Setup tips For Zipp Hulls
JAE Gas and new Envy Outrigger
-
The boat likes a lot of prop. 2818, 3016, etc. Must be very sharp.
-
CG is not at all critical, but shoot for the rear of the fin.
-
You MUST use a straight rudder (no taper on leading edge). Bad things happen if you don't.
-
Mount rudder on the right side, even if your kit says left. Helps with prop walk.
-
Shorten RF boom tube 1/4 inch for toe in.
-
If necessary, raise the strut (at 0 degrees) to help with prop walk.
-
Use a DIGITAL rudder servo with at least 250 oz/in of torque.
-
If the boat is pulling hard right with throttle, shim the rudder to kick it under the boat slightly.
-
This can be a sweet running boat if all of the above is heeded.
Easy Vee
-
If using a mod engine:
-
Set all trim tabs level and adjust right inner so that boat does not lean at full throttle going straight.
-
If boat is loose, drop both inner tabs the same amount until the boat slightly chine walks at max speed.
-
Adjust the right outer tab even with the right inner.
-
Adjust the left outer tab for best left turns.
-
Use a 2716/2 or a 670/2 prop for best performance. Try small (6516, 6518) 3 blade props.
-
With a stock engine, our 2716/2 prop works extremely well.
ABox
-
Zipp pipe at 13.5 inches (or all the way in on the dropped header).
-
7016/3 blade Zipp prop.
-
Make sure turn fin is exactly 90 degrees to bottom.
-
Trim tabs as close to the bottom as you can get (1/32 inch>>).
-
Strut centerline 1/2 inch below bottom and flat, or up to 1 degree negative (prop down).
-
You should see the bottom skeg on most of the straightaway.
Bullitt
-
Zipp pipe at 13.5 inches (or all the way in on the dropped header).
-
Zipp 2716/2 or Prop Works 6717/3-400 RES prop.
-
Strut at 7/8 inch and flat on the table.
-
See Race Setup Sheet.
Pro Vee
-
Stock or mod engine, use our 2716/2-20 prop.
-
Balance should be at 31% forward of the transom.
-
Lower or raise the inner tabs slightly for best ride. Match outers to inners!
-
The boat should not fly unless the water is rough. Then it should fly level.
SLR Missile Thunderboat
- Set Zipp pipe at 14 inches. Using the drop header, slide all the way in, then pull out 1/2 inch.
- Use a 6719/3-525 prop or a Zipp 6717/3
- Adjust fin angle forward until boat is loose without climbing fin in left turns.
- Don't touch the strut.
- Move lots of fresh air through the cowl. In and out.
Super Sport
-
Set all trim tabs level and adjust right inner so that boat does not lean at full throttle going straight.
-
If boat is loose, drop both inner tabs the same amount until the boat slightly chine walks at max speed.
-
Adjust the right outer tab even with the right inner.
-
Make sure that the turn fin(s) is exactly 90 degrees to the bottom.
-
Adjust the left outer tab for best left turns.
