1/6 Scale Drag Boats

[larryrose11]

A new process I have been thinking about. Is to take the wet cloth and squeegee a thin film of slurry on to the cloth to make a clean CF finish. Light and strong. No need to paint good looks and no water leakage with CF. Also close to look of infusion but much stronger. This is the result.

Randy, Have you tried resin infusion using MTI Hoze?
No catch pot, no dry spots, no bubbles. it takes the place of the spiral hoze in a RTM, but the hoze has a microporous membrane that is permeable to gas but impermeable to resin. It works.

Is there a video of the process? It looks interesting I get bags from APC the owner is a friend.

I found this guy on facebook "Scale Design by MrcommaD". Any body know the manufacture of the scoop so we can get more scale detail?
Yes the scoop will be the three butterfly type that sticks up in the air a long way!

Well they are called ‘hats’ Randy and Enderle makes a CF one. BDS would likely as well(Blower Drive Service).

Actually, the tall induction system is called a “Bird Catcher” and the shorter one is called a “Bug Catcher”. Here’s a pic of a BBC, 500ci, blown on alcohol motor I put together at my brother’s boat shop in Woodinville, Wa last week. It’s a BDS 6-71 blower on BDS manifold with an Enderle Bug Catcher... It was a fun build, all new Dart Block, Ross pistons and Eagle rods. I B a happy guy!

Yes Randy I saw it, it looks incredible. Hats off to you, your amazing work, makes the long wait, well worth while. With two props hanging out the back, its going to be so cool.

The "Light Bulb" came on today. It is so simple how to mount the sponsons. I got it.

Thanks F1Rogers

[RandyatBBY]

sponsons done

[srislash]

Oh that is just excellent Randy!! And so is that TF hat in the pic. Way cool. Good things come to those that wait.

This should be a new class! I love the look of that boat.. Are you putting dual motors in it? Looks like a great SAW boat!

My thought is twins. The esc may be cheaper if we do 8S 2P possably the Hobbywing hv120. One of my customers has a Filer twin esc says it works great. 28641262_1450759351713654_855482656_o.jpg

Randy, its been since December 2016 that deposits were made for this hull, any idea when you might be shipping? Not trying to rush you, but it has been a year and a half now.

That was your CF boat that is twisted and I had to build a new one. If all goes well it will be ready next week.

[RandyatBBY]

Little progress with the hat.

That is just magic..........

Lookin good

Last week got ate by the biggest District race 54 drivers and 137 boats. I think it is the last one I am going to do, I hope. I was un loading monday and resting yesterday. Today I got the head space to join the hull. Tomorrow I will look for pits and see if it is as straight as I want it.
Progress is happening. I should be able to ship on Tuesday or Wednesday to F1rogers.
