heath is right, you can get everything from OSE.

i like this build and the 1st one the same, only thing is i think it needs the extra support that i added to this build when running extreme power, i feel confident that this one will hold together the way that it was beefed up in the front sponsons. as far as setup, the best motor may be the L size feigao, i just happen to have a bunch of XL size motors on hand, thats why i used an XL and the extra weight seems to help a tad for high speed stability, it may be better to go with an L size though and bigger batteries to come up with the same weight that way and be less strain on the lipos, the key would be to find a L size in the kv of about 1500 to 1700 if your running a 6s lipo like me. the current setup with the XL looks like i am getting about 70 mph, but no gps, just a guess because it looks faster to me than the 66 mph gps run that i did with the 1st boat.

but your rudder is on the wrong side

Why did you decide to mount the rudder port side? just curious as I'm gonna buit this boat soon.

Hi, sorry about the very long delay but this boat stuffed itself under right as I let off the throttle. It never came back up (I think it went all the way to the 7 ft bottom and stuck in the mud) we dredged for it for about 11 hours and gave up. I stopped boating for a while but now I have started modifying a miss geico with a castle 2200 motor and also a 3rd vortex.

I think that I may have come up with a way to stop the catastrophic failure of the vortex so that this doesnt happen again and I loose a 3rd complete boat. I put a small anti submarine wedge in the front of each sponson, im testing it right now.

I will get some pics soon and also some more input after a few more runs and adjustments.
