I have finaly "finished" my MC upgrades, for now. Carbon fiber inside the hull, a little on the hatch. New motor mount and wiring, Aquastar 120 amp, 5.5 bullets battery side, 6mm for motor connection. Traxxas waterproof servo (125oz). Foamed hull with two part marine foam from Kintec. Grim 42-55, Kintec flex, slightly shortened stuffing tube, oversize cooling lines. Waterproof rx box, and more! Love working on these boats, this one, and my 30 yr old Villain.

xlandguy,
that is really great, post some video if you can. I have a question: I plan to foam my hull since there is something already "loose" in the nose---can hear a rattle sound , boat is brand new. How many minutes do you have when you start mixing that stuff till it starts to expand? I am a bit slow and worry that I don't have enugh time, lol...Too many boats, not enough time...

Not "minutes" more like A minute, you mix in small (1 or 2 oz) batches. There is a piece of foam in there, I pulled that out first, take a look at my other thread to see pictures and video. The foam from Kintec has decent instructions. Not difficult, just plan, mix and pour.Comment

Thanks! So it's ONE minute, just as I was afraid of...

Ya if I recall you mix for like 20 seconds or so then pour it in. It's very thin when you pour, a minute is plenty of time, but don't e wait.. Pour it as soon as you mix it. Get the little mixing cups from Kintec and it's easy to get it right. Take a look at the other threads on this foam. Lot of guys did it to their UL-1's.Comment
