      This boat is ridiculous. I'm really liking the look of big super powerful v hulls. I think it has to do with all of the hardware hanging off the back the back of this boat is intimidating.

          Thanks guys, this one might take some time to complete. I can only move as fast as my wallet will allow.
          Installed the hatch bolts. The sides were a little narrow, so I added small cf tabs to mount to.

              Joel,

              Are you powering this beast with the 600kv or the 910kv version?

              Thx

                  I really like this build! I think that I will use this build as a blue print for my next build. I will do a few things different to make it mine but not far from this build. I love it, nice!

                      From the pictures it looks like the trimtabs are mounted level with the bottom of the hull?
                      If so you could better raise them 1,5-2mm otherwise they will create drag.

                      Keep the pictures coming!!

                        A special thanks to Fightercat for manufacturing the motor mount.

                        I fitted the motors and it should work out well. I'll be taking this to work and removing some material to lighten it up a bit. It's at 6lbs with the motors as it sits.

                        Next I have to secure this behemoth to the hull.

                          Looking good Joel. I can't wait to a video of it.

                            ESCs came in. Because of the way the wires come out the bottom, I needed to come up with a way of mounting them and still look cool..





                            A little 3M Very High Bond 2 way tape...





                            Mounted them to a piece of CF plate.





                            I cut the switch out and solder the wires together. Then mounted the connectors in the grommets.





                            They are mounted to the hull using threaded standoffs and weld nuts epoxied in place.

                                Probably the cleanest esc setup I've seen. wow to how you mounted the bullet connectors especially.
