FE conversion for the Segad 58

Have you seen the hull? It really isnt worth the try. Even if you could get it in there, it would be pointless. You couldn't run a prop big enough to load the motor. It would barrel roll instantly.

hopefully I will get the parts by the end of the week... Kintec is usually pretty quick... The work thats left should take a days worth so if the weather is nice I can get her in the water for a couple test runs...

Don't listen to Ryan Rob. As a SAW boat it would be great with a 569X!!! Downside, with 10S it would probably sink But man, that would be one fast submarine JIM

PS: Rob, check out the new thread on my Aeromarine Avenger Pro catamaran. Should have it up within the hour.

Looking good Rob. You did a good job installing the offset rudder - it should run straight & true, AND corner well.

What's that big round thing on the starboard sponson?

Please add more pics, the last post attachments don't work. AND - be sure to get a good video of it in action and post it's Utube site here. JIM

lol thats the old exhaust port... I left it on and just plugged the hole... It looks better than the giant hole that was there...

That "plug" will get more questions from Lying Trailer Guy. Tell him it's G4 Nano Booster

You did the same thing I did on my Avenger Pro build with your offset rudder. It's a tad too far to the right (starboard) side. If the Segad pulls too much to the right when you run it, flip the mount over to get the rudder closer to the prop - or just re-mount it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the Avenger cuz it's mounted exactly the same as your's.

Nice pics!!! A beautiful build. Did you make that mount for the Swordie 240 ESC? The motor mount rails on my Avenger block the water inlets, so I've got to either make a raised deck of cut down the rails dowm.
