Took the old Wallypower 118' Cruiser out for a spin the other day. Thought you guys might like to see a video of it. I should run it more often.

Thanks guys.
I agree. It is good to relax with an old boat now & then.

The specs are...
3 x Dark Horse Speed 600 brushed motors
3 x Turnigy 30A ESC'c
3 x 32mm home made water jets. Well, just props in a tube really.
2 x Turnigy 3s 5000mah Lipos in parallel. They were 4s packs but when they each lost a cell I hacked them down to 3s.
Here's a few pics. The last one shows the water intakes during construction.

That's just some fantastic creative engineering; very impressive ! Three cheers & a case of Fosters :beerchug:
