Super Jet What motor for my freestyle sn?

[Twake]

I'm looking at putting a new motor in one of my squares, so what motor should i build for freestyle? 701 or 760? or even bigger if it'll fit.

First, and most important: determine what your budget is.

 

[Twake]

um not really sure, just depends on how bad i actually want it. I have a coffman sizzler pipe and an o-ring head for a 701, so thats kind of why i was looking more towards that. save like 500-600. but i want a bigger motor. It'll mainly be a ski for lake wakes and flatwater. Do you think a built 701 is pretty flip/roll-able?

 

[Matt_E]

Rollable with lots of technique, practice and skill.
Flippable, no way, no how.

I have been wondering the same thing. Would a 760 be more flipable?

 

[munki63]

If you want to flip get a limited 701 set-up in a BOB Hull
The 701 has more bottom snap then the 760 due to port timing

 

[Matt_E]

you are not flipping a stock hull with a 760 either. I have yet to see someone flip a BOB with a limited 701 on flat.

 

[munki63]

Close enough lol

 

[Matt_E]

I stand corrected. :biggrin:

 

[Midlake Crisis]

Maybe I need a BOB

 

[munki63]

I stand corrected. :biggrin:

Lol, I guess it depends on if you consider that a Backflip... It's not plate to plate

 

[Twake]

how about my hull, built 701 and v wake. flip?

 

[Matt_E]

With the right v-wake and the right technique, yes.
See my avatar. Heavy shortened SJ with a pretty stout 61X bigbore, total loss, and mag pump

 

[Twake]

thats all i want)) just looking to have fun and hit pretty hard.

Anythings possible with enough $$$, but a stock 701 isn't gonna cut it.

 

[munki63]

For the record I'm not trying to push the BOB, but it's the cheapest way to backflip... I'm guessing that's why it's called Backflip On Budget... Stock 701 in a light AM hull, quickest way to aerial tricks IMO

I can't wait to see XS1200 in a BOB

Maybe I need a BOB
