FS: AQ Mini Wildcat hull & parts

[midnightsabotage]

Aquacraft Mini Wildcat hull for sale w/parts.

Was going to convert to twin brushless, but I've since acquired a fiberglass mini hull & I'm going to put my efforts into that instead.

I cut the miniwildcat hull apart by dremeling off the protruding seam on the outside. I was planning on fiberglassing the seam from the inside once I had my new motors installed and everything. Thought I could then file and sand the outside nice and flat instead of having that ugly protruding seam around the whole hull.

Modified the top deck to allow more access to the inside of the hull when it's all put together. So the inner 2 round lids will be of no use. Some foam tape around the edges should provide a nice seal with how this hatch fits. And if you're going brushless, I'm sure you'll be taping the hatch anyway.

Well, I think that's all the details to mention as far as what's been modified. Look at the pictures or ask questions for any other info.

Hull/hardware items:
Hull top
Hull bottom
Motor mount
Servo hold-down bracket
2 flex cables with props & couplers (one strand from the cables came unraveled on each. I trimmed it off, and cables function fine on brushed power. I'd upgrade to a larger flex for brushless either way)
Rudder and bracket (with o-ring)
Water pickup
The 2 inner lids - maybe you can use them on something else.

RX/esc unit is going to be paired with the transmitter. Channel 4, I believe.
Battery is going to be paired with the charger.

hull/hardware + flexshafts/props - $15 shipped
transmitter+ rx/esc unit plus 1 working stock motor - $15 shipped
battery & charger - $15 shipped

$35 shipped for everything.

Maybe somebody wants a cheap project...

Thanks for looking,
-Jeff

I'm not sure where the transmitter is hiding, but I'll be looking for it.
Found it. Now only pairing it with the rx/esc unit.

[midnightsabotage]

Pretty sure I have the stock charger for it too.
Yep, found that too. Used just with the stock battery and only cycled it 4 times.
Pairing battery & charger together now.

I'll take it for 20 shipped, but I'm lazy so I'll PayPal ya tomorrow. It's late here lol

[dana]

Hope that's ok! -)

[midnightsabotage]

Yeah, that's great. The $20 would help with some last minute cyber monday deals, but I'll survive without some parts I probably don't need :p (note that the $20 offered was only for the hull and hardware. I've since modified items included and asking prices)

Sending PM with paypal info.

The nimh battery and stock charger are still for sale. If anyone buys and pays tonight, $15 shipped via paypal is all I need for them.
+ fees please (or gift, I suppose).
Thanks!

what parts are you looking for got a 2s outrunner not playing to well with my new mgm esc payed hansomly for the eflite 440 6 4200kv pole if you are interested lets trade something(motor) wise i need a 24XX 2 pole

[midnightsabotage]

Wasn't really looking to trade for any parts by that comment. Hobbypartz & Nitroplanes are still doing their cyber monday coupon codes for a bit longer tonight & if they post something small that I can't live without, the funds would have been nice. That's all I was saying :p

I don't comprehend what motor you're in need of when you say 24xx pole. I have a few extra outrunners, but no idea about the number of poles or anything, I have them to use for planes.
Are you saying that you have the eflite 440 6 pole to trade? I can look it up and see if it's something I'd be interested in.

So it needs motors and radio? I wouldn't be interested in battery or charger.... Lmk. Still interested

[midnightsabotage]

The first post explains everything pretty clearly.
It'll need some work to reassemble the hull. I was going to join the 2 halves together again with fiberglass mat & epoxy or some type of plastics glue.
It'll need motors (and speed controls + receiver if going brushless). If you want to run the esc/rx that it comes with, you'll need a transmitter with a crystal to match that unit, since the receiver/esc included is encased in what looks like a block of epoxy.

This isn't a "screw it back together & run it" project. I had intended to reinforce the whole hull and make new mounts for twin brushless motors and everything. Stock, it's unbearably slow.

I probably have the transmitter stashed somewhere, but didn't look around for it yet because nobody showed interest in it for $5 more.

I was letting other potential buyers know that the battery and charger were still available, that's just why I mentioned that stuff.
let me know if you have any other questions,
-Jeff

Hmm.... I'll be honest you've got me a little turned off now... Not sure I want a project like this...

[midnightsabotage]

no worries, i don't want to sell you anything you're not sure you want.

i did grab the transmitter out of my garage today & tested out the radio system. works good. so i'll be splitting up the package now:
transmitter+ rx/esc unit plus 1 working stock motor - $15 shipped
hull/hardware + flexshafts & propellers - $15 shipped
battery & charger - $15 shipped

$35 shipped for everything.

Edit* - just changed the OP to reflect this new arrangement w/prices.

[midnightsabotage]

This item is no longer for sale. It is spoken for... once I can get it all organized and packed up.
Thanks,
