        I do actually! original.jpg I'm still trying to decide on a design down the sides that still goes well with the Lite theme. As far as paint gold flake will be involved.

            That thing should be strong enough as it is, man.

              Looks good Alex. Are you doing any bulkheads or anything? I have not had my hands on one of these yet so I am not sure how sturdy they are. But if Keith came up with it it is most likely bulletproof ,

                Yea I'm definitely doing one small one out of some 2 mm carbon fiber plate up in the front about mid way where it has some flex. Other than that it's thick and very ridged.

                  Yeah well I like the look of this cloth as its a tighter weave. Plus it being capable of high speeds I don't want to regret not reinforcing atleast where all the heavy batteries and electronics are.

                      I had one and that boat was plenty strong enough as it was, all you did was add weight and slow it down. But hey you could probably run it over with a truck now...

                        Yea... my hull weighs 6.4 lbs. Probably would be good for 500 mph.

                          Don't be afraid to strengthen your hulls if you're trying to go fast guys.

                            Agreed, if you read through my Fantasm build you may ask why the stringers and bulkheads but anyone wanna go theough my vids and counts the crashes? She is still going 2+ years later

                              I think Kevin Pratt did an inlay in his kbb45, there wasn't much that could slow that boat down
