it is fun. i run in salt water because i happen to live near the ocean...
and if you have looked at my other videos they are edited very nicely. this was one of my first videos and i didnt bother editing it as it didnt need it...
its my recovery boat becuase as you can see my boat was having some difficulties so i needed to go get it all the time so it was just a easier launch platform...
nice rc boat...sounds like it needs an idle adjustment. when it's running it sounds good. nice paint too. a push button starter is also nicer than the pull string. They are a bit expensive to put on an rc boat, but well worth it in the long run. nice boat, good video. keep up the good work. it's a really fun hobby!
dont know if you got the problem solved or not but you may need to turn up the idle a bit, or possible low speed jet is off. also keep a good clean spark plug handy. two strokes somtimes fowl out quick depending on fuel mix and quality of oil. great use of old parts. keep on buildin
Nothing seems to work for this guy, his rc boat keeps stalling, his real boat engine stalled for unknown reason and he does not even care about his girlfriend ^^
A prather 270 isn't enough prop for a surface drive homelite. Try a 275 or 280 prop, the prop has to be balanced and sharpened to perform properly. Get it tuned up and go.
LOL, I think you need a 2nd rescue boat. It's good you have one. I had the same mishap and had to swim nearly 400m out to the freezing water with my suit on to rescue mine, funny!
I wouldnt mind getting her camera wet : )

@55cuda the guy i bought the boat from had machined it him self.
basically cut the fins off the head and put a top seal and a bottom seal on and machined the cup to bolt on...

i have an old weedwacker and i was gonna make an rc boat like yours. DO i need to make my motor water cooled, a weed wacker is air cool so
bigchief926 2 years ago
you dont need to but its highly reccomened...
especially if your running long and hard
and depending on the type of boat if its open to the air like mine is then you dont have to have it water cooled i just do becuaes its better
but if you have a canopy on the boat then defintally water cool it
its pretty simple you can buy water jackets and i just use a oil pump from a outboard engine which runs of crank case pressure...
made my evinrude i think

maybe more cuase its got a stuffed crank case
and a bored head...
but its all fun so who cares eh :D
i bought this from a guy who had built it from the ground up and it was partially dissasembled and i built it back
lotsa fun
