Build of X1-C hull from Performance Jet Worx

[wirelessbob]

I'm installing a new 155mm pump and 1100 engine-tech engine the next month or so. Excited to get some more power.

Also a couple other points. That small peg just pops out. Also, I did not setup my wear ring with extended bolts, rather I just connected bolted it to the hull.

Hi mate in a previous message you mentioned it was tight to install the last wear ring and you never installed the rubber seal
I mailed Larry and asked if any modifications were needed
Did you machine down your mid-shaft or just install as normal

 

[wirelessbob]

Yep that's true, I just used 5200. I guess the grinding is for the rubber seal then? I bought the machined midshaft from Larry and pressed it myself. Everything fit together well. We'll see now that I'm taking the current setup apart.

The wear ring I'm going to install the same as yourself. Just bolt in as in your pic you sent over
I just ordered my skat trax billet pump 155mm from blowsion
I asked Scott at blowsion and I could have run a 160mm pump but might have had problems getting a 160mm wear ring
When you order your new prop make sure you let the supplier know what size engine and your weight as it makes a big difference on power ( you learn something new everyday)

Rad, I like these hulls.

 

[Ducky]

People probably wont be able to get them anymore because they are selling the molds.

 

[barrie gunn]

@Ducky so is Larry stopping making these hills then ?

 

[barrie gunn]

Id like to say that having bought a hull from PJW what and great experience no hassle at all and the packing is very good
Next stop the UK

Are you sure they are selling these molds or are they just selling off some old XFT stuff?

 

[Ducky]

@Ducky so is Larry stopping making these hills then ?

I am not 100% sure, but I just saw that the molds were for sale.

 

[barrie gunn]

larry is selling just the old XFT molds
the X1c will still be available

I started the process of rebuilding my ski over the weekend. For reference, here is my b-pipe setup with the stock waterbox. I changed out the 45 degree coupler from pipe to waterbox with an equivalent 90 degree coupler. Also had to change the output coupler and cobble my own exhaust tube together. I needed this angle because of the size of the hull and where the engine is mounted.

[wirelessbob]

I've been waiting for the TNT pipe so I haven't made much progress other than teardown this past weekend of everything except the pole.

@barrie gunn I recall you have a power factor pipe? How are you mounting it?

 

[barrie gunn]

@wirelessbob
I'm going to buy a rrp carbon exhaust as it fits better

 

[barrie gunn]
