Putting up my Smith's cat for sale. This was my first build. This is a German hull and has a very unique look to it. Better paint and a brighter color (along with a windsheild stickered or painted on) would do it more justice.

I parted out some of what was in her, here's what I have left:
(2) counter rotating flexes(.150")
(2) 5mm to .150 collets
(1) Speedmaster rudder, modded for snow use. Shorter length from top to bottom and larger from the leading edge to trailing edge (pictured)
(1) Interchangable speedmaster rudder, stock for water use.
(2) supervee struts, machined to be straight for twin use
(1) AceRC servo, mounted with linkage attached.


I sprayed some paint on the inside when building it just to see what it looked like and never got around to really painting it, thats why it's that ugly green. Painting it black would dramatically improve the appearance IMO.

I'll sell it as hull/hardware with flexes, collets, rudders, servo, motor mounts, ect for $120 shipped CON US

Or bare hull (will have stuffing tubes still, they could be cut out if you want to build it as a single or left in there for twin use). Motor mounts will also stay with the boat (simple aluminum mounts)

$60 shipped CON US

Yes, it's a Team Lindenau. I won the hull in a contest Deigoboy held here on OSE. It was my first build so not as nice as it could have been (for example I just glassed in the stuffing tubes instead of doing a nice carbon fiber floor, carbon fiber stuffing tube holders, ect.) Also I painted it with the rattle cans you buy at the hobby shop. In the future I think its worth it to use normal automotive base/clear. The model stuff takes a long time to cure and I struggle to lay paint well with a spray can.
Anyways...I think these hulls are rather pricey to get (they have to be shipped from Germany), but I dont have a whole lot into it and I have 2 other builds going on right now so off she goes.

Paypal received. Make sure you PM or email me your shipping address teach. Are you sure you dont want the rudders/flexes/couplers/servo? Even if you made it a single drive it would cost you more than $60 for teh coupler, flex, drive dog, rudder, and servo. I'll sell it to you either way though, just let me know what you want.:thumbup1:
