1400mm Catamaran (Super Daytona) build.

[twissted]

I'm trying to build a boat that hits triple digits on a buget.
It my not happen but is my goal. I started with the Fightercat racing 60" hull.
It was ordered yesterday. So I should get it in about a week.
Today I bought a bunch of the hardware from HOR racing. I love this seller he is fast shipper and sells with my wallet in mind. I know that the parts are nock-offs. And that is part of the reason that they cost less. I See that other boats like the one I'm about to build use the same parts and they seem to work well. I should also add that I own a 42" Zonda that uses the same types of parts but on asmaller scale. I like them and the Design of the hulls. Both boats use Kevlar in there hulls. I think for this build that I will use some bracing that looks to make the boats much stronger. I already have The speed controls and the batteries. This will help with the cost of the build.

triple digits easy with aluminum propellers.

Heads up .. the 1/4 brass&teflon tube you priced from MHZ wont suit the 1/4 flex shafts shown in the HOR order above it.

You need 11/32 to suit 1/4 flex.

Thx I will change it. They sent me a bill without giving me the 25.00 dollars off for signing up with them. You saved me! I will have them make changes with the billing.

Getting ahead of my self!

But I was looking at the redline rc and found the Central rc hobbies Mystic 73" boat for 599.00 I think this will be my build after this one. I'm currently building a one off 1/5 4X4 E-truck for racing and it is being put on hold while I build this boat. I did build the frame and servo mounts for the frame. So the truck will get finished before I look at another boat. But it is on my list of things to build now.
You guys want to see the truck chassis that I'm talking about?

drwayne the MHZ 135 that you ran in the video? what speeds are you getting?

[twissted]

I ordered 4mm sheet of carbon fiber for the motor mounts. 2mm should do it for the rest?

mhz135 maxed ~75.
It performed for 6 dates before gutted for kerosene burners ( but that's a mid 2013 build thread )

[TristanJones]

All the best with the build!! (and the thread)

These pictures are from a build that I'm using as a blue print. I bought 4mm sheet and 2mm sheet to make these pieces. I think this looks better.

Wow! I have to admit I didn't expect you to cut out mounts and bulkheads like that...nice work!
