      Hello!
      First of all, congratulations on the job. It is excellent.
      I am interested in building a hydro like this. Can you send me the plans? Thanks in advance!

        Power setup:
        -3S 2200mAh (25C ) LiPo (8$)
        -Motor 4800Kv (10$)
        -Prop is Horracing prop 32mm (8$)
        -ESC 40A (10$-cheapest in HK 50A max)

        I enjoy building the models. I like the materials. But when it comes to gear I become an cheapbastard
        When it rips trought the wather I am happy. Then I come home and study for my next project (the same design but larger scale - Hydro1 racing).

        @Volcano:
        I can send you my plans. But you must send me your email.
        The document is in dwg format (avtoCAD). You can download a DWG to PDF converter if you want to cut the wood by hand.

          I blew a 120A esc running 4800kv on 2S, although I was using a 40mm prop.
          it should work though if you're mindful of the temperature.

            I got that ESC for second season and works fine. I made custom Al cooling pipes on it and they are doing their job like they are supposed to do.
            If I burn it. I will just order another one for 10$

            I was thinking to use a 4S pack but I do not have room (maybe is that a good thing? )

              that's about 78K unloaded, wayy too much, if you have the money it would be a fun 2 seconds!

                      that's a similar article on OSE, i'm assuming it's about the same.
