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

Happy holidays!
Randy has about 6-versions of the lift master from what I understand.
One benefit to dealing with a MFGR like BBY is he will build anything you ask for.
If you saw a smaller one, he will gladly build it for you. in fact, any combination of tub and sponson in the lift master series can be mixed and matched to a customer's desire.

I hope this answers your questions.

BILL OXIDEAN,
Do you know of a website where he catalogs these various designs, or should I just contact him directly?

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

Where do you buy these again? Link?

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.

So you CAN add water cooling to a Mini Sprint? I had doubts due to lack of space etc. Rudder pick up?

By the way, what's the biggest 3S battery that will fit in a Mini Sprint?

In the UK you can get carbon rod & tube from model shops, if they dont stock it just get them to order what you want. Both Ripmax & J Perkins import the carbon, thats were model shops get theirs from but you cant buy direct from them though you have to go through model shops. Look up Ripmax & J Perkins % all the carbons on their sites around £6-7 a metre length. Martin.

The rudder with the kit has a water pick up already so you just need to add water line to tub. The largest size lipo i found you could get in was 2200mah as you are restricted on length that you can get in. When i built mine i raised the deck of the tube up arounf 6mm so as to get 3s in along with a bigger water cooled esc. Ive since moded the tub again raising up further as im going to use a Leopard 2860 motor with 120amp esc & poss 4s. I think its going to be quite quick hopefully. Martin.
