Custom/Hybrid my stunt hull build

[chips]

yea i think ill just try to find a nice lightweight 62t flywheel now.

 

[kingnothing3]

im almost positive I have a stock 62t flywheel if you are interested... shoot me a pm

 

[McDog]

#.0 sells some nice lightened flywheels.

 

[chips]

is it worth the extra money for a lightened one or spend the money on an aftermarket one?

 

[Waternut]

After using total loss on both my ski's, I don't think any charging flywheel is worth it's weight in poo...but that's just me.

 

[chips]

so get a stock one or a lightened stock one? Worth the extra money?

 

[tipafew]

I felt the difference pretty clearly adding an aftermarket flywheel. However, I think since you are building a budget boat you should focus your money on building the hull right and then save to build up the motor later.

IMO... sell all the stock electrics and get total loss or at least get a stock flywheel now so you can build it and ride. Then keep your eyes open for total loss deals later.

 

[chips]

alright I'll just find a nice cheap used one. Thanks

 

[Waternut]

I know even a used one can be expensive but that is the one mod that I've done that I felt was completely worth all the problems and countless hours that I delt with it. It is the best single mod I've ever done.

 

[chips]

well we'll see. ive got some time before spring so ill keep my eyes peeled.

and yeah thats a 62t stator..

I've ridden a boat with a stock flywheel and then a stock lightened flywheel back to back and felt no difference (JUST MY OPINION)
I've also tried a RAD flywheel and could tell a difference, albeit a small one. Certainly not several hundred dollars worth of difference.

 

[SUPERTUNE]

When it comes down to charging flywheels...It also depends on the engine setup, a more aggressive ported engine, a little low on compression or just a little big on the impeller pitch, the benefits will increase with a aftermarket aluminum flywheel. On engines that have stock porting, running over 185 lbs compression and propped just right or a little under for flatwater will not see as big of a difference.
If your going to stay with a charging system the TBM is a very good choice for a aftermarket charging flywheel, (when using a MSD Enhancer) with great gains in weight reduction.
A stock lightened flywheel is budget friendly though.

i beleive the hood, and all the other stuff from dan shipped today, and i called the painter and he hasn't started on it yet, so that's kind of lame but well i guess they are busy.

 

[chips]

im working on my ebox and i got some msd bootcaps for it but im not 100% on the right way to put them on??

 

[chips]

[Waternut]

Is the tube yours or did it come with the hood?
