Gang,

I've completed updating my TS-2 with the new full length radio box... This was the basis for the drawings I provided... With everything located as it is... balance point is about 9", which is 1/2" behind where it's recommended, so I have plenty of room to move it forward... It handled great a 9.5" last time out, so I'm expecting similiar results when I get to test it again...

All up weight for this hull with 4S1P of Poly RC 20C 4350 mah pack (actually... two 2S1P 4350 packs in series... so a tad heavier than a 4S pack by itself)... is 5lbs 12oz...

Just a couple more...

re :

Thanks for the photos ! Answers some questions I had about interior layout. Am awaiting outdrive & Hi-Jack [ yup, had to have one]. Also, although everyone has their "special" prop, which one would you suggest to be a good starting point ?

Well I kick mine off tonight :D. Paypaling Captian Vic this afternoon for the mount. I should have my ridepads curing by bed time.

GOt my spiffy jack plate today. Radio box is built. Tonight I'll strap the motor to the transom and install the servo.

God willin' an if the crick don't rise I should be able to run this thing this Sunday. Even better I hope to have the big Cat with me as well. Depends on time this week, plus I have to spend most all of the weekend at the AMA show in Ontario.

Too much fun.

Darin, very nice work sir!

I am getting there... that box wasnt as easy as you all made it sound...heheh I change a few things. I utilized the waterproof fitting from the SV and will send all the wires and water hoses threw that. The boat is basically finished or should I say roughed in now I will disassemble everything and begin the final product. Just ordered a new set of Lipo's, a set of 5350's just for this boat. Only one problem.... I dont have a prop...ohhh nooooo I sold my last X642 and the M445's dont fit, there just a tad to big. Anyway, by next week she will be done.

Flicking threw the channels yesterday I came up on a real tunnel race, these tunnels are awsom. I have always loved the tunnel boats, this one is gonna be my favorite I can tell already...
