gps at 28.2..still is doing good but could be faster

Dirty how hard was the Vegas to convert compared to the Bud?

[Diegoboy]

My bud took me weeks, but I wasn't on that project the whole time. total hours was probably 8. I'm going to guess that his vegas took about 4 hours. It was running nitro one afternoon, by the next day, it was Brushless. He can tell you the details...

[Raydee]

I was told there is more room in the Vegas. I just wonder if it was easier to convert?

[Jeepers]

PLENTY of room in this hull! here is 42 cells stuffed in to give you an idea and still has room for the electronics.

[Raydee]

Nice Jeepers, keep me posted on how it runs. Myself and a few friends are thinking about converting these hulls and having a race class with them. I know they are on the heavy side but with the power of Lipo I could use some weight.

Well better luck next weekend. I know the feeling. Story of my life.

still have not received my strut, oh well i will be out of town the next 2 days, racin my boats on a nice cool mountain lake. :D

[Jeepers]

well I made some changes to this boat, and I just recieved my strut yesterday (2 weeks) I changed the motor mount out to a OSE unit (nice!) and modified the original strut bracket to hold the thinner unit. Steve V had an idea on cutting the front of the hatch and gluing it into place to make it easier to tape, I am still deceiding if I want to do this mod, what do you guys think?

all that is left now is to install the electronics and throw it in the water!

[Raydee]

Def cut the hatch and glue the front on. It will making taping the hatch 10 times easier.
