RICKTER talk

[Aircraftsalz]

I've been thinking a Bob or Stunt might be the right flatwater ski for me!




Pat I think its gonna be a new Superfreak designed hull......

Zack I love the Rickter... I just need to play with the setup some more to fine tune it. Superjets suck once your on a Rickter, but a lost SJ oh well, lost Rickter = wks of diving. lol

Pat
I'm gonna drop my XS1000 into a superlight flatwater hull, & put a big bore something into the Rickter. That XS1000 is way to much $$$ for a surf ski..

Small motors in Rickters work very well indeed both Zacks and mine are 701 based
and I have more fun on ours than the 1000 cc monsters I have rode, now if I was riding flatwater im sure it would be different

Funny thing is Rickters were supposed to be a flatwater ski. Now they seem to be better suited to the surf and other hulls are taking over flatwater

Rickter ordered cant wait

you dont need a different steering cable....roundi cable works as good as in a SJ if you trim/slit the breather tubes...


the noserail is a must, butti figured out the install......zero compromise to the nose




mine's 701 based as well.....it makes the motor feel absolutly outstanding

 

[Aircraftsalz]

I love the FS1/XS1000 B pipe set up.... Its the perfect set up to go big & have fun, but it will hurt you for sure...

My FS1 with the XS865 was perfect surf set up. I can't wait to try Chris/Blue's new BB motor, thats what I'm looking at now with a 144 Mag.

even tho im on a fr2 and your on a fs1? my pump is farther back..... i tried it when i was bulding it and the cable was so far away.....

do tell on the noserail....arty:

zack how is that 145 mag pump working out for been thinking about putting one in mine but wasn't sure how it would work with my engine setup.

 

[ocdfreeride]

cant speak for flat water but in the surf its unreal, both Zack and I are running them in "small motors and the hookup / acceleration is awesome

also be prepared to cut/trim /modify the footholds
the left one is over an inch longer than the right, (3 different skis) and unless you trim them the adjust-ability is nil

sorry dude, missed that it was a 2

carry on.




the noserail you'll have to wait and see when its done. but you'll like it it'll be strong, simple and clean

yeah me and carl are running it. i just pin the throttle and it keeps hooking up everywhere. you wont be disappointed.

carry on.

no worries.

ooooooooo i cant wait!

 

[chriselmore_1]

I hate rickters! (jelousy after salivating over Coungs with the xs865 in jarrods garage)

 

[Idok]

new chinpad.....needs a couple little mor finishing touches, but is totally rideable except for the broken hoodstrap

 

[lakeboy183]

does anyone know the weight on a glass fs1??

 

[Idok]

mines probaby right around 300, maybe a little less..


i never bothered to weigh it as its not a flatwater boat.....

 

[tightithrash]

well..........guess i really do need a metal steering nozzle.....busted mine today doing a new trick. that thing sticks out so far on the fr-2 that it gets alot of stress....

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Got a few rides on my FS1 with a longer ride plate. It really helped the ski for surfing the wave, big improvement imo for surfing & slashing the wave. Ski still rotates fine with the longer plate.

When I swap the motor/pump I'm going to set the pump back another 2in like the FS2 pump... I'll post up some pics when I do it for other FS1 owners

I like plastic ones...they are cheap, and that stress will just find somewhere else to go with a metal nozzle



my F1 pro is the same way...sticks out at least 3-4 inches, maybe more
