Here's a video

**'83 chevy** · 07-30-2007, 08:05 PM

I might have to get one of those, that is sick

I have a question, is it that hard to build a wooden boat?

**Diegoboy** · 07-30-2007, 08:08 PM

I have one, It's the very boat you saw running (first) in the video. I have been told that it's very easy to build by owners & the designer. It can be built in less than a day.

What hardware are you running Dboy?

**Diegoboy** · 07-30-2007, 08:11 PM

If you look at the HW kits on OSE, That's the kit and that is a pic of my boat!!! :D
This site has the kit, since Steven is out...

**SJFE** · 07-30-2007, 08:12 PM

Man thats alota freekin parts...lol. Id so mess that up..:P

**Diegoboy** · 07-30-2007, 08:15 PM

No, you wouldn't. It's depron then layered with balsa, so there's 2 of everything.

Ok cool, definitely gonna get one. thanks for the heads up. Whats the top speed on that thing?

**Diegoboy** · 07-30-2007, 08:35 PM

I can safely say that it is, by far, my fastest boat. I have never been able to GPS her because I can't find a GPS small enough.

I just ordered another one!!

ahahah any estimates?

**Diegoboy** · 07-30-2007, 08:40 PM

Dirtysouth tells me it's capable of 50+
Dirty says that mine is running in the low 40's.

**Diegoboy** · 07-30-2007, 08:53 PM

The boats designer had this to say about the prop...

I run the X430

Uhhh, can translate that to newbie?:D

what motor and esc do you run?

**Diegoboy** · 07-30-2007, 09:01 PM

This prop is best... X632 , <-- first in the list.
I use the X430 (getting the x632 for the new one)

This is the ESC I use... Phoenix 25

The Motor is the stock one that comes optional with the kit... 400DF

**'83 chevy** · 07-31-2007, 10:25 AM

Ok I'm ordering one of these in about an hour, i have dumbe question about the hull, what is on the outside? the depron or the balsa? And DiegoBoy, when i get mine up and running I'm sure I'm going to need some guidance on setting up the hardware, like settings,strut depth etc.

**Diegoboy** · 07-31-2007, 10:40 AM

No prob. The balsa is on the outside. Paint as desired, or seal the balsa for the "wood" look.
Grant Ed from RCU said that he bought two recently (but at the higher price)

**'83 chevy** · 07-31-2007, 10:41 AM

ok this will be my last question until i get it, what lipo pack do you use and how do you like it?

**Diegoboy** · 07-31-2007, 10:43 AM

I use this Lipo. It has a built in balancer, so I don't have to worry...

I was reluctant to go Lipo, but this battery, with it's simplicity, made it easy for me.

**'83 chevy** · 07-31-2007, 11:40 AM

thanks for the help, now i know you need special chargers, what would be an alright charger, nothing fancy because like you I'm still wary of Lipo's, and this is my only boat running them.

**Diegoboy** · 07-31-2007, 11:46 AM

I use this...
Vision peak ultra

**'83 chevy** · 07-31-2007, 02:24 PM

Well I just ordered it, how long does it usually take to receive it?

**dirtysouth31** · 07-31-2007, 04:24 PM

yeah out in the sun

**Diegoboy** · 07-31-2007, 06:22 PM

...always kickin' me when I'm down huh Dirty?

So I modded my charger, then blew the transformer, now I'm reduced to doing all my charging in the sun, under my car hood since I voided my warranty.

Thanks for reminding me how much it sucks to be me...

It won't be long... Steve ships quickly!

**adreher** · 07-31-2007, 07:37 PM

Might be a dumb question, does this thing have cooling?

**Diegoboy** · 07-31-2007, 08:13 PM

There was no cooling, and no real need as the motor never gets too hot. Steve has designed a cooling device that he put on the prototype boat (mine) and he will soon make the cooling available for those that want it. Remember that it's not needed.
Here are the pics of the cooling...
Keep in mind that it's an outrunner motor, therefore a water jacket cannot be used.
