This is my Mini Sprint with $12 Mystery 3800kv outrunner motor on 3s with 60 amp cheapo esc.

What brand was the ESC that you used?

[martin]

The esc was an RC Max 60amp watercooled which was £13 or around $20, i got it from giantcod.co.uk. I believe these esc are the same as the many cheapo different badge ones that are on Ebay under various names.

Does anyone in the uk stock the mini sprint, I want one now seeing this!!

[martin]

You have to get them from Zippkits in the US, i believe they are doing them for $89 at the moment down from $109. When i got mine shipping was around $36 to the UK + vat & import duty. In total i think it cost me around £100 for the kit by the time i paid everything.

[martin]

If your going to push the speeds on the kit your going to have to do some mods, the rudder bracket is part of the ply side & you need to alter this to a full alloy bracket otherwise you tear the rudder off in turns ( ask me how i found this out ). The design construction was not done to suit these loads & speeds. Also you need to upgrade the carbon boom tubes which are 3/16" o/d hollow to 6mm solid carbon (again ask me how i know). Another must is bolt the turn fin right through the sponson otherwise youll tear the screws out of the sponson in the G force in turns.

A moderator should take Martins notes / recommendations and make a 'sticky' for the JAE mini sprint, as a lot of people on here want to go crAzY fast. else, they will get lost.
FYI, a 3/16 of an inch = 4.7625 mm on the carbon booms.

BBY Racing designs by far the fastest, most stable and reliable mini boats in the world hands down.
Randy has all the stats, ill get him to post when he wakes.

[martin]

The original boom tubes are 3/16 o/d tubes which will break if you push speeds, in the UK imperial size tubes or solid rod are not available only metric. Thats way i went to 6mm o/d solid carbon rod which then makes repacment easy without having to order from the US. Even on the JAE 21 fe during the build i change to metric size carbon boom tubes ie i fit 8mm & not 5/16".

[martin]

BBY does make some excellent boats but you wont get a boat complete (less motor & electrics )with all hardware for around $100, yes you have to build the kit which is dead simple & great fun to build.

[martin]

The 6mm = .236" solid boom tubes were chosen for their larger diameter + solid rod for the increase in strength.

BILL OXIDEAN,
I have seen the BBY Lift-master rigger series only on this site. Awesome looking / running boat.
Randy had a pic of a small lift master in another build (the pink lift-master build)
Can you tell us more about this smaller of the lift-masters? Will it become available to the public, or at lease OSE members
