1/12 scale miss budweiser

There are good deals on packs at hobbyking. I was fitting 3s 4400mah packs on either side on mine 40c or better is good. Turnigy or Zippy are decent. I think a 90-120amp ESC and 2600kv (or so) motor. Since this is kinda your first go hobbyking would be a good hunting ground for parts. Should keep costs down.

ok thank you so much for the help.so I need to also get a wireing harness to attach two batteries together

Not the OP’s version, but this pic demonstrates that it is possible to fit everything inside.

Yup, but with the PB Bud the batteries can go on the sides due to the fuller body.

Triton, yes a parallel harness would be in order. Just run something better than Deans plugs. EC5, or something similar.

thanks to both of you on your patience.i checked out hobby king and I like the prices for sure,im planning to order some parts to begin my rebuild shortly.as far as the drive shaft,strut,and prop goes,can I install the new flex shaft in the same hole as the old shaft went.and how much of the old shaft guide should be cut away to allow for the strut to be installed.is there a (correct)size I should try to get as far as the strut that should work with a boat this size.and as for the prop,which one would you recommend.again I thank you for your help and advice.

I got some pics for you here:

First pic is layout, second the hardware, and third is the tube out the bottom. I did not set this one up but I can get a measurement for you when the time comes. I can dig up the strut and rudder for you. I believe they are OSE

[srislash]

Here is the strut which is on it; https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...d=ros-spds-005
I believe this is the rudder: https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...d=ros-spdr-005 but you could use this one as well: https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...prod=ose-80055

thank you for the pics.looks like on the drive shaft assembly you cut off the entire rudder that was on the bottom of the boat to install the flexible shaft.also looks like you cut out the old electrical box to install the batteries behind the motor.at least that's how im seeing it.again I appreciate the advice,glad someone is willing to help out with this.

The battery packs actually go on either side of the motor kinda up in The sponsons. I do have a ‘yet to be converted ‘ hull here in the attic. I should pull it down for reference.

[tritontr19]

im going to start work on mine this weekend.when I was last running the boat I had a crash right before the motor went south.going to fix the hull up and clean the inside up good before I order parts and begin building.i wanted to thank you guys again for your help and as I start building the boat back I may ask some more questions from time to time,as since ive been looking at sec,motors,recievers,etc my brain is going in circles.thanks again!

[srislash]

Ask away and I shall be here.

[tritontr19]

another question.how were you able to access the back of the boat to install the new rudder and strut assembly.my electrical box is in the way and I would have to cut it out in order to get back there to install it

[srislash]

Wow, site was down for a bit. I pulled down my spare Bud. I see your issue, mine too. I would say cut the back wall of that radio box out so you can access the transom. I quite like the waterproof box so try to retain it. Water intrusion is kind of an issue in that area when the boat slows/stops.

[tritontr19]

that's what I was thinking as well,im gonna cut the back of the elec box out and try to save it to epoxy back in when im done installing the rudder and strut.about this flex shaft,there are several sizes and lengths that I see.what would be needed to attach the motor to the shaft and also the prop to the cable.basically what im asking is how do I make this all work.

[srislash]

All you need is an assembled .150 flex with a 3/16” prop shaft. Short prop shaft should be good. You will be looking at a 37mm prop or possibly bigger
