    Be careful of the screw heads rubbing against the lipo's. I used button head allen screws to minimize this in the El Lobo and now my PI hull.

    But it does look very neat and clean!

      Thanks for that tip Chuck! I was actually thinking about how the lipos will rest against them....I think button heads are the way to go...less worries!

              Thanks Jason! I definately want a clean build. I don't really like seeing wires and such scattered throughout the hull if I can get away with it....

              Now having a boat with 4 2S packs is a different story....right Mike?

                Very nice....You probably could sell your rail set-up to others who aren't able to make that...or those who prefer just to buy that then make themselfs.

                    now i see what is going on... the only reason kent is building this one is to break 1000 post.
                    but seriously this is looking like a quality build...

                        Well...I was very surprised to find a package in the mail today that I was not expecting...I opened the box and inside it was a carefully packaged prop from my two favorite FE Directors from D-12 and D-13...Chilli Mike and Doug Smock!! Thanks so much guys!! This is just what the Rico will need! Very nice work on the prop Doug!

                        You guys are the best!

                        -Kent

                          Go get em!!!!

                          BTW Fixing you up with a prop was Mikes idea but don't feel like you have to cut him any slack on the race course.

                          Good luck Kent!
