Something a little different (scratch built)

[shockerman80]

Here is a little project ive been working on for a while now. (Some of you will remember it from the red board)

2 8l kb45's (looking for other options)
2 4s 30c poly rcs
2 hydra 120s
442's

Its only in rough primer right now and it needs a little work but it should be done in time for the big thaw. Let me know what you think.

It will actually have four of them when its done im waiting for the casting materials to make fiberglass resin copies of them.

[RCprince]

You made that, wow, lost for words.....

[ace028]

[Stealth Assassin]

No way... That's Insane! I like It. Great job on the Interior.

[Stealth Assassin]

I would guess 45" or bigger judging by the pics. that ammo motor would not be enough for this boat (but I could be off)

[RCprince]

Avanti if that boat is 45 inches...That ammo would burn up along with your esc

[Avanti]

the boat is probably over 50" and will require more power than a 2300kv ammo I would imagine twins of some sort or one monster motor. (but this is all speculation let wait for the owner to chime in)

[fastbaltek]

i think itd be kinda hard on the motors but then again as long as its 4s to each motor then itd be fine.

[fastbaltek]

like running 2 sv27 at the same time?

[shockerman80]

The boat is 42" long and yes the ammo and or the sv setups would probably vanish into a plume of smoke in it. I used to run fegaio 8xls in it on 4s but they struggled to much with it. I runs well with the kb45 8ls in it but the quality of them there motors is horrible. They are out of balance ( and yes ive tried to balance them with no avail) and really lack power for their size and weight. I really want to run neus but thats a big chunk of change for two motors.

[Flying Scotsman]

That is beautiful workmanship. :tongue_smilie:

[shockerman80]

Thanks for all the kind comments guys gives me more modivation to continue. Wait till you see the 42" scale mystic ive been drawing up.

[RCprince]

Which Mystic...you mean Mystic as in Bud Select..., Miss LongLite, et'al

[Eodman]

OK now how can I buy that Cat? That sure is puuuurdy!

[shockerman80]

yes the mystic as in the longlite/ bud select boat. i have the cad drawings about halfway done. its gonna be purdy. Um the cats really not for sale. (anything is though for a price. )

[RCprince]

Dude, I'd wash your feet for a year...J/King...They make those boats about 45 minutes from where I live here in Florida...I love the Budselect hulls the Black one and The Red on Black one.....

[crazzy maxx]

:ohmy: :eek:
what type of paint r u throwin on that???
the interior is killer
nice work!!!!

[skidooguymxz550]

Is this a model of a MTI 39' pleasure? i see only one paint option, This has to be painted like the MOJO from the miami vice movie

[Avanti]

any updates???

[shockerman80]

I finished casting the seats just some more wet sanding on the hull and seats an then it will be painted. Im really not a fan of the mojo paint scheme but this is what i had in mind. (purple replaced with a blue)

[Avanti]

that paint scheme is not my bag but you boat is really nice keep us posted and get some pics up after paint

[SJFE]

is not my bag

It's not my bag baby YEAH....:rofl:

[Diegoboy]

That is the most sought after boat on my list. Very very nice work. If you were to do it in this theme (http://www.pier57.com/200644mti1.htm), I would meet whatever demands you wanted to have it.. :tongue_smilie:

[shockerman80]

I do have another hull that is sheeted. It just needs to be finished up. (strakes f/g paint and stuff like that.) The hull is complete just needs a hatch.

[Yeeharacing]

Shocker have you been hacking my hard drive???
I've been planning this exact project right down to the paint for the last year.
Only difference was I was going to use RCM outdrives but they have been pulled from the market and are unavailable any more.
I have more pictures of that paint scheme if you'd like.

[shockerman80]

pm me the pics or email them to me that would help alot i only have like 3 or four of them

[shockerman80]

Here are some new pics of the paint scheme. Let me know what you think. :rockon2:

[Avanti]

your craftsmanship and painting skills amaze me. Great work, the boat is looking awesome!

[Steakhouse]

Here are some new pics of the paint scheme. Let me know what you think. :rockon2:

Sweet Alan! I cant wait to see it run.:banana:

[Ocean Racer]

Im am DROOOOOOOOLLLLLING over this boat:drool: :drool:

[Raydee]

Allan do you want to paint and clear my hulls?

[shockerman80]

Sorry Ray i hate doing my own hulls. Its wayyyyy too time consuming.

[Stealth Assassin]

You could make a couple custom hatches for a few peeps... :spy: I would buy some of those seats!

[Raydee]

Sorry Ray i hate doing my own hulls. Its wayyyyy too time consuming.

Believe me I know, I gave up on nice paint designs a long time ago. All my new hulls will be one color and vinyl this season. I bought two new HVLP paint guns and I really don't want to even open them up.

[shockerman80]

Some pics of it in the school pool.

[Stealth Assassin]

To cool... :spy:

[peells]

Thats nice, did you design it your self?

[shockerman80]

yes sir, drew it in cad and then laser cut it

[peells]

that is way cool, I drew mine on cad but hand cut it, where did you get access to a laser?

[peells]

So are you a student or teacher? Also I like your detail in your cockpit area. Did you fabricate your windshield as well?

[shockerman80]

im a drawing/ tech teacher

[shockerman80]

i found a company online it was really expensive though

[robby76]

that is one Fine cat.

[Avanti]

any updates on this cat?

[peells]

That is too cool of a job, I am an ACAD Tech/designer in traning (electrical for buildings) who did your laser cutting?

[ace028]

i found a company online it was really expensive though

lazerworks.com isn't very expensive.

[shockerman80]

[Avanti]
