Boat build?

[justneedspeed]

I got a villain 7.2v a while ago, Now im addicted to this. Now i want to build a boat. But what do i need to build one? What are good parts and stuff like that? I know i need a motor, ESC, Hull, and driveline thats where my nowledge ends. I really wat performance and money isnt a factor. Thanks for any input

Thats a pretty vauge question.

Check out the boat building forum here for information on just about every type of build you could think of.

Are you going to race? oval or saw?
do you have friends to run with?
how fast do you want to go?

vee bottom? tunnel? cat? hydro? rigger?

the questions are endless, like Doby said take a look in the build forum to get an idea as to what is out there. also the ose store has anything you need browse around.

These Guys are spot on! There are a lot of questions answered here! I think you need to decide on what style hull!

Many of us prefer Catamarans(my favorite) some like Hydros,Monos .. etc....

Do a search for R/C boat hulls you could spend a couple of days looking!

Just remember speed is money!!!!

I only have one question. What are your expectations? If you want a 50mph boat that will run for 30 minutes electric is not going to do it. All really fast boats have a relatively short run time. Even 5 to 7 minutes is almost stretching it. Money is always factor. The bigger the boat the larger the investment. So I revert to line one and we can start @ the beginning :).

I have decided on building up this style hull http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...rod=df-delta25
I want to see hopefully 30mph.
My only problem is the driveline. Im just confused on that aspect. What would yall reccomend for this hull? And maybe tell me the differences and how it works.

my freind ran this setup in his 29" titan. it moved well

Max have you ever set up a 25 mono before?

a 29" mono is not the same as a 25". that 800 series motor would prolly sink the df25(when at rest, if your tape wasn't good). I went with a feigao 540 6L on a 7.4v system.
