To buy a "water damaged" M-Machine with or without hardware?

[Karfrik]

Is it worth paying the xtra $30 for the MM with hardware or not? aeromarine is still selling them at $60 w/out and $90 with hardware.
Whats your experience? recommendations?,...Thanks,....Albert

30 seems cheap for hardware, wonder what it looks like.

[ozzie-crawl]

thats cheap for hardware, from what i understand there a different hull to the one steve sell
still a good hull lots of conversions to FE

[Karfrik]

anyone have an actual MM stock hardware picture?,......Al

[ozzie-crawl]

fairly sure this is there rudder/strut of the hull
and the yellow hull shows them on

[Karfrik]

ozzie,so is it worth the xtra $30? are this your personal boats?.....just want to know if to go with the stock hardware or just spend a little bit more and get me something better for the MM hull.................thanks for the pics!!,....Al

I have a rudder from one. Nice piece. Order one with and if you decided not to use it I'll give the 30 bucks if you wanted to sell them.

[Karfrik]

Teach,that sounds like a deal!!!...i`ll let you know if i decide to.Stay tuned,....thanks,Albert

To be honest I won't hold my breath on getting them. When you see the quality stuff they put on the boat I doubt I could pry it off you

probably ordering my MM next week.What setting are you running on it? and what motor mounts are you using? do they come with 4" or 5" rails on them?....Thanks,Al

I would also like to know what size motor & lipo are needed ?.

They come with no rails. If going chinese, you want an xl can. 8xl on 4s, or so on to get the rpm correct. Obviously more volts plus lower kv is more efficient. Acastle/neu or neu 1515 1y on 4s will be very fast. It all depends on what you want out of the boat, because the hull is excellent in handling and speed.

Would a ul-1 motor on 4s be okay to use ?.

No rails. Another thread with a pic of how they come inside (see post 9)

Well worth the extra 30 bucks!
