Beautiful hull Alfa!! sticker time!!

[Doby]

Who is the manufacturer?
Who actually ownes this particular hull you have pictured??
More details would be nice as many of your threads leave much to the imagination.

[Alfa Spirit]

This hull is great because it' s not heavy, well built, inside the hull it' s empty, no hole. Only air intakes have to be closed,
If you are interested send an email to 'alex chen' <okey100@gmail.com>


Stickers are scaled with the hull

This is Frank from Promise Hobby on E-Bay?

If so, he makes decent hulls, I have several of his.

That looks fantastic!

Been 5 days since you got the motors.....drill any holes in the hull yet?

[Alfa Spirit]

I have the hull, motors and the rudder for this boat, no more The rudder is an Arrow Shark, perfect part with 4 water inlets in the blade, and two arms for push-pull mount. I just add a 150mm bracket, the blade is 150mm long.

hi,

maybe an obvious answer to this, but, why is there a link between the 2 batt packs?

Jason

[bikergreen]

excited to see this come together!

[LOVE6S]

Can we see some vids when you get it done please.

[Alfa Spirit]

I don' t know how this deep vee will be on the water, I hope it will be fast with autonomy. If autonomy is insufficient it' s possible to add a 3rd 10S pack (2x5S). The speed should be enough with 34400 RPM unload... Do you have an idea about propellers size?
Hervé made those motor mounts, I modified then because of the water jackets 68mm long. Flex cables are 3/16" :tiphat:

@ Jason : there a link between the 2 batt packs to help batteries having the same voltage during the run. those straps are here to protect packs. I jnow that some people aren' t agree with that for me this is a good thing. With those links you run with a big pack 10S-12000mAh.

Jason The only advantage of linking the two lipos, is if one lipo is weaker the motors will still have the same or equal power.

[madphil]

its recomended to link the battery packs when using twin motor setup the inside motor takes a lot more current on a turn not too bad if you are running on your own you can run both ways to balance the packs
