UDI Arrow 5 Smiles Per Mile Were Had 4S 😃

Now we have some power to play with. Next step is a bigger prop and it should be pretty dialed in for a "cheap basher boat" ..enjoy! #rc #rchobbies #scalemodel #rcforall #rcboat #boatgang #udirc

Man, I really want a boat like that! That thing is a beast! Love it! It really sounds like it is moving some water around!

[@scaleworksRC]

Thanks! It took some tweaks, but she runs good on 4S now

[@Rangoli_rc]

Bro what a spot! Awesome video! I was cracking up when it jumped out the water next to your bag😂 got rainbows busting out everywhere. Top notch rc entertainment 👍✌🏼

[@scaleworksRC]

Yeah man, this one was a much needed blessing! Much more fun now that it has more power 😆 Genuinely had a good time and glad you enjoyed!

[@JamesDirtRC]

2:21 Hahaha that was Awesome

[@scaleworksRC]

😁🤣😂 Fun fun!

[@slebdad]

Good speed, nice running boat. The 005 was the boat you were looking for.

[@scaleworksRC]

Yup! Very happy with it now and can't wait to see what a bigger prop will do!

[@A.M.-RC]

That's so cool! It does look very fast. One side of RC I haven't tried so far, not many lakes around here, but I'd love to try one.

[@scaleworksRC]

Yeah that's one thing that kind of drew me to it. Central Fla is littered with small lakes and ponds all over the place. Mostly private, but thanks to Google, it's pretty easy to find a spot on the fly. This boat is a good entry level craft if you're thinking about it.

[@rc_michi]

Nice boat, really fast 😮 Beautiful spot there!

[@scaleworksRC]

Thanks! I'll trade you for that nice speed run lane you have there 😁

[@rc_michi]

@@scaleworksRC Haha, sounds like an interesting deal 😅

[@scaleworksRC]

@@rc_michi 😁

[@Rcprescription]

Awesome video brother! Yea the water makes speed seem so much faster! 70 in my bass boat may as well be 100! 😂

[@scaleworksRC]

Yup, that's freakin' flying on the water! I'm probably going for 100 on the water next 😁🤜🤛

[@JamesDirtRC]

You Did it. That Thing is Awesome. Seems to be perfect handling an speed. OH man My buddy used to take me fishing an it was a pretty good size boat and we would go like 45mph and it seemed like i was Flying across the water. Felt faster. Looks faster. Awesome

[@scaleworksRC]

Yep, you know what I'm talking about. I had the same deal.. buddy had a decent boat and 45mph felt dangerously fast 😆 Glad you enjoyed it and thank you!

[@rccrazy]

Remember throttle control! Sorry I had to repeat it🤣 Yeah man looking good now! I would say you may need some different turning blades or adjust your existing ones, it was funny the flying fish flip out of the water but that was a issue I had with one boat and I found the turn blades were just wrong for that particular hull and caused it to dig in one way and roll in strange ways. Yours only done it ones though so maybe just coincidence it looked like a serious issue🤷

[@scaleworksRC]

Lol glad you enjoyed it M8! It was fun learning the boat on camera and thank you for that tip about the fins! I plan on upgrading that hardware but honestly overlooked the fins because I didn't really understand how they affect performance. The rudder also has a bit of play, but it's not really noticeable driving the boat. Muuuch better than that WL915 though!

[@ModifiedRC0877]

The timing of things is funny. I just rebuilt my arrow with some parts laying around. I got 36 on 3s. Gonna try 4s this week😊

[@scaleworksRC]

Nice! I'm seeing it doesn't take much to wake these boats up, and boy.. the fun factor really goes up when you do! Looking forward to your 4S run! 👀👍 What prop you running?

[@ModifiedRC0877]

@@scaleworksRC 4519 I used to run on my UL19

[@scaleworksRC]

@@ModifiedRC0877 Oh, that a nice boat! Just saw Sam run his and it was amazing. BG4L🚤💨

[@ModifiedRC0877]

Just got 46mph on 4s. Gonna try a high rake prop next.

[@scaleworksRC]

@@ModifiedRC0877 Woah nice! How does it handle at those speeds?

[@mikesrcgarage]

Runs great on 4s and I like a lil chop but the boat gets squirrelly but that's what makes it fun 😊 I like that spot 🙏🏼 beautiful day BG4L ✌🏼😎

[@scaleworksRC]

Yep, definitely fun now.. and it was a much needed blessing!

[@RodRatunil]

do you have trouble in fitting the battery on the battery tray? was the size of the 4s same with 3s? thanks

[@scaleworksRC]

I used a HRB 3000mah 60C 4S on this run. It's a little snug, but it fits under the hatch fine, and is the same length as the stock battery, just taller and slightly wider. The problem is, the added weight reduces left hand turn handling and it wants to spiral out of the water with the extra weight on the left rear. Still, a fun boat!

[@RadAbyss]

Now this lake is a thing of beauty. Stunning.

[@scaleworksRC]

The Lord provides! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. This was genuinely good fun

[@everydayaquariums1624]

Title = ?????

[@scaleworksRC]

They say the fun in RC is measured in 'smiles per mile', meaning it doesn't have to be super fast to be fun ..I guess this would be nautical miles? 😄

[@UrbanLegendRC]

Nice run I want to add that boat to my line up

[@scaleworksRC]

Yeah man, go for it! They are good little boats for the money and I can already see spending more on upgrades to make it better. If you don't mind the looks, I'd go for the Tylosaurus.. it's a little more money but worth it for the parts included, plus it comes with a 4S ready 120A ESC. I just prefer the looks of this one

[@Thebassguru84]

So what set up is this? I just got this boat and want to run 4s but I've seen people say the stock esc wouldn't hold up

[@scaleworksRC]

Correct. I think it has a 40A or something, but it doesn't regulate the voltage going to the servo.. so you could fry that as well if you go above 3S. I'm running a Flycolor 70A from a smaller boat. It's enough to handle up to 6S, but you'd probably see more speed from a 120A unit. The most recent video, I finally ran 6S again and got 42mph with an Oxidean prop today! 😃
