First I would like to thank Steven for all the equipment, since I purchased 99% of this build from him. I wanted to have this boat water ready for the spring but I have been extremely busy with work. This weekend I started and have made lots of progress. I still need to install external cutoff switch, another set of trim tabs, and turn fins.Let me know what you all think. Enjoy the pics, videos should follow next weekend.

6s2p 12000mah 25c
Hydra 240 HV (Need to send in for repair, battery lead fell off????)

Good looking build sir!!! That's alot of power for a 33" mono, take a clean pair of shorts to the pond with you, :w00t: ;) she's going to rip!!!

Since your control has to go back to Castle to have a wire soldered back on:eek:, I would ask them to add some caps to it.:cool:
Looking forward to the vid.
Good luck with her!!

Thanks for the compliments guys. Doug thats a good idea.........I'm glad you thought of that (adding caps) :w00t:. I know its a lot of power but I can always use the added weight of the batts for stability and cog adjustment. Peter I know everything you do is your way. Everyone knows you add your own personal touch. The Sniper is looking wonderful.:buttrock:

That thing will definately be a rocket. I have a df33 with a 1515 1y on 4s2p and it does low 50s. What speeds do you expect to see ? Nice Build

No kidding on the power. I would suggest you may wish to look at the rudder setback and increase the length or shorten the strut. My 4 Canadian cents. Very nice build

Thanks Douggie I will get an extension milled for the rudder bracket to get the leading edge in line with the drive dog. If all is successful I will keep as is, if not I will start with .75" cut off the stinger and see how she goes then.

knpc: I have no idea what to expect :olleyes: but I am hoping for 60+/-
