Jepers could you please post up a complete parts list and vendors please? Im looking into doing the same build....

Thanks,
Fred

Here is what i used you can get most of this stuff on this site, My local hobby shop carries FE stuff since the owner also races with us so he carries stuff in stock in case we need a quick replacement part, so I got alot of this stuff from him but the rest was from here.

speed master mini rudder 4" x 3/4, at offshore electrics

OSE dr motor mount (low version) at offshore electrics

Octura 5mm to .062 motor coupler at offshore electrics

.062 K&S music wire local hobby shop

Octura .062 to 3/16 propeller shaft offshore electrics

3/16 drive dog offshore electrics

Grim Racer turn fin, Tower Hobbies

3/16 strut, octura offshore electrics

hydra 120 speed control

NEU 1521 1.5d Fullers Fast Electrics also try Diversity model aircraft (I think this is were I got mine).

Okay I cut the hatch and glued the front of the nose in place then I took a piece of 1/64 light ply and cut reliefs so that it would bend, and made a ledge for the hatch to rest on.:D

[Diegoboy]

I don't think I would have done that. (cut the nose off the hatch). So the hatch is now easier to tape, & easier to come off if it ever flips.
Nice cutting job though!!

ever since i have been using good hatch tape my hatches have not come off even through some good flips ( see my mono vid under "I hope this works") so i am not to worried to much, but its gonna take some speed to to flip it :D as its almost 4.5lbs and all it has in it is motor, steering servo. The cut made me nervous but thanks for the complement, Deigo!

Nice job, thats what I would have done. That is the way they do it on the Sport 21 Whiplash hulls.

So when is the vegas going to get wet??

Great idea. i was also going to cut the nose off. I like the wood idea!

True. But that mono hatch doesn't have that Ginormous scoop on the top. When that hits the water, it'll create a drag, ripping that hatch right off the tape that holds it down.
Just my thoughts.

Still, It's an excellent boat. Converted very well!
