Mystic C5000 1140mm new projet build

[cyprus31]

Yea Kent, I really went mad when I saw the paint. They think that this is a $50- toy. When I told him how much I paid for it and still paying he was shocked

[nata2run]

That's funny, I told the painter the same, he said I'll charge you $50 to paint the hull. I said yeah sure! The hull is more than your car LOL I guess people not into the hobby will never understand. Painter ended up spending the whole day on my hull. Lol

I stopped counting the expenses on the hull. Maybe it's better that way. Sadly you have to get it resprayed.

I finally got it back today. Now looks great. I hope to find some time over the weekend to start with the JBS decal system. Ohhhh this looks difficult.

[nata2run]

Pictures? And yes decals are hard to do.

[cyprus31]

I finally finish installing the decals. Guys this is very hard job to do. MHZ decals of JBS is not what I expected. Hard material not easy to curve at all and in many cases the transfer film was so hard which was impossible to release the sticker on the boat. The 2 main side stickers were totally crap so I decited not to put them. I used parts from them to fill up empty spaces on Mystic. The rest you can see on below pictures. Also below you will see the custom stand and also a custom cover.
Enjoy. IMG_0786.jpgIMG_0788.jpgIMG_0789.jpgIMG_0790.jpgIMG_0791.jpg

Now I am waiting the struts and some other carbon parts to be delivered from MHZ Germany. I alrealy have the boat for more than 3 weeks and still waiting those parts to arrive. I cant beleive these people.

I haven't put my decals on yet as I own the exact set, not looking forward now after reading this Cyprus31. Rigged the same hull but used dif motors:scorpion out runners 3026, 2300kv 200amp esc's. The MHz edition hk's with the built in cooling lines... Shweeet!

[Pwb201]

Btw why are you waiting so long? It took less than a week for my entire order of hull and hardware that I ordered just before winter this past year 2011. Shirley ? I presume was the contact of whom you ordered from. If not try emailing her she's quick with responses and was very helpful to me. Good luck any questions feel free pwb201

[nata2run]

I'm the same got everything in less than 10 days?? Shirley ROCKS :)

[nata2run]

By the way, does anyone have a template for the windscreen? a scan or a file I can cut out? I thought i would ask before I spend hours the hard way.

[cyprus31]

Hi Kent (nata2run)
the windscreen sticker came sticked on a white A4 page so I wouldn't be able to copy it for you. Another guy in this topic has it Pwb201 and he can scan it and email it to you. I will also write him to ask him through this forum.

[cyprus31]

Hi Pwb201 and welcome to this forum.
Shirley from MHZ Germany indeed is very helpful person. They they shipped the Mystic over to me I didnt know that the struts and other carbon parts were out of stock. They could easily informed me prior.
I finally got an email from her yesterday that the missing parts came in stock and she shipped them to me. Now I will have to wait another 2 weeks for parts to arrive in Cyprus.

A small favour to ask. Could you please upload a scanned copy of the windscreen black sticker? Please scan it 100% size so can Kent (nata2run) will cut a copy.

Be very carefull with the stickers. This is very hard job to do. I got a friend of mine which its his proffesion doing decals and he said this was the most difficult job he did in his carear. As you will see on above photos the 2 big side stickers with flames were not fitted because they kept bending during the proccess and I went so mad about this and peeled them off.

Have fun.

[nata2run]

oh ok sweet, thank you. Hope to see some more pictures soon....

[nata2run]

Nick, looks fast already! Love the cowl locks! How did you do it? Cause that's the only thing I'm missing on mine. Except graphics and more bling LOL. I know you hated the decals, but be extra careful installing hardware and drilling the wrong holes...remember the water intake, as close as possible to the tunnel, and 15mm from rear. You want to go fast so you need some cooling.
