This was sent to me quite some time ago to do a RCBoat Mag build article but some of my other builds were in line first. I finally got a break in the customer build time slot so after some thinking (and with a yen to do a crazy hyperbuild) I scored the absolutely MONSTER TP Power 4070 2Y 2200KV motor and the also huge new Swordfish 240 Pro II and went to work. (As an aside I'll say that the TP Power 4060 2040KV motor with a Swordfish 220A would be wicked fast and very appropriate but a 100mm long motor with the right prop should be a bizarrely wild ride so WTF)
Rather than getting too specific with details, the pictures tell the story (mostly)

Anything I build that's going to see heavy duty use gets the full Speedmaster 60/90 strut & rudder treatment. Lots of modding must be done to right-size these pieces but the end result is a bulletproof drive system. Rudder raised, shortened and servo arm flipped for "pull to turn right". (these can be ordered from R-S if need be)

.250 strut stepped down for 3/16"

To hold the turns at full chat chose I used a Insane Boats turnfin

hatch should stay on but be removed quickly if need be
