10S classic thunderboat 1/6.6 scale electric conversion

[Jesse J]

I think I have something that may work, for now.. I CA glued two 3/32? balsa together, sanded to make ?aerodynamic ? then glassed with medium lt wt, with tight cross weave. I am thinking of one vertical Dr. Jet tube at the back, some wire straps also at the back, then tape the front down... here is a mock up.

I?m waiting on drive line (tomorrow) to glue stuffing box and mount motor, 3D printed stock Allison, driver and seat+wheel, and graphics (this week, thanks to monoJeff!). Hoping to test soon.

Looking good Jesse.
She will be a sight to behold out on the water.

Innards

Got my driveline system, strut/rudder and servo linkage Installed.
Just need to do my battery trays and then I can test.

Mmmmmmm...... Jet tubes.......

I thought the full-sizes vintage boats just had flat-sided, squared-off fins...

Almost done

Is it ever really done?
Got me a vinyl cutter to add to the great work monojeff did on the graphics.
Faux motor is foam for looks when racing.
