The X442 is too much prop hor a stock .15 Pro. The X440 or X637 would be better choices.

If your NitroVee is cavitating and your prop isn't damaged, there are a couple of things you can do to get it up on plane. You can ease into the throttle while alternating the steering left to right...

Charlie, youv'e got a PM.

I have made my aluminum turn fins to kick up just as the stock plastic fin because it uses the same mounting bracket.

Actually the Perry VP-30 pump weighs less than one ounce so I don't think that the added weight slows the boat down at all. I measure my speed with a Garmin Etrex GPS that I believe to be reasonably...

Try adjusting your out drive to full down, that made mine plane with the stock prop. Once you get it planing and broken in, you can adjust it back up a little at a time until you get the best...

The plastic prop that came with my NitroVee ate up the outdrive bushings in less than one gallon of fuel, I think that it was nowhere near balanced. Whatever prop you are using, it needs to be well...

Tower Hobbies used to carry them many years ago, check with your LHS, they will know where to get them or a good substitute. It will be a lot easier to do the mod when the radio gear is removed.

I soldered the wires to the RTS moter and then put a Deans connector in the RTS wiring so that I don't have to cut or unsolder the wires to do maintenance or clean the boat.

I wish that I could balance, sharpen and polish a prop in two hours. the Prather stainless steel P280 took me five hours, but it looks like chrome and is very well balanced.

I balance my Octura props well and don't have any cracking problems and I have not reinforced the hull or transom. The muffler is too far from the hull to cause any cracking. This hull is ABS plastic...

No, it wasn't any slower nor any faster ( my NitroVee is the slowest one on this board). The pump doesn't weigh any more than one AA dry cell. It did allow me to tune the HSN at the dock by holding...

I am the person that has run the Perry pump for cooling, it is not worthe hassle unless you sit at idle for long periods of time. I have taken it off.

You need a new header to get any gain from a tuned pipe.

I've done all of theese mods, but can't post pictures on this board. If you want to see of, and hear the results of my efforts, send me a PM or e-mail with a specific question.

NO, DON"T DO IT, it is intended to be mixed with GASOLINE not Alcohol. The main ingredient is nitropropane and is supposed to boost the octane characteristic of pump gas. If you want to boost the...

Here ia a link to another board with some comments about the Miss Bud radio box. I have only seen one run and it had water in the radio box after its first day on the water. I thought that it was...

If the water is getting past the tape, you might want to try the Warehouse Hobbies tape. I use it on the gas boat and it stays put with no lifting at the edges and leaves no residue when you remove...

I am now on my third gallon of fuel since installing the Boca high temp high speed bearings and the are holding up well. I have run fuels as high as 55% with 100% synthetic lube (18%) and all is well...

I did, it looks much neater and I think that it helps reduce the spin out in hard turns. The farther away from the transom the prop is, the more leverage it will have to kick the transom up during...

Check the spec sheets and the math again. The Villian IV weighs 1.58 Kg and is 787 mm long (hull length). The Super Hawaii weighs 2.82 Kg and is 930 mm long (hull length). My calculations show the...

Here's another boards discussion about paint for a nitr boat. Hope that it helps.

I'm not so sure that Krylon is fuel proof! Before you put it on your boat you should paint a small piece of ABS plastic and test it with whatever % nitro that you will be using. Some paints that...

The water cooling supply comes from a pick up just below the hull and uses ram impact pressure from the forward motion of the boat when planing. The water cooled head won't work for your land vehicle...
