Got my parts today Kent, looks great!!

Cool!! When do we get to see the boat?

Dont hit a fence??? How the hell are you running your boats?????

Once the trays are here and i can get them installed and get all the tubes cut to height for the esc plate... install electronics, plumb it and add floatation i think she'll be about done. Oh i need to get the other hatch painted too. Thatll be my running hatch.


And john, YES I AM.

I didn't hit a fence lol, but I always fear I will. Sadly my newest build did, lucky nothing major happened.

Hi, i just finished reading ur whole thread after i decided to build my first double motor cat. I tried to build MHZ 1380 but it was so poor finished that i sent it back, and now ordered HPR135 bulletproof, so ur build will be inspiration for me :) (beside the painters job ofc )
Which props will you be using, ive read Octura X457 (3 blades?) but is it final size or just first step? Which shaft are you using 3/16 or 1/4? I have 1/4 shafts are they available in this size so far i fiund only 60mm+?
Ill start my own thread after i get hull so will be pleased if you visit it from time to time with some advices :)

Regards
Maciek

Maciek, congrats on your hpr135! They are awesome, both looking and driving. Not sure what you got but they mainly run 1/4 shaft turned to 3/16 to fit most props. Depending on you motor/esc setup, you can start with 447 props and work from there. You can get 80mph with 447 props and not put a great amount of load on your system. Later you can then run larger and cut down props. What power system do you plan running? Those boats can quickly become too fast lol

Sad to hear buddy, hopefully you get a chance to finish her off. Did a move myself, and man it's pain to get back into it all and find room. Be cool!
