Looking good! What powerplant and prop are you going to run?

[txboatpilot]

Looks great!! What esc and batteries are you going with??

[FE_Chris]

prop is gonna start with a worked over x442.

ESC is a hacker 77 I have laying around. Or a hydra 120.

All my batteries are Polyquest 25-30c, I have a set of 10000Mah 2s1p Tanic packs 10c, and I have a set of Dualsky 5000Mah 2s1p 22c cells.

Kinda a mix of lipos. I run mostly PQ, but I like to try others when the price is right. The tanic packs work great! nice cells for sure! I have not tested the dualsky packs...they should be pretty good I hope!

Is that a bj26 motor?

[FE_Chris]

Dom, Yes. I find out on sunday at our club meeting wether or not they are going to be deemed legal like the SV27 motor is. The SV27 motor really is the stock motor of choice for clubs, but ours wants people with a BL BJ26 to be able to come and run also! But I dunno, cause the motors are NOT the same. IMO the BJ motor has a little more oomph then the SV27 motor, runs cooler IMO too.....

FE_Chris- any update or is everything still frozen?

I'm sure glad we have water all year around here.

Chris, build is looking sharp! I may have missed the earlier post, but what type of hardware is that you have hooked up there?

Snow is starting to melt here.....problem is there is about 4 feet of it. LOL! Come on spring....

[calcagno45]

Man you guys need to move south, or mail me your rigs to run while you cant!! lol

I cant wait to start my cat build.

[Skunk Works]

Its the anticipation! LOL! The gearing up for a new season, can almost taste it!

I am sure Steve will agree....there is some open water starting to show up here in the Northeast.
