my first boat

[missbud27]

my first boat.


and i am planing on fiberglassing the bottom to make it stonger. and put some brushless power in there and water proof esc. and the rest i need help on.i am trying to prove to my dad that i can get it to go as fast as our real 1:1 scale boat. it is petty much just a hull.........does anyone eles have the same boat.

[Jeepers]

Is that a DPI?

[SJFE]

That is an MRP. I bought one back in 92 but never got it built. They are thin hulls. I would be carfull about over powering it.

Looks like it has potential though. What are the dimentions?

[missbud27]

well i am buying is form this guy. and he said i is a 26'' 1/12 scale, and 8 inches wide maybe. and yea is is a mrp i frond that out at rcu because i could not post here but steve fixed it for me. other wise i would of ask you guy what it was. and you said you have one thet was not built yet. i would love to have a nib one. so i couls fiber glass the inside of the bottom. i am doing that anyway but i have to try to take the hull apart to get to the front.

Wow thats a nice looking boat!!

[missbud27]

not really. it is use and has some damage but i am going to get it well ahgain and better and stonger. ready for speeds up to 60mph

[SJFE]

To be honest that hull was designed to run mild brushed motors. You are going to be able to stiffen it up. I would suggest doing it from the inside. But getting back t my point, You should lower your expectations as not to be dissapointed. With some research into brushless systems, batteries and hydro setup you may get 30+. That will be flying for that hull. 30 will be alot of fun and impress most people who see it. :)

Do you plan on running Lipos or Nimh packs??

[missbud27]

well for now untill i am not a kid. i am going to run 12 cells like GP RS 3300 packs

and i am not going right to 60+ that is my goal to have that thing driving next to our real boat (v8 250hp,it gets you there fast)and prove to my dad that i can go 60+......but first i am just going to get the best brush setup. what should i use?

[SJFE]

I would say a 700sc, jeti or rchydros esc & 12 cells.

[kck741]

Well after you buy A good brushed motor and a good brushed ESC You could buy
this http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...d=dh-blcomboaq
You could run your 12 cells on this unit,I think this will be the best bang for your buck!!

[missbud27]

ok i am going to get a 700 sc motor and a jeti esc and some simple radio, and some water cooling kits and 12or14or16 cells.

and now i have no idea about drivelines and the mechanical stuff on the boat?

[missbud27]

ok this rudder http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/products.php?cat=76
and this strut http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/products.php?cat=76
