        I still have not done anything with Tracy's boat wish he would get it. do not know what happed. Sure put me in a world of hurt for my finances. Well it is still hanging waiting for Tracy. but in the mean time I have three to builds and will be showing the changes in the builds. I want to put a wing on tracys boat and plug the holes some how. A mold is in the future.

        Hear is the latest in the lift master builds.


        This boat can be built in 34 to 39 inches long and be powered from 4S to 8S. 10S is a squeeze. I am not sure on the power it will be something that will go 100MPH

        I am working on the strut and rudder bracket this is my start.

            Hold up, all that work into the red one and the guy bailed on buying it? That would definitely leave a sour taste in my mouth! The new one looks wild too!

                It was the Pink one and he had just not talked to me since January 2011.

                  There a bit of change, it takes me 6 to 8 months to make one with this and that going on. Hulls start at 399.00

                            Not really, the tube runs through the strut bracket, but that's about it.

                            If you're talking about the cooling tube going to the stuffing tube , if you look at the pictures earlier in the thread it shows the water going into the last hole and out the middle one before going to the ESC. I'm guessing the motor is turning some serious RPM's in this setup and that keeps the stuffing tube from overheating.
