New RTR

[Eyekandyboats]

Hey guys.
I'm pretty sure that everyone here is beyond the rtr stage for sure ( other then the sv27's lol)
I just thought i'd do a little show on what Osborn model kits has in store for the new year.
We have a couple FE boats out and now we are going to hit the market with a RTR ABS boat.
Like most it has a stock motor, Being a smaller hull , it goes faster then most others and stays cool with out w/c.
It will come with a higher amp esc ( at least thats the plan) so that later upgrades ( such as motor) , you will not need to purchase a new esc.
and it will have a AM radio. I am testing the boat with rudder placement. So far where it is now, it lets me turn both ways fairly good .

( my caddy graphics are not included, But there will be graphics in the box with the boat.)

Add you 6 cell and go!

HOPEFULLY if it works out it will be a OMK boat, If not then just another boat in the"doom'd pile"

[crazzy maxx]

have you tested it yet??

[Eyekandyboats]

yes .

[crazzy maxx]

im thinking of buying it.
i like the hull design alot.
u said u have a higher amp esc. whats the max amps????

[Eyekandyboats]

I believe if i'm not mistaken it will be some where to 50/70 amp esc. 5-10 cells

[crazzy maxx]

what is estimated speed stock?
how much money?

[Eyekandyboats]

estimated will be the same as pretty much every other stock RTR.
I am guessing 13-19 mph out of the box
cost. . it will be competitive with all the other RTR's

[SJFE]

I like the direction you went with the hull. The vee is quite deep, mcu more than the other rtr's in the same price range. IMO it's a smart move. This hull will behave much better after motor upgrades. Nice work man.

[Eyekandyboats]

thanks!.
just have to pick up the new canopy's.

[FRED]

What hop-ups for the Johnson motor, turn fin and trim tabs which weren't mentioned, thanks! It is a nice build and clean and neat inside. Nice job!

[sjslhill]

With LiPoly and Li-Ion choices that are out now, these smaller boats are really going to do well with the lighter batteries. 05 Car motors on direct drive and gear drives will have a new life as well. This is a very nice looking hull, nice job!

[Steven Vaccaro]

What will the canopy look like?

[Eyekandyboats]

the canopy will be a low style off shore closed canopy.
it will looks something like this.

[Ctonez]

Looks pretty good Taylor. Get the right pricepoint, and no other RTR will be able to compete. I think this model will do well.
If it were available when I was buying Radio Shack crappy boats, I would've snatched one up in a second instead of settling for something as useless as the Caliente 2.
Hull design/layout already looks to be better than The Villain, The Carrib. Cruiser, and the Hotz...let alone 70% of the "Fast" electric crap boats on eBay...
Good luck Taylor/Osborn!

[Eyekandyboats]

Thank you ! that means a lot to us. I will pass on the news to Derek.

[SJFE]

Taylor a kit version would be goodfor us advanced guys also. Have you thought about a dual canopy hatch? It would be nice to have some choices:).

[Eyekandyboats]

Lol advance. . . this isn't the boat for you then. what you need is the Fever by OMK 26 inch mono 9 inch beam. . well thats the plan any way. ( i'll post come the time way to much on my plate now )

dual canopy's would not work It is just to small and would looks horribly off scale. ( i have thought about that )

[FE_Chris]

Looks good taylor! Did'nt know you had a boat business going on. Thats cool!

[Eyekandyboats]

it's Not mine. I just work and help out a company called www.osbornmodelkits.com

Its a family company the owner Derek Osborn is a member of one of our boat clubs.
we first met there a while ago, He had his miss Canada there running fast and i was interested.
So after a couple years we come to where we are now.

[SJFE]

The Fever you say hu. 26x9....hmmmm. lets keep those nice high sides and deep vee .

[FRED]

Now it wouldn't much modifing, just replace straight shaft with new stuffing tube and put in .130 flex and teflon and the Maxx wild motor at 14.4 and a lipo rate at 11.1 lipo. I was going to recommend the new 12t of Traxxas but rpm won't be given out by Traxxas and a S33 ( 633 CF ) small thrust cone. Now i tried a maxx wild on 8 cells and it really moved in a No Step 1 with timing set at 8 degrees for more power and a rc-hydros 60 amp esc. ok, from i've read here so far, boat is 26/6 in size. Now a 05-540 won't be big enough with more heat due to boat size but this boat looks well built and well laid out and a good fast sport boat and best bang for your buck! I'll probably catch heat but this is how i read this boat.

[Ctonez]

Now I hope you're wearing a flamesuit!:D

[Darin Jordan]

it will looks something like this.

Hmmmm... the hull from that profile looks similiar to a Force 22 hull... A little less V perhaps... Looks really sharp with that canopy...

Fun stuff!
