Nice,
How big is it ?
And how fast was that on 2s ?

@Lenny,

On the 2s Zippy 5,8Ah (which is not the best LiPo I have) it tops at 87kmh. But... oval-heatracing with NAVIGA-rules is not about topspeed, it is about the distance it can achieve in 5 minutes (which can be quite long ). The hull (midpiece) is about 65cm, so overall about 70cm.

sorry just had to say it, I didn't think anyone used two stick radios anymore great looking rigger congrates

[eric_laermans]

The rigger is called Rigger Classic so I assume not only the rigger is classic, the radio is too (available for 12,50€ on e-bay a decade ago).

Sorry Eric didn't mean anything by that

In Europe the two-stick is very much the way to go, although the steering-wheel is gaining popularity. I started a couple of decades ago (80's) with some modelboat I borrowed from my uncle. It 's probably out of habit.

I know in europe 2 stick is very popular, here in the UK apart from beginers people that buy a rtr boat that comes wheel radios will use them most others will change the radio for stick tx even in a rtr that comes with wheel tx. Most other more serious boats use stick tx, everyone i know that use stick hates wheel tx. They have tried them & didnt like them & went back to their stick tx.

Looks very good - better than a lot of 4S riggers.
