    Aeromarine XXX 45" T-mono ARTR blueprinted and B-E-A-utiful ---- race ready!!!

    Due to financial constraints, my dream boat has to go.

    SSSOOLLLLDDD $950 shipped cont US. requires rx and batteries. All offers posted in this thread (please no low balling)

    - Aeromarine xXx (all red) hull bought new from Remy, blueprinted with lots of sanding and bondo; painted in primer and sealed with clear overcoat = very true!
    - Fiberglass reinforced seam (inside) from bow to stern (it busted open and was repaired even stronger!),
    US Composites 2lb foam in bow = very strong
    - Shoebox filled in with bondo (outside) in the areas painted white = very cool (one of a kind)
    - Krylon paints (all except red - that's the fiberglass and it looks real nice in the sun; and orange - rustoleum with metalflake topcoat)
    and reflective orange trim tape on bow.
    - Main graphics were custom designed (by me) from doityourselflettering.com in Premium 3M™ Cast Vinyl,
    rest of graphics printed on clear adhesive vinyl ($60 worth!). no clearcoat was applied on top of the graphics
    (i.e., they can be removed without any damage to the finish.
    - Castle 2032 motor bought new from OSE July 2011, well maintained, routinely oiled bearings with nano-oil
    - Castle HV 200 bought new from Tower hobbies with 50V caps added, 8mm bullets with splitters to take 10S2P with 5.5mm bullets
    - New HiTech 1/4 scale servo with carbon reinforced push rod
    - Speedmaster hardware with flooded stuffing tube to allow for up to 1/2" adjustment, .25" flex with drive dog attached to the 1/4" stub
    for added strength (I learned the hard way)
    - Octura 462 detounged and balanced by me.

    Here's a vid before graphics. this clip was right about 60 mph.

      bottom and the business end

      here's the hardware and bottom. I angled it so you can see the reflection is FLAT! that took me 6 hours of sanding-bondo-sanding and repeat!
      She hooked pretty strongly prior, but once I did this, she came alive!! very nimble and responsive.

      Just ask Jay Turner (Fluid), he was driving in the videos...

        Yes I was driving for the video. This is a great 10S racer, it handles very well and is quite fast. I don't think Jesse ever got around to really propping it up to see what it would do, but 60 mph is about as fast as we want to run in the nasty race water we run in. I hate to see this hull leave the club, but it's a deal for whoever buys it.
