I figured i would start my own build thread . I fixed the gap in my hull . Today i made some sides for my battery & elctronic's box. They are just taped in place because i wanted some opinion's in case im doing something wrong. My plan is to cut out the back of the stock radio box to leave more room for adjusting the lipo . I hade to make my new sides go on top of the stock radio box because my turnigy lipo is taller the the stock box. Tell me what you think .I let the dogs out...Comment

look good mate,just one thought were you have the steering rods you dont have much vertical adjustment,if you put the steel cleats on the servo side you can then use the pivot balls on the out side with a bolt to allow leg to move up and down and the rods stay in the same spot,i had a nut either side of pivot ball to allow adjustment but now i have it dialed in, i have a piece of tube one side and a nut they other,will take a pic tomorrow show what i meanComment

I figured out what you meant about the links. Here is what i made. Plus there is a couple of pics that show the amount of throw.
Also i all ready sealed the boat . But i need to put severasl coats of clear to protect it . Is it okay to us KRYLON for the clear coat, or is it better to use something else?.Last edited by rchippie; 04-12-2010, 07:22 PM.Comment

My VS1 had it's madien voyage today. It was totally AWSOME. The boat was super stable & fast . Even the nitro guys were impressed, with how well it handled. Im using a UL-1 motor on 4s with a 42/55 grimracer prop.
