JAE33FE Build

[M3Bluegsr]

Here is my JAE33FE that I am close to completing. It will have TP 4082 2310KV, and Swordfish 220A esc, the rest is the complete combo from Zippkitts.

The beginning, doesn't look like an RC Boat..

Looks awesome!! I really want to build one of these for my next boat.

[M3Bluegsr]

Thank you, they are really nice to build. Received the batteries today, need enough power for the TP motor, so I went with Gens Ace - 5800mah - 100c packs.

Let us know how she runs with the T.P. 2320.

Will do, had a small typo its the 2310kv.

Made some progress, hope to maiden tonight. The only thing I would like included in the kit that is missing, is a stand. Would be nice to have a stand that is laser cut with Zipp logo. Not that they are hard to make, would be a nice option.

Might need to paint brass thumbscrews black, pretty much ready for maiden. What would you guys suggest for props to test? I put on an X442 to start and get setup right, then might try the provided 1450, or ABC H7.
