    My first rc boat

    Hy! I want to share with you my first build.The boat hull is made from balsa wood and coverd in fiberglass resin.
    The motor is a 3500kv outrunner.
    Esc SeaKing 35A
    And the batery will come soon (i made a order on hobbycity and im waiting for it)
    I made a small test in my dogs bathtub.Soon as i will have the 3 s lipo i will make a new video of it on the lake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAiE6hO3kx0

      That thing sounds cool! Can't wait to see her in action. Be careful that balsa is not gonna handle smacking anything.

          THe motor no.. IT is mounted on a big aluminium plate that is cooled by the water passing the hull.The esc will be conected to the ruder pick up.Tn the bath tub test it didn`t get eaven warm.


          Thanx for the pisitive respounse.And sorry for my bad english.

            There is nothing wrong with your English. It is better than some of what I read here from folk who use it daily.

            Your boat looks very nice and I commend you on building it from balsa.
            I have a few balsa hulls and have grown to know the strengths and limitations of it. Done well with a bit of hardwood or thin ply it is a very nice material to build with.

            Looking forward to sseing how yours goes.
            3S on a 3500kv outrunner has to be good.
            See it....find the photos.....sketch it it....build it........with wood
