[Rocstar]

Just getting started - 59'' Outerlimits to be powered by twin Twin Proteus 524-3T Motors.

Twin Proteus 524-3T Motors


I drew up this simple twin mount to have made.



Top secret U.S Goverment material used to mock up the twin mount.

[Rocstar]

I put down some carbon fiber over the transom, more for looks as it very strong already. I was going to install my own carbon fiber in the bottom of the hull, but it looks good the way it came.

[Rocstar]

Installed the water pickups. They will be getting a layer of cf over them.

Really nice, one of my favorite hull

Subscribed :D

[twissted]

Nice looking hull. The motor mounts are alumnium? this looks to be a great build!

[kingwrench]

Looking good. Your top secret material looks like diabond sign material

Thanks, just a cardboard mailing box...had to see what it would look like.

[Rocstar]

Some hardware....

[Rocstar]

Holes drilled and hardware test mounted....

[PF3X]

Nice, full MTC hardware

[Remmie81]

Very nice hull and hardware! Looking good man!!

From the pictures it looks like the trimtabs are mounted level with the bottom of the hull?
If so you could better raise them 1,5-2mm otherwise they will create drag.

Keep the pictures coming!!

Thanks Remmie, nothing was tightened in the pic, just checking hole alignment. The tabs, when tightened, will set up a bit. Waiting on some misc parts right now.

[Remmie81]

I will follow this build

[Rocstar]

Completed the shelf for the servo, RX, and battery.



The hatch on this boat was pretty tough to begin with, but I added some carbon fiber and now it's bullet proof (almost).

[Heaving Earth]

This is so badass

[iridebikes247]

This boat is ridiculous. I'm really liking the look of big super powerful v hulls. I think it has to do with all of the hardware hanging off the back the back of this boat is intimidating.

[Rumdog]

Such a cool build!

[Rocstar]

Thanks guys, this one might take some time to complete. I can only move as fast as my wallet will allow.
Installed the hatch bolts. The sides were a little narrow, so I added small cf tabs to mount to.

Looking great Joel

Joel,

Are you powering this beast with the 600kv or the 910kv version?

Thx

Joel,

1050kv on 8S2P

[twissted]

I really like this build! I think that I will use this build as a blue print for my next build. I will do a few things different to make it mine but not far from this build. I love it, nice!

Oh Boy!!...I like big toys!!!,....Subscribing!!

A special thanks to Fightercat for manufacturing the motor mount.

I fitted the motors and it should work out well. I'll be taking this to work and removing some material to lighten it up a bit. It's at 6lbs with the motors as it sits.

Next I have to secure this behemoth to the hull.

[Jason4636]

Looking good Joel. I can't wait to a video of it.

[Rocstar]

ESCs came in. Because of the way the wires come out the bottom, I needed to come up with a way of mounting them and still look cool..





A little 3M Very High Bond 2 way tape...





Mounted them to a piece of CF plate.





I cut the switch out and solder the wires together. Then mounted the connectors in the grommets.





They are mounted to the hull using threaded standoffs and weld nuts epoxied in place.

[iridebikes247]

Probably the cleanest esc setup I've seen. wow to how you mounted the bullet connectors especially.
