    FS: one of a kind Scorpion 37" mono - set up for Q racing

    Sad to do it, but need to cover some expenses.
    Race ready except for esc and radio

    $675 ($600 w/o batteries) shipped cont us, international pays extra shipping
    $350 hull and hardware (incl servo) shipped
    $275 neu motor, cooler and JW mount for 5" rails shipped


    This is an Aeromarine Scorpion hull I got bare from Mad Mike Pags (frequents the red board). He had sent the hull to Remy to remove the strakes in attempt to decrease the lift for today's power. hull measures 37" by 10" at transom, has 4" rails, fiberglass hull with CF mat from motor to transom.

    I modified the hull further by filling in the shoebox with bondo to add some weight/strength to the sides and for looks. I also fabricated a cowl out of construction foam and covered with fiberglass and zpoxy.

    Motor: Neu 1527 1Y bought new from Skellyo this summer; JW motor mount bought new and 8mm coupler.
    Servo: Hitech MG 645 new raced one lap
    Driveline: flood chamber for stuffing tube made by me and allows about 1/2" strut adjustment. 3/16" flex line spins in multiple bushings at the strut.
    Prop: Octura x455 detounged and S/B by me. -- this is the prop for this set up!! -- only included in package deal
    Batteries: 2 x 6S Polyquest PQ 5050XQ 35C 70C burst and 5C charge rate. These were removed from their 6S wrapper to fit perfectly into the hull.

    This boat really moves. I have not GPS'd it but in the T offshore race, she was keeping up with the 60mph T monos. See vid here.

    Requires: 150-180 amp ESC, and radio.

    plexiglass subhatch permits clean tape down and clean outer hull looks.

      oh yeah, the de straked hull!

      Hull ended up quite true and did not need blueprinting.

              I am not too psyched to sell, and will take it off the market as soon as my 240 LV gets back from warranty.
              I cringe to think how much effort has gone into this project and how well it came out...
