    Awesome Sir!
    I had the opportunity to check out one of these hulls recently and was very impressed with the quality and finish. If I ever get the urge to build a hydro, this would be the one.

    Thanks Joel. The FE30 derives its pedigree from the world-class line of big gas racers at Insane Boats - Jeff is a perfectionist and the lessons learned from his big boats filters down to the FE models. At the just-run FE Nationals, an FE30 took class First Places in both P-Ltd Sport Hydro AND P-Sport Hydro

    That hull looks fast and stable. I have seen a lot of very loose boats in this class. Half do not finish heat.

    It's been said that, theoretically at least, ride-pad hulls don't do well in the rough. 100_0112.jpg

    Default Dave's beautiful Blue FE30 "Convertible"

    Dave wants to race P-Ltd. with the option of changing motors to go P-Sport. Narrowed the T-180 to allow 4S2P batteries to fit beside the ESC. A .150 cable with teflon is installed with the option of pulling out the teflon and putting in a .187 cable I supplied trimmed to fit to "convert" to the P-Sport configuration with a bigger motor..

    DSC04789.JPG

    Motor mount, quickchange servo mount, solid waterline to clear servo mechanism, matching blue servo rod

    DSC04775.JPG


    ESC platform keeps ESC off bottom in case of slosh

    DSC04785.JPG

    Sharp blue hull. Dave special-ordered early-style cowl instead of later model turbine cowl.

    Default Dave's 23" DF Sniper Ballistic Missle

    DSC05042-1.JPG

    To replace his last one that "got away", Dave had me build this gorgeous ballistic missle. A TP Power motor, T-120, and Dinogy 65C/130C 2S 5000's and considerable attention to detail including carbon/kevlar inlays this should be entirely capable of low-earth orbit

    Motor : TP POWER 2935 6Y 2270KV

    It seems that the small hulls take much longer ; this one took 3 weeks (but it was worth the extra time - I'm really proud of this build)

    Thanks Mike !

    So do those scoops come with those hulls or an option? Been keeping an eye on scoops but nothing has struck my fancy yet. Those ones look great on there.

    Default Mean Machine V2 with P-Power

    Steve's crossing over to the "sparky" side. His MM V2 should be a great start.

    TP Power 4050 3Y 2220KV ; T-180 ; 4S2P ; Spd hardware. I kept the layout super sanitary
    (Steve'll add his own graphics)

    Steve's next entry into the "sparky" side : A P-Ltd Sport FE30. This green on black hull is so strikingly bright that Steve'll need sunglasses just to look at it (pictures don't do it justice) - I think there's Kryptonite in the gelcoat

    DSC05418.JPGDSC05435.JPG

    I configured the layout to allow a single 4S 5000 in front of the ESC or 2 X 2S 5000's in series

    DSC05438.JPG

    Graphics will be added soon

    I like how you put flotation in every possible spot. Must come from experience.
