Are you Shawn S.?

No I am not, but we were battling speed goals back and forth for the longest time. He is a great guy and easy to talk to.

Thanks a million, I'm aiming for the the same approximate speed. Now I now what I have to do.

Bear in mind Brad that a HPR should be way more efficient on water than that Fantasm of mine. Also a crapload better on light chop. I am told if you can keep a HPR light it will handle better.
But, I have 1690kv motors(LMT) and will be going 6s2p on each of those. I may try 1 battery per motor to test the handling theory.

Thanks, I've been doing loads of reading up and I've noticed the German/Swiss contingent seem to follow that train of thought.
I'll keep you all updated as I go.

Thanks for all the advice...I've ordered 2x 180amp ESCs and 2x TP 4050 2350kv motors. They were shipped from OSE yesterday, so everything should be here in a week.

Will post a few pics as soon as my goodies start to arrive.



I can buy Savox servos locally, will a 25 Kg be ok for this application?

Just got these pics from the guys at HPR.
My boat is ready and should be delivered
in the next couple of weeks.

Really like that hull! Looking forward to your build. What drives are you using? And are you making all the mounts yourself?

[Bradb74]

Me too, I'm using the HPR drives. Not sure who makes the though. I'll attach a pic. Im not making the mountings, because this is my first boat build I opted to order the mounting kit from HPR. I think I'm way to inexperienced to make all the mounts myself.

My motors and a few more parts arrived this week ( thanks to the guys at OSE) so I got the basics out of the way, soldering the connectors on. The hull was shipped off on Friday so should be in South Africa shortly.
I'll attach some pics of my progress.
