Pretty sick little boat. I have an old nitro thunder tiger that I've been thinking of converting with a TFL outboard. I love the F1 hulls. You will get hooked. They are a blast to tune! Keep it up big B!👍🤙

Wow you bought tears to my eyes Brother seeing this little tunnel run. I used to race tunnels 25yr ago. Boat looks really good. I used to build a balance jig for my racing tunnels boats to get the balance of the boat correct. Keep up the great vids brother. Ty you taking me back down memory lane :)

You sure brought this old classic back to life in great style Big B! I didn't know how slick those tunnel hulls were until now! And that outboard? Very COOL! Well done.

@czkarting Год назад

Nice looking boat! 👌 It's going almost the same on the water as my moddified Kyosho Wave Master. And I'm also not using that big engine cover. I just make small cover on the back of canopy, that's covering motor from splashing water. The sound it's the same and I also can't go trough the corner fast as it's starts pressing outer edge deep to the water. I thought that it's caused by weight, as I'm using "vintage" brushed setup (big Plettenberg engine with 18 cells, boat ready to run 2690 grams). Also that "standing" motor creates a bit of gyroscopic force I think, which not helping much. But your one is much lighter for sure, but doing the same as well. But in the straight line they are going like bullets!😉

@goldendredger Год назад

Very cool. I purchased one of these kits when it came out brand new. Was a ni-cad killing machine. 2 speed. Low speed was 2 six cell packs in parallel and high speed changed from parallel to series doubling the voltage. Things got very hot if you ran it long in high speed. I ended up selling that boat and like many things in life I sure wish I had kept it. Nice job scoots with brushless setup. I like it.

@boatwerks Год назад

Awesome to see the old girl on the water. I run a octura v937 prop on mine you will get some cavation out of the hull not to bad so fatlr its my favorite prop for the boat

@JH1200A1 Год назад

I had the MRP back in the 90s. You had to build up on the pads at the rear about 3/16ths of an inch and taper it to 0 in about 4 inches best I can remember. This makes it run flatter and actually less of the hull is wet. I had an OS outboard on mine which I was not impressed with. I switched back to my K&B. It would be a lot more fun brushless as you have more options with moving weight and such.

@jpeterso52 Год назад

I do have a Kyosho Wavemaster which is also a nice tunnel. I am going to put the TFL mini outboard from OSE after I reinforce the hull and sponsons.

@ronreiner4011 Год назад

I've been running brushless outboard tunnels and I have a ose hyperdrive on a 28" pathfinder cat hull (xcat) Try running them flat to the ride surface. Pushing the back of the boat down scrubs off alot of speed. I run 6s on my outboards but doubtful that one would handle it.

@cwbetb Год назад

MRP boats are fantastic old school boats, just reinforce the hull and they run great!

@jpeterso52 Год назад

The Kyosho Wavemaster tunnel hull is much lighter than the MRP hull. I currently have a Graupner brushed outboard on the Wavemaster. The Graupner outboard is direct drive - no cable. It would be nice to put a brushless motor on the Graupner lower unit.

@MrBumbles2 Год назад

maybe vintage to you , dumas with k&b 3.5 nitro outboard, kit . yep had to lay glass etc. mid 70's with tilt n trim mod , still runs great , but getting harder to find piston and sleeve's for it. be a easy elect conversion but the outboards are going for big dollars,

Hi Big B. I had one of them about 20 years ago, I spotted it looking sad and lonely on a shelf in my local model shop so obviously I had to bring it home with me. I ran mine on 3s which was reasonable, but that outboard could be a right arse at times. Still, good work B

@matthewwilken2051 Год назад

its a little different feeling with this style hull right ?... i have the bad habit of right hand turn clockwise because of out riggers. but these will turn just as well left/ batteries up front these guys really like to go airborne.. batteries up front. i wouldnt push this hulls limit to much if you want to keep it.... 4s max i would think. its kinda weird the way they loose there plane on turns. kinda why tunnels and cvataramans arent my first choice. id leave it the way it is and shelf queen it...

@matthewwilken2051 Год назад

i like to guess. i talk about my experiencxe with similiar style boats, make a comment.. then watch the video to see if it handles like i thought it would lol ;]

@CozyRC Год назад

Great maiden run! I think setting the prop higher will increase the speed quite a bit. I'm curious to see if you can resolve the right-corner oversteer. I would think it is mainly due to the very low deadrise of the sponsons. It is a great boat to your collection 😎👍

@paintendaveextremecollisio8057 Год назад

Pretty Cool Big B👍

@pken9814 Год назад

I wonder if the stock plastic prop really flexed with the torq of the brushless motor.

@IRONCLADRC Год назад

Probably did flex, it also has a few dings from age

@5chevygeoff Год назад

Adding some hydro shoes in the front of the tunnel ,might help eliminate the hooking in the corners

Thanks I'll look into that

@nealstarling5422 Год назад

Nice job Big B !!! First time out and the old girl (Betty Lite) ran great. 🤣 My one and only experience with tunnel hulls was a blast, they are the most fun when running on the edge of flipping over-nose high and literally flying on the tunnel of air just like the full size boats. Although I don’t think this one will take the abuse. Not that we abuse any of our boats right 👍 BGFL

@Mel-127 Год назад

Old saying goes. 'There's many a good tune played on an old fiddle'. You've proved that on this fantastic little boat. These boats soon had nitro engines fitted in when they came out. Can you make a mould off it and make a corbon copy of it. Great splash down, go for it Big B.

@georgegonzalez9281 Год назад

Looking good Big B! Turn down the dual rate cause outboards don't need a lot of steering throw. Mess with the prop height and angle and stay on power in the corners and it should hold the line without swapping ends. That hull is shorter and more narrow than the modern F1 boats, but it can still be competitive. You're on the right track so with a little tinkering and tuning she will dial in. Regardless, she looks awesome scooting across the pond. So much livery in that boat. A blast from the past indeed! Cheers!

@georgegonzalez9281 Год назад

After watching this video, RU-vid recommended a video on the MRP F1 boat by a channel called "Odds and Ends RC". He acquired an excellent sample of this boat on eBay. His boat was equipped with a turn fin that is mounted on the inside of the right sponson approximately at the boat's centerline. This kind of jogged my memory. I believe that the turn fin was not a stock part, but either MRP or some other company offered the turn fin as an option and it helped the boat stay planted in the corners. I thought I'd share this with you because it might be an option for you if you exhaust all other tuning options and the boat still hooks in the corners.

@IRONCLADRC Год назад

Next outing I'll try staying on the throttle in a turn, I was being a little to cautious on my maiden run. I'll look into a skid fin as well thanks

@ricklemberg2628 Год назад

Where did you buy the outboard at? I have the same boat and my outboard is shot.

@holgerlafrenz2895 Год назад

Nice running boat! I always thought it would be cool to be able to trim the motor while running. Might be a little complicated tho.

I have several Kyosho lower units that I have always thought about converting to brushless. I probably have 6 lower units. I had 3 MRP tunnel hulls like yours that I threw away 5 years ago when moved.

Hey brother I have a question! I have sonicwake 36 and I want to put a new propeller for it but I don’t have a really good understanding but I know you do! So what prop would you go and buy for your sonicwake! Budget is around 50$ ! Appreciate you and your videos are the best

@IRONCLADRC Год назад

What are you trying to achieve? All out speed, bashing, ovals, or just a cool running faster all around prop

@SaumSeraj Год назад

@@IRONCLADRC you nailed it just all around faster ! I don’t race it like ovals but I have a few buddies who all have boats and I would like just more speed but I want it to turn! That’s another question I have for you! I was think about getting bigger turn fins I was thinkin 82mm by 30mm ? Do you think that would be to big for the boat ?

@IRONCLADRC Год назад

Octura 642 is a good all-around prop but there kinda hard to find at times. 4519 ose or Oxidean prop is a good choice. Also octura x445 but it's a warm running prop on the stock electronics.
