    Naked works! I live in the Naked capitol of the world. There are about 15 nudist resorts in our county. A couple of 'em have lakes!

      Bummer ... I was hoping the stickers would cover up my goofs before the general public saw the boat.

              Hey Diego;
              That boat sure turned out to be great looking.
              Does it spin out?????
              Looks like it goes good too.
              great job!

                Thank you!
                No spin-outs, so no turn-fins needed! She runs very well too. I'm pleased

                I just need to be sure the TX batteries are the proper voltage to give me some range.

                  Ive got the boat these jets where intended for (2)... i was planning 2 feiago 8xl's on 4s, would be straight line speed only as its a fast scale boat, would these be overkill? it is a big ish boat... on 4s

                  im sure there the same jet units just i have the reverse mechanism attached...
                  geared 1:2 i think (forgot to mention)

                    Nice boat! What is the length? Who makes it? Is it a Graupner boat? Is it fiberglass or ABS plastic? Sorry to ask so many questions but I'm thinking about building a scale boat and I really like the one you have pictured!

                      Diego,

                      Do you have any video footage of this boat running? Would love to see it! I found this on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ6ABJfr7Fk

                      But the sound has been disabled...

                          I'm always VERY impressed with these major scale builds... VERY nice. Would love to see more pics.

                            it's had graupner 700 bb turbo's for about a year on 9,6v sticks each... nice scale speed nothing impressive, the inside is abit of a mess because i needed to modify bits after installing the deck which is HARD this is about the only pic i have of before i stripped the 700's, the feiago install isnt complete...


                            wow wrong pic

                              Hey Diego;
                              I learned how to crash Planes this summer. Great fun. and faster than boats.
                              I didn't stray too far, they are all Seaplanes. I live on a lake remember.
                              I just signed a Dealership agreement with Pulso, they make brushless motors for planes and ESCs to run them, along with Helicopters, Cars and Boats. Boat ESCs from 40A up to 200A. They look good, I haven't recieved my first order of stock yet, I tested a motor before I signed. Nice motor. I should get a shipment next week.
                              Have you run the rapids with that pretty boat yet ??
