Thanks for the link , so much easier than trudgen through a thread .

 

[trstange]

that is a great link. Has anyone done this and would you be willing to give a demo to the club?

 

[ShiftNation]

Im gonna do one some soon with Jas , but I think he also is getting one of the lutz prototypes . Regardless as soon as I do one I might make some jigs for the slat cuts and would be willing to do a demo and possibly help make a couple for some members at a future lutz meeting ( right next to my house ) .

The lutz prototypes are loud and put out much less flow than the DIY kits even when running the lutz on a MJ 1200 (less than the MJ 400 with single nitro hammer props I am running currently). I think this is due to his prop design - it's heavy and not as efficient as a RC boat prop that has had significant design time put into it.

I have a lutz kit sitting in a box if anyone wants it for $10 without the bracket.

I have been playing with making these, and am very impressed. I have enough supplies to make 20 of them with the mjmods CNC machined end caps, octura 1440, 1435, or 2035 props, titanium rods and carbon fiber shafts. I am testing these out right now and they are rockin'.

Doing a demo would require power tools to be hauled to the meeting, but the directions on that site are very complete - I doubt you'd learn much more from a demo. These are pretty easy to make, the hardest part is getting all the supplies for a reasonable price (if you order them all separately shipping costs a fortune - that's why I ordered extra parts).

Pm sent on the lutz kit . Im like 2 mins from the lutz meeting so tools wouldnt be a prob .

Just so nobody gets confused. Lutz kit and lutz museum have nothing in common. Someone named lutz something was making molded MJ mod kits for a while, but has since vanished from the face of the earth.

It sounds like we have lots of people who are interested in this mod (myself included) and lots of people who are off trying to find the materials independently. What are the chances we could get someone to get a head count of interested people, get the materials together to make that many kits, and run a demo at one of the meetings? People who want in can pay for the kit (and a buck or two for the person's time to get all the stuff) either before the meeting or at the meeting. We run one how to session at the Lutz where people who paid in get a baggie with the needed materials in it and build along with the presenter. I'd do it but I don't know the mod, it would have to be someone who has some experience with different mods and could pick the best (quiet, etc...) one. Just a thought.

 

[ShiftNation]

Thats what I was thinking the demo should be , more of helping anyone who wants one to build it , since it can be built pretty quickly .

 

[ctreefer]

fitch4, I like that Idea as well. I also want to build one and would be more than willing to supply a frag, or a few bucks for time spent plus parts.

 

[cato]

I'm in for at least a few too. Maybe 4 or 5. Great idea!

 

[fitch4]

So the question is who wants to get the materials together for the kits. I imagine we could get quite a few people together to do the kits and each person would probably be in for a few of them. Kroe's pump looks nice (from the other thread) which would be a big plus if someone has insight on how to do his type mod when getting the materials list together. Anyone want to take the ball and get this going?

 

[kroe]

I'd be happy to help people figure out how to make these, but I haven't been doing well at making meetings lately, so I don't want to volunteer to do the demo. If anyone has questions feel free to ask.
