Keith's FC Daytona Twin

[HYDROJERRY]

you so funny Keith,,hay get to work i wanna see more!!! Did you make plates for the inside to reinforce where the stingers mount?? any pics of the inside,,

[keithbradley]

The inside really looks the same as it does in teh pics I posted earlier, with the exception of bolts/nuts from the stingers. I didnt make any plates, when I layed the Carbon fiber I double layered the sponson transoms for extra support, so no plates are needed.

I probably wont get a whole lot done on the boat in the next couple days. I have too many other things going on right now and wont have the time. I may get back at it thursday or Friday, if not over the weekend.

I no that feeling thats why i havent started my own build log yet,, it would probly bore everyone but maybe soon!!! But ill keep watching yours!!!

[keithbradley]

I haven't updated this in a while...I've had a lot of other stuff keeping me busy but it's about time I get this one done. As far as I know, the fastest pass with this hull has been 87mph...just sayin'.

Motor mounts are in and the servo mount tray is fitted. I also made a fighter cat themed carbon fiber cover plate.

Super-duper special high speed ultra fast performance propellers. I haven't finished them yet, just a quick primary balance. They make the boat look fast just sitting there though.

[HYDROJERRY]

Hell yeah!!!

[keithbradley]

This boat is finished. Motor mounts, motors, stuffing tubes/supports, ect are all in. I ran today and had an ESC pop in it. I'm in the mood where I'm ready to either throw stuff or sell everything. Anyone intesrested in a beautiful twin dayton with or without motors?

Hang in there dude! I just toasted a $330 Castle ICE hv today...............feel any better??? LOL

Set boats aside for a few days and then figure out why it happened. Its such a nice build.............

[keithbradley]

I saw your post. That sucks.

In reality, I think I have two bad 120HV ICEs. It's a long story, you would have to read my last post in the "anyone from castle?" thread.

I know I can be quick on the draw with these things, but it just gets old. I put all that time and effort into a build and then cover it with burnt ESC smoke. It cleaned up fine (wasn't full nuclear like my 32" cat meltdown), but I don't have the money to buy new ESCs right now. There's almost $500 in ESCs here, and I didn't even get one day of enjoyment out of them. Every minute I spent with this boat was trying to get the ESCs to work properly...I probably never got it over 30mph. What a waste.

Luckily the boat was right next to me and I was able to un-tape and pull all the wires loose so it didn't burn or damage the hull.

If you treated them properly, castle will replace them, or at least should, they aren't hobbyking, and I would go pretty far to get a replacement on 500$ worth of paperweight

I intend on trying. However, not having reciepts may pose a problem.

[Boaterguy]

Yeah, that could be, try your best, or salvage whatever you can.

[tiqueman]

Sorry to hear that Keith. Stick w/ it man. You did a fantastic build. Once you get her goin, this incedent will slowly slide away.

What props are those?

It won't be a problem. They just replaced my 240HV without a receipt. Castle is very good about warranty stuff. Don't sweat it

[Make-a-Wake]

Kinda like buying a 5,000 mile Lexus(or chevy....etc) out of the paper.........then it has a problem, Lexus wont ask for a reciept when you go in for warranty repairs. They built it and its still under warranty.
