    First build... Cheap boat, lots of power

    So here it is.. i got this cheap old boat from some online place for 30 bucks a while ago... Its a deep v as you will see in the pictures... It was brushed twin motor. I am trying to convert to brushless. Well now i have it where its 1 motor and a rudder. So... Heres the parts list.

    Turnigy 3656 2700kv motor
    Turnigy 120a esc
    Turnigy nano tech 3s. 45-90c
    Traxxas rudder assembly.
    Boat hull

    I tried this in many tuning options.. either way, it sucks air... I have reved it up very low sucked air... Wow right! I have about 4 different props of different pitch i can try. Havent tried them all but i am willing to re drill holes... And start fresh. I want this to run good. Help me know where to drill and what i can do. I need help choosing shafts, and other parts.


    Now the pics...

                                  I mean no disrespect, but I would walk to the nearest dumpster and heave that thing where it belongs.

                                          Get one of these and use the parts you have.

                                          Youre trying to build a headache. I say this because ive been there and done it. The hull isnt worth it. The DF is cheap and will handle much better. Its a better start for a guy that hasnt built a boat before.

                                                  Whats better?
                                                  Mini storm or delta force...
                                                  They use same hardware and motor just the mini storm is smaller...

                                                      make sure the prop is not right against hull, move out more
