speedmasters on 30 Velocity?
I purchased the project 30 Velocity, it is in very good condition compared to the pix on Ebay. One lower drive is missing the other one has a huge split on the bullet. I pulled the cap on the uppers and they look good. What is the difference if any on uppers TRS to speedmasters. The uppers have two 1" holes near the top? Can you run speedmaster lowers on these hulls? I will post some pix later. Went to pick it up on Wednesday but got jacked by the border guards and spent most of the night in lockup because of an old charge,10 yr old bar fight, 10 yrs ago not fighting a 10 yr old. Sent my buddies to get it 2200mi return trip, I owe them large tonight!!!

The uppers are the same. The two holes suggest to me it had speedy lowers as new. The #2 parts are hard to find. Good luck. I remember a '84 30 with #2's 20 years ago. It ran mid 80's with 400's.
Those 30's are fast and don't require a lot of power to have fun.

the #2 speedmaster is 2 inches longer than a trs they will fit but know your drive is 2 inches deeper in the water. I bet it will slow you down.If anything stick with the trs they are just as strong and you have a wide variety of props to use than the #2

Got in touch finally with the guy that built my rocket. He laughed when I told him how much I pd. He built it with 523ci engines and speedy 2 drives He went 104+ mph but got the feeling of death if he didn`t pull back on the sticks. The dyno sheet is good for approx 800hp+800ft torque. Strange build, a 523 is a tall deck 4.0 stroke with 4.5+.060 bore(hope I`m right) Any input on 523 engines welcome. Maybe Konrads are the way to go. Just sold my Harley project to finance this monster.
