1/6 scale Jetsprint boats and 30mm Jet drives

[mickieb49]

Here is the first small hull out of the mold, still have to retweek the cowl mold, but have started to put the jet unit into the hull, I am aiming to get most of it done so when I get the impellers, I can put one straight in and give it a run.

Hello all,
Well the router bit turned up, just had a go at machining out the lower half, apart from the fact that the spindle collided in the back and pushed the blank forward, I had to realign the blank , obviously it was not exact as there is a few places where it machined too much out. No big problem, I have filled these parts in and a quick sand , she will be ready to mold.
Take care hull front.jpghull lower fini.jpghull lowerrough.jpghull.jpg

Looks like your living the dream Mickie, everything looks under control.

I would happily sit and assemble those pumps, recon I could do it in my asleep after a week or two....

Are you going to package a complete RTR boat in a retail box? What's the total length including the pump?

Hi mate, I will be selling either the jet units desperately or a hull/jet unit kit ( complete with alloy roll cage, dummy drivers, SS pump guard). Both ways will be in a retail box complete with instructions.
The hull you see at the moment is only available until I get the new 610mm jet sprint up and going, this hull will be Vacuum for men ABS , I will eventually do a fiberglass version but like the NQD boat, I am expecting that this boat will mostly be used in rivers and creeks, generally where there is rocks.... I have been working on sticker kits too, but I need a few more funds before I can make hose available.
Thanks for your interest.
Regards mick

Hi Mick,how is the progress on the units?
Over here in Europe there is also Interest!
My Hull is waiting for a unit :-) and the electronics are ready - it will be a Outrunner 1600kv and 1800watts output - so i can try 4S and 5S
I am very keen to see the difference to a Kehrer!
Please send me by pm pricing + p&p - I am in Germany
Regards
Axel

Do your jet pumps have a reverse cup
