Renegade Rigger build

[ace028]

Since this project is nearing completion, I thought I would start a thread of my build, so that all the pics are together.

Here are some more. Its primed and ready for a final prime and paint. The red you see is spot putty.

Looking very good, I love mine and is fun on those still days and can embarress a few of the bigger boats too.

Ok, here is a sneak pic of it as it is drying. It is painted with PPG black paint, with house of kolor camelon paint, with PPG clear coat. I can't wait to put the hardware on and let it rip.

lookin good.. how long is the boat? and how do you like that rudder?.. i have seen on in the pond like 6 months ago and it was supper fast..

[ace028]

Thanks, the boat is at my dads house, I havne't got to see it yet, this is a pic he sent me, he painted it up for me. I will measure it when I get it home next week. I haven't ran it yet so I don't know how good the turnfin is, I assume it is perfect because the designer designed it for this specific boat. I do know that it is suppose to weigh 13oz RTR. Mine will probably be heaiver because of the paint, I think that will actually help it in the water, I have heard people adding lead weights to it. I am running all recomended hardware CC pheonix 25, TP 1320 3 cell lipo, mile high rc 2600kv motor. I will take pics of it completed, hopefully we will get a video clip, we don't have a actual vid cam, so we will use a digital camera in video mode, so no on the fly zooming.

cool.. well i was thinking of getting one of those rudder for my 21" mono..

[ace028]

Here is a pic of some of the hardware

by any chance you you have a picture of the rudder next to a ruler? and does that rudder have a servo arm thingy on both sides or just one side?

[ace028]

Here is the pic you requested. It only has the servo arm on the one side. You can get this rudder with it on both sides, I think from here on OSE.

Your renegade looks cool with the paint job . I might have to get around to painting mine. Thanx alot now another thing to ad to my to do list. LOL

[ace028]

Thanks, my dad is the master with painting. I have to get my own air brush an practice a little bit, I have a bad habbit of trying to spray the coats on too thick, so I let my dad do it for me. I bought the house of Kolor paint on ebay for about $20.
