    Possible change in plans

    ive been thinking instead of doing the CC2 build as i first planned, i would buy a traxxas villain and try to mod it out like the one in the rough water vid...ive talked with the buy who built it and i know what he put in it, but i was thinking of trying a brushless setup...i change my mind on a lot of things and usually end up back to my first choice (e.i. the SW36 conversion...at first it was 14XL on 24 cells, then a 11XL on 18 cells, then lipos, etc. etc. and eventuallu it worked it way back to 14XL on 24 cells..)

    but this time im really thinking of taking a villain and modding the crap out of it till it could whop a supervee (probably not, but i could try)....

    with my ADHD, its hard to focus on one thing for so long, so i tend to change my mind alot, so im starting a poll on wether i should postone the CC2 build and mod a villain or just stick with the CC2...i havent started anything with the CC2 yet...

            The drifter would be awesome but I have a bare villian hull with no hatch, pm if you would be interested and we can work something out.

                dude, just mod the hull on a villain, you can do what I did, but just so it has a shallower vee, not flat like mine than you'd be much more stable. than you can beat a SV

                pic for those who havent seen

                do it!

                  Ive been picking on the super flip for a while now, and I apologize! If this boat wasnt in production there would probably be two less boats in mono class which would drop it to two total

                  P.S.
                  Traxxas please save us!! youve already got the hull!!!

                      finish the drifter and the SV you'll have more fun. THEN build a hydro, then finish the other boats!

                        uuhh...wow...i asked for 2 choices and i ended up with 6...ok...ummm....yeah i sort of forgot about that drifter, sitting back there collecting dust...i guess ill start on that one after the SW36 is done....my b-day is coming up in a week and ill be getting the batts and the power source for that....ill just need the radio system and a few other miscelaneous items and that will be finished...


                        well..i do want to work on the supervee as well...i guess i should finish that up before i start the drifter....the reason i want to get a couple of builds done before the drifter is because it will cost so much money to do and will take a while to complete, i would want to have a few boats to run while im building it....

                          the money spent on buying/ moding a villian could finish your SV!!!:D

                          it would be better than modifying a "CRAPPY TRAXXAS" :p LOL I had better go before Doozie reads this post:p hehehehe!

                              dont get me wrong, the supervee will be the first thing i work on after i finish the SW36, but im thinking of making one more boat before i start the drifter, that way ill have something to run while im building the drifter...i guess i could try an LSH...
