    Tomahawk 32 RIB Build Twin Outboards

    Hi all, first post on here.

    No stranger to boats and boat modifying!

    Living on the West coast of Scotland ribs are the definitely required when the *!***!***!***!** goes down

    Here's my full scale

    And here's a couple of RC ribs I made around 5 years ago

    The Yellow one is a brushless outboard converted kyosho viper and the red is a Rib converted Ripmax Interceptor 650.

    Anyway Its been a while so I decided a needed a new project...

    I started off by browsing for something suitable. I prefer a Mono, and the coastline here prefers a Deep V since its only 200ft away from my front door and I found this on ebay

    Its a Tomahawk 32. A fraction bigger than what I've had before but fibreglass over plastic.

    I've opted for the CNC outboards and I'm planning to run 4s

    My target is 45mph, which is gonna be a huge ask of these little outboards, but I gotta have a target

    2x Outboards with 2630KV motors
    2x 50A ESCs
    Single 5000 mAH battery 4s
    4 channel radio
    Lighting system

    Plan is to make a Self righting canopy or A frame for rough days, and a smooth speed version for that target.

      Be careful opening up the image in the posting above as I clicked on it and as well as the image a link to an Asian women dating site opened up as well in the background. Very odd!!!!!!
