomidate an Octura .098 flex shaft to 1/8 stub shaft.

did you have to waterproof the ESC?
does the ESC have reverse

I used silicone sealant on the ends of the heat shrink tubing (where the wires come out) and it doesn't have reverse.

I did this mod to the Mini-V and Mini-C. The Mini-C is more stable than the V. I have never had the H2O, so I don't know.

Good work buddy. Noticed that the lipos are 1250 mAh 15c. Can they handle the prop ok? Don't they baloon? Keep it up!
boxerdot 4 years ago
That lipo also powers my renegade rigger that has an X430. It doesn't last long, but it is always ready for more with a fresh charge.
