Ok so this is my first build, I will need lots of input from anyone who can give it. I haven't seen anyone with one of these on the forum so its unique to me. The Banjee is a bait boat with a jet drive from South Africa. It's 39" Long by 14" wide and about 16" tall. It weighs in at 6.5 lbs. with jet drive. The drive is already installed the way I bought it. The boat is self righting so I really like that feature after rolling my Mystic and my Impulse and having to go retrieve multiple times this will be a welcomed bonus. The hatch bolts down with some wing nuts, and has a massive seal. It comes with a carrying handle that looks to be made of a material like a seat belt very tough.There are a set of LED lights on the top of the cabin for some added late night driving. The guy who makes these is looking for a distributer here in the US to get these hulls out, so if you are interested i can give you his contact info to help get that going. The postal service broke the steering nozzle so i have to wait for a replacement, maybe some superglue will give me a temporary crutch for now. Shipping from South Africa can be a pain because the postal service there is always on strike.
So far I have a:
- MGM 28026-3 lite
- Sirius 1717 1580kv 4 pole motor
- 2 Revolectrix 4s 5500mah 70c lipos
I need:
- Motor mount
- servo mount if it can't be mounted with motor
- lipo trays
- plate or mounting box for rx and esc
- Help in wiring up the led lights, may be as simple as a small battery pack?
- antennae mount
- water outlets for cooling
I'm considering a carbon inlay to reinforce the hull. Just don't know if I will reach speeds to require it?
The jet drive is a 30mm unit. It is 2 1/4"wide by 5"long without nozzle.
- I need help determining how to make a template for the motor mount. I've seen people make them from cardboard or some other material but just not sure where to start.
- In regards to the motor I may have to go with a lower kv? This is another area i have no clue about with a jet drive.
