here is the boat ^^

It was a nice clean install, but i stepped on the boat when getting out of the bath, so it's a bit rough looking now, i also had a mini rio sticker set so i stuck it on after fixing the damage

i used the following rudder, propshaft and strut from this combo deal ^^ these mini rudder and struts are all over ebay and probably on OSE as well,

Here is the hardware installed ^^ I originally had the rudder higher up, but turning was not good, so i lowered it and bolted it on near the bottom of the hull, turning is great now

Here is the boat, the water outlet is just some silicon tubing through a hole and finished off with epoxy for a snug fit. The water inlet is built into the rudder.

silicon tubing (http://cgi.ebay.ie/Brand-New-Silicone-Tube-4m-long-4-5mm-OD-2-5mm-ID_W0QQitemZ300369764501QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRadio_C ontrol_Vehicles?hash=item45ef6ee095)


I used silicon tubing with 2.5mm internal diameter ^^

Here is the internals, the receiver is baloon sealed^^

I used .098 flex cable from OSE ^^ the drive dog etc. were used on another boat

i used the 27mm propeller ^^^ from ose, originally i used a bigger propeller, but it upset steering too much, 27mm works great

i used the seaking 35a esc, it is water cooled and works great

i used a 2604kv brushless motor, that cmes with a water cooling jacket, the motor works great on 2 or 3 cell lipos, it's really fast, the jacket keeps it ice cold

i used the above flex cable coupler to attach the motor to the flex cable, i used a piece of brass tube to shim the motor end to fit snugly. The motor shaft is a bit too narrow for the collet.

The boat runs great on the above 2 cell battery, the above 3 cell battery turns it into a bullet. I tend to use a 3 cell straignt line for speed runs. I use the 2 cell for turning and flips, when i time it right i can do a really nice 180 trick with this boat.

I will post vids later.

Thank you

There is no need fora TEFLON TUBE to go over the flex cable.

Just use the stock brass tube and a .098 flex cable, and remember to grease the cable occasionally

I replaced the brass tube on another mini v to accomodate a teflon tube and it is a hard job

there was no difference in behaviour at the end of it all
