NICE!!! Looks good man! Geesh, Im gone for 5 days and its a whole new boat!

[roadrashracing]

I am really happy with how it turned out, just wished I got the paint job better quality, lots of defects if you look close.

We call that a 20 foot finish. Looks great from 20 feet. And looks great in the pics!

nice job dood!

There is a nice pond I drove my other boat at, the only down fall is that there are rocks all the way around.

[roadrashracing]

Well I was bored so I decided to sand every smooth and give it a nice smooth finish. Also shaved off the turn fins

[roadrashracing]

Tried it with out turn fins today, runs a lot better will never go back. Hull is looking the best it will be, boat is fast, my video skill/drivng improved but my servo burned up, thought it was speed control.

Nice work, are you going to paint the scoop opening black?

I was going to mask it off, but decided not to, the black I have will eat at the paint, a little bit of the sliver got on the orange and ended up not so well. If anything I'll go to the hobby shop and get some black sticker materal and just cut one out.

[roadrashracing]

Well boats going under the knife again, a motor mount bonut stripped out so I got made and just ripped all the inside out, I am going to fix the hull and paint it right this time.

[roadrashracing]

So plans I have, comeplete body work with new paint, offset rudder?, new stuffing tube, new motor mount, and stiffen the inside of the hull.
