    Yeah! I'm pretty proud of the result, especialy because it's a cheap configuration and because it's the first run with the Feigao motor!
    I'll test different prop next time, but I need to get some sort of in-board analizer, really need to know precisely where I am and where I'm going in term of Amps and rpm!

      No Steven they are in // so that's 14,4V 4400mA
      I did choose to have 2 packs in // because I think the average internal resistance is lower than 1 pack that would have the same capacity, so a better general efficiency.

        Well its at a stand still right now, im bidding on a new soldering iron on ebay to solder my deans and bullet connectors and Im waiting for hydras to be in stock and for me to have some $$. house, 2 jeeps, kid, on my one income are killing me. I need a credit app for OSE! Next week I will finish all the details and take pics of final steps. grinding flats on motor shafts, prop shafts, and install electrics. I was gonna use waterproof box but ran outta room.

              thats a cool lookin boat, cant read what they are saying but pics are cool, just a single in that one. I had to go twin. If I ever build another I will have plenty of parts! Ive gotten my prop shafts ground 1 motor shaft and I think if I can get the hydras I will be ready to go.

                  No runs yet. I just received my esc's this week. 2 120's. Ive gotta solder and figure out cooling and It should be gettin wet in 2 more weeks. Im goin campin for 4 days otherwise I would do it this week. Ive also goot to say this boat has about 50 hours of building, making parts. reinforcing fitting. securing. wiring, and about 850.00 of purchased parts. It was probly too much for my first build in years. so expect vids good or bad shortly.

                          Ran this for first time. What cant I say about this thing. it is WILD! I mean loose and sloppy to drive. I didint get film yet but I willl this week. I did throw Garmin in and fastest speed read 62 even. I was very happy to see it run. took a few adjustments on struts and there is a small water leak still I want to take care of. pics tonight at least. It throws about 10' tall 15' long roost.. people at lake were in aww. until weeds got hung up on rudder.
