Matrix build

[kevakov]

Hello everyone, new member here, I have a completed Matrix that I built, only have three runs on it, so far its a runner for sure. The set-up is a Neu 1512 1.5D with water jacket, Fuller hardware, X637 prop, CC Hydra240, flex cable, 2 Air Thunder 5000 mAh 3s1p 11.1 volt lipos, for 10,000 mAh runtime, up to 5 minutes, Futaba 2.4 radio, removable sponsons, custom turn fin. Got alot of help from the Rum Runner folks, without them it would have been hard to learn everything .

Very neat setup , What sort of speeds are you attaining?

I havent had a GPS on it yet, I still need to tune the back end, and I need to run it on some smooth water, also I 've had to send back the CC Hydra 240 twice for repairs, CC has been great about the repairs, they are sending out a new one, but I've had two months of down time waiting for them, but no charges at all. I have a video on You tube, Lipo Matrix.

Here is the link for the You Tube video, watch in high quality and notice that my driving skills arent anywhere near my building skills!!! This was the second run , at the end it rolled over and got soaked, but everthing is working fine now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk7TVMr6-Is

Looks to be running a little agressive, very quick 4s boat.
I'm considering building a 4s H&M Mr.Krabs rigger for next year.

I have a Matrix Ultimate new in the box that I may build, I may customize it slightly and change the sponsons somewhat, but my next boat will be a Mean Machine that has a quick build time, I spent almost a year building the Matrix.

kev, very nice build. i really miss my rigger.
we went to watson lake and met with a group of guys and crawled w/ our rc crawlers,the rocks are awesome around there.

The video of the Matrix is at Watson Lake, I have seen the rock crawlers there, have a friend that runs his heli there too. Looks like my next run will be this Saturday. Also want to go to Lake Mary in Flag before it gets real cold.

For Jimmy Sterling and everyone else, I got around to getting a Garmin Geko GPS, and had a run of 52.4 MPH !! Still working on the tune of the back end and props for this Matrix.
