    FS: minicat hydro hull+hardware

    Item has been traded - no longer for sale -- thanks

    Note edits below in black, I didn't want to remove original post, but update with what I have done to make ARTR (just add rx and batts).

    Here is my project that never took off. I got this on the forum a couple years ago and have not done much with it. I added a skid fin and reinforced its mount, but the rest is as I got it. I did create a new hatch (plexiglass and construction foam coated with West System Epoxy - to be finished by new owner) - it came with a tupperware lid as a hatch...

    Hull has no damage, no cracks and looks to be repainted by previous owner. Finish is a nice matte, no scuffing needed.

    Servo is GWS and works fine. Hardware is solid and allows for a 3/16" stub. CF motor mount is nice and angled just right.

    All you see: $125 shipped ConUS

    ADDED: note water pick up is in sponson. There is no flex shaft, coupler, prop or anything you don't see.

    EDIT: I have since installed mystery 3000KV outrunner motor and 30A ESC (which I have waterproofed and cooled), added some stuffing tube to support flex cable, fixed flex shaft (new cable refitted in original 1/8" stepdown), and test drove it. I ran it on an X427 prop on 2S and it ran pretty good, on 3S or bigger prop and it will be the missile its legend describes.

          Jesse,
          I posted in my WTB thread that I am interested, but don't really know what hardware I would need to get. Is the stock motor the 2040-3000 inrunner? What type of flex shaft and collet would I get if the motor shaft was 2.3mm?
          Thanks,
          Curtis

            I will look in the morning. I was planning on getting a Tenshock motor from Jim at Minicat... the cat's meow from what I can tell. I will see what flex I was using, and can include it - it is a little bent, but maybe you can make it work.

            More to come....

              OK, I just looked. I can include the flex shaft I was using (it is .130"), but it got bent, so might not be good idea to use it. I can throw it in with drive dog and prop nut. I have the ESC that it was set up with (not stock) but still 30 A and should work. I can add that for $20 more. I was using an X432 prop. Go to the Minicat racing site if you want to see what they are using. I don't know where else to lead you for the motor. So the coupler would be for .130 flex (I would recommend getting another from OSE with a 1/8" prop shaft. Other than that add your radio, you will be set.

                Hey Jesse,
                Thank you for your help. I think I am going to go another route. Brian (befu) has a couple that are a little more RTR that I might pick up. I really do appreciate your time, and I see on here that you come highly recommended as a great boat tuner (I might buy the hydro that I believe originally came by you).
                At this stage of my education, I just don't want to put too many pieces together from too many sources and find I screwed something up.
                Thanks,
                Curtis

                          Updated with motor/esc/and flex shaft

                          Hey, so I got inspired with this guy and got him rigged up with a mystery OR and its ESC, and redid the flex shaft with new flex AND added to the stuffing tube to support the flex. I also reinforced the motor mount and test drove.

                          Somebody needs this in their fleet!!!!!

                          New price reflecting upgrades: $150 shipped!!
