Sweet work Peter. Make sure to bring someone to catch the maiden "Blast Off."

That internal hardware is off the charts! Williams motor mount? Where did you get the battery mount? Servo mount! Coupler! DAYUM! Beautiful. Did you make most of this stuff yourself?

Wish I could afford a Schulze!!

Thanks for the kudos Jim , I have a CNC mill and made all of the stuff myself including the motor mount

Here is some video of our day at the pond , don't expect to much on the Sniper for its first run , it was only running on 6 cells and a very mild prop . that is customary for me on every first run just to get a feel for the boats characteristics . please enjoy the video as it has a variety of pictures and runs

What is the fuel tank next to te receiver?

[Punisher 67]

Jim......It is a pre-oiler for the stuffing tube , the 250weight oil is slowly drawn in as the boat runs

[sailr]

Wow. too cool!

Peter, Once more you have set the bar way too high. STUNNING!!!!

I will now creep back to my cave and sing Albertan mantras.

Thank you Douggie your words are to kind

The second run of the Sniper was at the full 10C2P . the packs are just 20/30c so they took a severe beating , each bank of 10cells was spiked to over 116.5 amps or 233 amps total draw . Edmonton has the Namba 16 nitro boat club that had there seafair cup races at our pond , sorry correction there pond . These guys have never seen an electric boat do 30mph let alone 65mph+ . there was a little disbelief looking at the sniper ( Nitro Killer ) until the boat ran at the end of there contest , A few mouths dropped and a new respect for electrics developed I,m sure . Will have some video next time . Also got my scull from the movie for the front of the boat and the Eagretree hardware installed , temp probe is right on the motor windings
