[CHUD]

Hay bud's got my new df 33 and I'm so happy fast shipping thank's to steven at ose,But I didn't get the rail's . I was going to cut some basa myself,But then came up with something new at least I haven't seen it yet,Can anyone tell me who can cut me some alluminum rail's,for my motor to mount to about 1''1/4 high and 15'' long with the bottum of each on a 60 degree 's angle,who do I need to talk to.

Aluminum rails are gonna be really heavy! What is your setup going to be?

[CHUD]

rumdog ,I'm puttin my ul1 and aT120 and38mm 40mm45mm 47mm 2 blad prop's to test with 1.50/316 AND2 /2s 40or30/5000ma ,My brother hj thinks it might be to heavy two,

Whatever you do don't use balsa for motor rails, that will be way too weak and will fail in a hard crash. As far as aluminum rails, a few extra ounces of weight will do nothing to the performance of the boat, while it will give higher reliability in the event of a crash. If you're scared of aluminum, then use 3/16" plywood from the LHS.

aluminum that size weighs almost nothing in your hand would it be that big of a difference,,

hi there

weight will depend on thickness and all cut that can be done
but using a 0,078 sheet ....weight will be almost nothing.

my main problem is that my CNC can not go over 8 / 9" length

I try to keep conductive materials to a minimum in my electric boats.

WOOD is GOOD. Do what Fluid says.

hay bud can it be 1/4 of a inch thick ,take a look at this pic

Thanks for the info ,But what if I coat them with a a thin coat of apoxy to be safe,

please listen to Nautiboyz.
Keep conductive material to a MINMUM inside the hull.

and 3/16" ply is fine for the stringers.
1/4 and up adds more weight.
just take you time and do a nice neat job of installing them. (don't over do it with epoxy as it only adds weight.)

I have a used 33DF that I will be installing stringers in and the thickest I will use is 3/16" ply.

And you don't have to stay at 1 1/4" tall all the way on them as well. you can start out at maybe 1/2 inch, then go to what ever heighth you need
for your mount, then decrease it back to 1/2 at the transom.

What ever material you use. After you epoxy the stringers in, get some 1" or 1 1/2" fiberglass cloth tape and glass those stringers in. They will never come off in a flip or stuff. I only glass the inboard side of the rails and then lay a bead of expoxy down the outboard sides where the rail meets the hull.
