    Mpr-2

    hey guys, just joined the boat forum and wanted to share my latest build video :)



    the boat is only 6.25 inches from the back of the rudder to the nose. powered by an 8.4mm parkzone motor, and a 180mah 25C lipo and it has an AR-6400 for control. all hardware is made myself, with the exception of the current prop.

    what do you guys think?

        here ya go :)
        its all 1/64th and 1/32nd ply for the hull. on the next version, i need to make the motor in the front to get the drive line at a lower angle. i also want to make the sides have more of a \__/ shape near the nose.

              thanks guys :)

              this is only my 4th boat build, and the best performing so far. a few guys on RCG want to do micro boat races with gear like i have in this one.

              i am thinking of making a slightly larger boat to cram standard gear into, a brushless inrunner 2s lipo and servo.

                  I think we should develop an international one design racing class that the racing is held in an Olympic size swimming pool.

                  How much fun could be had and it comes down to driver ability not who has the fattest wallet.

                  Fantastic boat mate and cant wait to see some more.

                  Cheers

                            i know its been a while, but thought i'd post my next pool racer thats a work in progress. its an outrigger this time and running 2s brushless :D


                            i need to work on the drive line and maybe a better motor. it was fun the 2 times i got to run it though.
