cbp27's 32" Pursuit

[cbp27]

Well, this will be very first R/C boat build. It's a 32" Pursuit hull with the following:

Seaking 120a ESC
Leopard 4074 2200kv Motor
Lipo's (2x2S)
Spektrum MR200 RX
Traxxas 2075 Servo
Castle BEC
8.0mm Bullets

Here's the boat from domp444's Sale ad (http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/showthread.php?31031-Pursuit-32-quot-ARTR-Deep-Vee-Mono). Sadly it's lost in the mail somewhere. And it's only coming from NY to PA! I really hope it shows up soon. It's been a few weeks. :Praying:

Looks like somebody will be soldering soon!

Haha Thanks for the warning. I don't think it should be too bad though. It might just get some new decals once I get it.

Yeah I do lol I may just wait and see if the boat will show up first.

ok let me put it this way, if your going to paint, i recommend just very lightly sanding the hull, washing it down with soapy water and rinsing it.
Dont sand it back too much or youll get upset !

I ordered one from HK USA on Friday. It's already in its way. Can't wait to give it my own touch! Love the white. I would keep it. HK only carries the yellow but I already have a theme for it. Hopefully it will arrive by weeks end.

Oh, and painting isnt that much of a PITA if you sand and prep/primer correctly. Bery much qorth it, IMO.
Have fun!!

It's definitely all in the prep work. If I have too much trouble though, I might need your help Chris haha.

I'm thinking about putting on some Spektrum logo's or something for now. I have a bag full of decals.

These boats are really great though! I got to test Chris' (Gimp) Pursuit last week and it was awesome!

Still nothing on the boat. Looks like it might be lost and gone forever haha I'm still hoping for it though.

Got a new wheel for my transmitter though! :w00t:
