DIY twin motor mono build 'G-Force'

[Dirk Jan]

Hi fellow boaters,

Last year I built a 32" Wildthing that I slightly modified. It started as a 60+ mph boat build, but it proved to be quite a bit faster with 75mph top speed.



I enjoyed the build and performance so much, that I decided to build a twin mono. It is again based on the Wildthing, but I modified the design a lot. This boat is 33.5" and will get dual stinger drives and a 6S setup. Most likely 2x 3674 2000kV motors and 150A Flycolor esc's.

Here's the design, although it still had a single motor setup here:



I cut the frames and set them up at the building board.







I also upload the build on YouTube, if you are interested:

Next step is apply the bottom and side sheeting and release the hull from the build board.

Yep, I'm subbed. Nice builds!

Thanks guys!

Here's part 2 of the build:

I progressed a bit more after that. Here are some photos of the 200gr/m2 carbon weave I laminated into the hull.

I put fillets of thickened epoxy (with micro balloons) in every corner.

By using paper templates, I cut the patterns of each weave to size.

All together quite a fiddly process. The hull feels very strong already.

I will also laminate the longitudinal bulkheads with carbon fiber.

Very nice

Clean work, looks great

[Dirk Jan]

Thanks guys. I continued the carbon laminate on the longitudinal bulkheads and the deck plates.
The deck is just attached by tape for now.

I got 2 Rocket 3670 1850kV motors and 2 Flycolor 150A esc's.





I'm also working on DIY stinger drives. The stinger tube will finally be made from carbon tube.

Besides the boat itself, I like your build videos, they’re fun to watch because of the fast pacing and good editing.. I like seeing precision work being done, I’m subscribed

[Dirk Jan]

Thank you Notorious, I appreciate that!

I filled the bow with pool noodle and I cut the deck opening. The deck is not attached yet.



I'm now working on the twin motor mount:






I modified the Flycolor 150A/ OSE 150A esc For a more efficient cooling and smaller dimensions, to fit this hull.

I put some effort in making my own stinger drive from scratch. Why? Because I love DIY building [emoji41]



Here's the video of how I made it:

The sides are glued and laminated to the hull, flotation is added, the motor bracket is made and the deck is fitted with the hatch support.

Respect to this guy. Love his DIY skills
