Great job shawn.. the ride pads look sweet should work great..

Thanks buddy,I'm just charging along with this one.And enjoying it!! Got the ESC mount made and the hull bottom painted yesterday.Along with visiting all the family. A very successful day. I'll post pics afterwork.


Hey Carl,,,I do have a pair of Castle 3434 outrunners and SK 80 HV's that will fit in here too.

[srislash]

Here is yesterdays work.I still need to wetsand the ride pads and coat them again.I like a heavy coat here for scuffing later.



And here is what I came up with for the ESC's,rubber foam-ESC-rubber foam-ESC-Carbon Fibre cap held down with Chicago Bolts.

Looking very nice!! I like your tapered edges................have they been tested by others...............do they work as intended?

What a cool ESC mount as well!

Thanks Carl,I'm not sure about the edges this way.But it is something I would've liked to have done to my Shocker.Should be able to let you know soon though,WE ARE GETTING CLOSE!!

[HYDROJERRY]

Aww,,, im lovin the esc mount very cool and good idea,, the ride pads look very clean,, cant wait to see how it handles

Just had to put this # somewhere. Bare hull with hatch weighs in at 2lbs 11oz's.

So everthing is figured out and she is now disassembled,Going to clear the inside(for conductivity reasons),put a few sponser decals on that I have and possibly clear over it? Anybody have any suggestions here.This is factory paint.Rubbing alcohol?Light sand?Using U-pol clear#1.

[HYDROJERRY]

I actaully do a light wet sand, do a light wash with dish soap blow off with my aircompressor and spray it but i use rustolium clear enamel paint not U-POL,,,

I got this one off Steve here(OSE). It is the center mount one.http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...prod=ose-80057

Nice part the more I watch your build the more I want to build one. Ha

I awoke real early this morning to the thought that I must put a CF stringer in the center of the bow to strengthen the deck.This will cut out the flexing in a blowover and remedy any more seam cracks.The deck is flimsy and if it gets forced in the sides flex and crack.Hats off to whomever brought this up on this forum.Clear today then final assembly

I've seen several of these twin Geico's on Youtube, they look great at high speed and sound wicked with the twins.

[srislash]

No flotation yet? Your killing me Shawn...

[lenny]

But does it come with wings ?
What was that 1/4 throttle on that run ?

[srislash]

First thing this morning bud,first thing.It will be a time consuming ordeal.Then more running.

[Rocstar]

Looking good! How does she handle?

[srislash]

Looking good! How does she handle?

It handles awesome.My angled sides on the ride pads are a good thing.

[Rocstar]

Awesome! I was concerned it might be a little squirrely with the added depth of the steps.

[srislash]

Have you seen the pads of a SprintCat or Cheetah?They are fairly narrow so they sit in the water deeper in a corner.

[HYDROJERRY]

Runs great and looks good shawn,,i love how the MG handles, corners on a dime!!!

Looking good, something about twins that are sweet music to the ears! A little fine tuning and it'll be screaming and smooth.
