What method does he use to ship?

[Diegoboy]

USPS Priority.
You should have it today or tomorrow!

['83 chevy]

Oh ok, just wondering because the mail has already came, so hopefully tomorrow.

BTW Im heading the the hobby shop today(not open tomorrow), do they specify what type of glue to use during assembly? Or should i just pick up a bottle of CA?

[Diegoboy]

Ya. It calls for a "foam compatable CA glue with kicker"
It suggests EFLA208.

[rhinopole]

What kind of paint did you use? Did you seal it first? If so, what did you seal it with?

[Diegoboy]

Didn't paint or seal it. Steve did. The renegade I have was the very boat in the videos and pictures. It was the "prototype" for the renegade rigger. I got her as an RTR.

Hey Diegoboy,

I appreciate all the advice you have been giving in this thread. I have been looking at getting one of these boats for awhile and learned alot about them from reading all this.

[Diegoboy]

You're welcome.
As soon as I get some of that glue, I'm going to start a step by step build thread with pics.

Not to mention my Hydrofoil project (Police), My Billings WSP10 project (Fire), and my "Special boat" project (Miss Bud replacement) !

[Diegoboy]

I need to order the HW for the new one

['83 chevy]

I need to order the HW for the new one

Fields just got back to me, they are waiting for a couple of parts to come in to complete the package, but they will be shipping out this week.

On another note I got my rigger today and one of the rear wood pieces for the sponson is missing. No big deal I can just make a new one

edit, Diegoboy, could you get some pics of the inside of yours, where the battery goes, I'm not sure if the reinforcement foam pieces go inside the main hull or on the sponsons.

[Diegoboy]

Contact Steve E. He'll send you one, trust me he's a good guy!

How long till we find out about the "SPECIAL BOAT"?:rolleyes:

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

Steve Elias][/b]
If you want max top speed then an octura x-632 seems to be the ticket and even better if de-tongued

I run the X430

The x632 seems to be the best choice!

OSE sells the HW, the pic posted there is of my boat.

[Diegoboy]

How long till we find out about the "SPECIAL BOAT"?:rolleyes:

Hopefully this month...

['83 chevy]

Well this sucks. One of the rear sponson skins was missing, so Steve sent me another one, but when I open the envelope this one is different(shorter and wider).

Diegoboy, which one of these resembles your sponsons?
The left one came with the kit, and the right one is the one that Steve sent me

[Diegoboy]

Both the one on my working one and the kit are the "left" one.
I'm not sure, but I think the right one is the "pre" rough water mod version. Steve will make it right. Call him via the number on his website. Just keep in mind he's in Cali.

[Diegoboy]

Do you have any pics of your progress?
:D

[Diegoboy]

...If you like, I'll send you mine, and work it out with Steve since I'm not ready to start mine yet. LMK

['83 chevy]

I'm still waiting for my stuff from tower to show up,(battery,charger,CA,esc) it will be here tomorrow,and my hardware will be here monday. Are you sure you are willing to do that? i dont see why I coudn't make 2 new ones out of some really thin balsa. I'm planning on starting building tomoorw, but if they dont come out right, I'll Pm you

[Diegoboy]

edit, Diegoboy, could you get some pics of the inside of yours, where the battery goes, I'm not sure if the reinforcement foam pieces go inside the main hull or on the sponsons.

Wow, Sorry I missed that one. battery goes in the front of the main hull "tub" The reinforcement pieces go inside the main hull too...
Pics to follow

Keep in mind, this boat was in a serious accident with a mahogany runnabout. Steve looked at the pics of the damage and told me that she looks like she'll never run again. He asked me to send her back to him. He repaired her good as new, then returned her back to me at no charge. That's what I'm talking about. He's a great guy!

[Diegoboy]

Are you sure you are willing to do that?

Absolutely! Just keep me posted.

Here is the pic. Remember she was in a severe wreck...
Those reinforcement pieces were put there by Steve to close the breach in the tub hull.



This is one of the accident pics


Notice that the rear Carbon Fiber sponson boom is snapped apart. Had to be a big hit to break CF.

[Diegoboy]

This is the boat that I collided with.
