Kbb 34" mono build

[kfxguy]

I've been wanting to build a mono for a little tougher water running. I also want to see how fast I can make one go. When I saw this hull I fell in love with its sleek looks. So I ordered one. Few days later it can in and I was super impressed with the quality of it. Now on to the goodies

Here's my components. I have everything except for the esc, it's on the way to me. Ordered it tonight

Motor: lehner 2260 (and after I see how fast we can go, I just bought a brand new 1527 1500kv from the ose store to make it more for sport running)
Esc: mgm 25035-3 x2
Servo: savox 0231
Collet: mbp billet
Flex: 3/16 aeromarine
Hardware: 3/16 strut with carbon flood tube and separate rudder

First thing is first, we need an inlay done....

Like every build I have seen from you, looks great!

I decided I eanteda flood tube with a strut because I want height to be adjustable too and not just angle. Head on over to my lathe and make a end cap for the carbon tube.







The grooves are for the epoxy to grab better. Here it is assembled.

Here's the 1527 that will end up in it.



And the lehner going in it for now the lehner is actually for my shocker but that will be a whole before I get to that.




Layout idea.

Flood tube and aligning the motor

Time to mount the motor using my old trusty mix of jb weld and graphite powder to darken it.



And this is where I'm at right now. Waiting on the esc before I move forward to make sure it all fits the way I want.

You are going quick :) Keep it going!
Where did you get the carbon tubing?
Thanks!

I have a few things i can do but i'm waiting on the esc to make the mount for it. I can work on the rear tho. I'm going to make a support for the front of the flood tube, then make a plate that goes over the flood tube that the servo, bec and receiver mount to. then a cover to go over those components. I have the software now to run my cnc router so i'll need to get up to speed on that here soon. That will help with cutting things out for sure. I got the tube from ebay, there a seller who specializes in it...its very nice tube. I'll get the seller for you sometime today.

That would be nice! Thank you!

What are you using to support the flooded tube to get get the angle lined up? I see some shavings.

What are you using to support the flooded tube to get get the angle lined up? I see some shavings.

The flood tube is mounted and aligned perfectly. You can't tell but the tube coming out the flood tube is slightly angled up. It will have a little triangle of carbon for support made of 3mm material. I am aware that the stuffing tube needs a bend in it and it does inside the flood tube. The shavings are fiberglass and carbon from when I was tweaking the hole. I guess I didn't get all the shavings out at that point.

To begin I will run it on 6s but I plan on pushing it up to 8s. I bought both motors with 8mm shafts to take the additional rpm. The lehner is in the 1600kv range. I plan on seeing just how fast I can go with this hull. Everything is purposely being mounted low for a low cg in an effort to help stability.
