Hi Guys I have been looking at this thread and I wanted to make some comments, it seems your looking for a cheap reliable rigger set up and I think I found it. The boat in the video Chuck E Cheese posted above was built by me, Thanks for posting that Chuck, I never did shoot any video of it before I sold it to rumdog. It looks like its still running great. My intention when building that boat was to go real fast for cheap. I got plans for the jap rigger way back when they were first posted and I had to try the flat sided sponsons. They seemed weird to me, how could that work ya know, so I made that lil guy to try some. The results were good as you can see from the video. I had never built a rigger that turned so well or went so fast for so little money. Unless you or rumdog changed anything that boat is powered by a mystery brand 2830-3850kv outrunner motor and a mystery brand 30 amp spd con, Both air cooled. And very fast, Like Chuck said thats a 427 prop on it now, it will go faster with a 430 And I had good luck with a cut down and very thin 432. I did mill some small cooling fins into the motor mount but thats it for cooling. That set up can be had for under 25 shipped, motor and control. I ran 40c 3s 1050 rhino lipos that can be had for 15 bucks each or less on sale. I made very simple hardware from sheet stainless for the rudder and strut. The rudder turned out to be too weak during high speed tumbles across the water. But the motor and controller worked great, air cooled! I even ran the one in my cat on 4s with no problems and they work great with a car radio, no pistix. I wanted to make a build thread so folks could go fast cheap and I posted here or on rrr I cant remember, but no one was into minis at the time I guess, I got almost no replys? Maybe nows the time to try again. I do miss the lil guy. I wanted one with more room in the tub but I have not built it yet. Heres a pic. Please ask questions if you have any and I will help if I can. Mike M
