Almost finshed! Just need to throw the prop on and take her to the water!

Looks nice! you do that paint yourself or is it mainly vinyl/stickers?

[birdy233]

Thanks!! I just painted the orange/white the rest are vinyl decals.

Hey looks great, but did you glue the sponsons on? They are upside down.

[birdy233]

no, not glued yet...oops!

sponsons. LMAO i hope that was a joke :)
looks good .

If you swap them then your turnfin bracket will be on the wrong side. Mine is pretty quick. Good luck with yours. Check out my build.

What do you mean?

To be nice, the sposons are upside down. Trying to flip them over is going to place the turn fin on the wrong side.
You've got some work to do before it hits the water otherwise it's going to submarine with them on that way.

Thanks, they weren't glued yet, just finished painting the other day. All done should be good now...

What prop and electronics are you planing to run? I plan to run mine today after I made adjustments. These little things fly! Watch the heat, after about 6-8 laps I bring mine in and the heat on the motor is super hot, I added a fan to mine, but I haven't had a good run to check it out. Hope your maiden voyage goes well!

[birdy233]

It has the Phoenix 25 Esc, the outrunner motor that comes with the kit, Hitec feather servo, and 3 cell lipos. Gear already is in it, ready to go! Alas, I won't run her though. I have a Blackjack 55 gas boat and it's a blast. I'm selling off some of my electrics because I came across a smoking deal on a Miss Ellam 1/8 gas boat I couldn't pass up. So now I need the funds for that!

What would be a good price point for this? 2 new lipo packs, the boat, all electronics, radio, radio sharpened and balanced X432 prop from Offshore Electrics?? Everything is new..hmmm!

[ace028]

Well, sad to hear you sell it already, Not sure on the price though. If you run it you might never go back to gas powered lol. If you are selling it what batteries are they, I may be interested in one or both batteries and the x432 prop if you would sell them seperately from the whole setup.

[birdy233]

Thanks! I love my electrics, but I run on a little bit choppy water and when I cart out all my boats and can run pretty much wide open with my BJ 55 for about 25 minutes without a problem. I just don't get that with my electrics, just a different type of fun!

I may think about spiltting it if someone doesn't need the lipos. They are zippy Lipos' one a 1300mah 20c the other a 1200mah 30c. I think I paid about $50 shipped for both.
