[grsboats]

Hi guys

this is my last project: a 3S rigger with low cost electronic's using a 540 car motor,120A esc and 3S 5.0A 45C batteries...you can see the building of the prototype on my page at :http://grsboats.com.br/novosite/?portfolio=grx-fe-3-s .....a fiber version will be availabe soon using a Leopard 3650.

Its maiden voyage at :https://youtu.be/OBev3abCa44 ....she will be our beginners class .
Thanks
Gill

Thanks for sharing!!

Capnswanny...this will be our entry level boat face turmoil we are facing here downsouth(Brazil).....I only built the hull...electronics was borrowed from fast friends as an attemp to keep r/c boating activities alive as for us with the change in the clouds.i.e. dollar versus real....even cheap hardware can be a problem for many interested guys....hope everything goes true for this part of the world.
Thanks for the kind words.

I want one! I have a castle 3800kv motor sitting here

[grsboats]

with the release of the fiber version...quite different than this one....I will post it.The Leopard we will use is a 3900kv so your motor will be good too. Thanks Gill

Ok some time went by but I'm back to this project now with a Leo motor......an important upgrade over the car motor even on 3S.

Hey Gill check out that little red rigger with a little 28mm turnigy motor

[grsboats]

Nice red rigger. in my case the club decided for an entry level boat for novices/beginners to only run 3S boats so the top speed for a heat boat is adequate for these guys.

New motor Leo 3660 2600KV on 3S.....great handling and speed:https://youtu.be/jTP_fcYAjh0

Wow that thing is a rocket and glued to the water! What does a rigger like this weigh roughly?

[grsboats]

Thanks Mxkid...ready to run about 1,3 kg with a 5.0A bat.In this case I also swapt the previous 120Aesc to a T-180V3....prop is a stock X438!
