That thing looks great. I've been thinking about buying one and putting all of my UL1 guts into it. The only thing holding me back is not knowing if my Lipo's will fit. They are 4s 3850mah thunderpowers for 4s2p.

One Neu or Marine power 4900 pack will fit under the cowl. The Hyperion 5500s are a bit too tall. One of your 3850s shouldn't be a problem.
The boat was designed for two 2s packs wired in series or two six cell sub C packs.

Great job on the new Pickle build Doug. The new owner is gonna be one happy FE..ing boater with that fast little red bell pepper. I was amazed how the motor ran so cool. The boat handled like a dream around the oval course too!.

Peace

Hi Doug!

I love those Vacu-Pickle Hydros! If I were to place an order today, what kind of time frame would I be looking at as far as receiving one (deck joined no hardware installed)? Also, could I just order through you here (Via Paypal to your address) instead of going through the Vacu site? I have a brand new UL-1 motor and ESC just waiting for this!!

Thank you!

Nice job on that video and boat.

Thanks Steven.
The video is the work of Matt Gunn. I think he may have done some web work for you at some point.
