Rio ep scratch build

[Alexgar]

A little late but I use 3m 77 contact glue to stick the cloth and then used epoxy resin but I cured it with a fan as not to distort the plastic

Hey it's getting there,
But If was me I would swop the trim tabs around.
So the angle edge is on the out side of the hull sides,
That will give the hull more ride pad area to ride on at high speeds.
And should give better handling to the boat all around to.

Cool thanks for the info I was also wondering what does everyone use to waterproof the transom bolts?

A little dab of silicone on the threads works for me,
Also to just run it on one 2s or 3s pack.
Just lay the pack side ways in front of the servo,
Or have a removable wedge to mount under the cell in the center of the hull.
So it will be on a angle to clear the motor and jacket by a hair or so,
Like mine does with the old cell mount still in place.
It also give me a little room to move my cell forward and backward to adjust the weight some,
I think that would work fine to for your boat,
Get some new pictures up of the inside layout so we can see.

Nothing usually but plumbers putty works awesome

Got some turn fins made today for the rio gonna mount them tomorrow.
The inside of the boat is still not done yet I haven't mounted anything so I'm open for suggestions on how the layout should be.

Here are the turn fins I made today. I will post pics of the new ones and the old ones side by side later to see the difference in size.
