So, this hull was given to me by a club member at a prodomintley gas pond. Thanks again bro! Anyways, wasn’t planning on building this big. So I looked at it for a few weeks, read a lot.

Thanks Jessie j, f.a.r.m.e.r, scorpion and pry a few on rcg. First thing I looked for was how am I gonna power this with the least amount of money. T mono is not a big class, however, the twin gassers at the pond run every Sunday. So, I read and came up with castle 2028 780kv on 10s. Great, there’s one in my 1/5 buggy that is too fast to run in front of the house now. Next was esc. Went with flier 300. Cheap and good reviews. Batteries next I had 2 6s 5000mah 60/120c that were about to become useless. They may have 10 cycles on them. Also, had some 4s, same thing as 6 cells. Cool, 10s 10,000mah, I’m good. At this point, all I got money in is esc and ready to start building.
It had stringers in it and building my cyber storm, I’d rather put a carbon fiber lay-up in. Also, I got ose mount that can go either way. Stringers were glasses in with tape underneath. Got utility knife, started cutting. Got the dremel out for some of it, then got the stringers rocking back and forth until the broke loose. Used dremel and sandpaper to clean up the rest of the epoxy/resin still on the boat.

After that was done. Got the carbon fiber/Kevlar mat out and started fitting. I like and use the west systems 105 top coat resin. This lay-up was my first this big, 22”x36”. Started By the transom in the middle and worked the right side down. I’m using fast hardener so I did this in 2 sessions. Left it lay on its side so I wouldn’t puddle in the center. Then, I flipped over on left side and did that in 2 sessions. Let all of it sit a day, then applied light second coat in 1 session. Got all this done while motor mount, hardware, esc,and cooling can was being shipped.
