Not sure either but, AQ winds the 2030 differently now than they first did. I can get better pics but, it's dead obvious they have a LOT less copper in the stator.

Both AQ and Proboat have evolved some since they first came out. Not saying better or worse. Might be just different production runs.
I know the first batch of 2030's I had I was throwing magnets like crazy. Not so much now. Lately it's the lead right at the winding that gives out. I blame the shellac being too low temp but what do I know really. Wild speculation on my part. I used to think it was that extra piece of shrink but it's further inside the motor lately.
I must have bought a few 2030's at the right time as none of mine have had problems....in fact the 2030 I used on my ps295 tunnel used to spend a lot of time underwater and it still performed great

A sweet boat to say the least Doby, Monica, TFL. I'm just not into OPC... or wasn't until this hit the pages. It's nice scale looks are very welcome.

Everyone should have and OPC...totally different boat to drive...you have to think a bit about what you are doing

It's really not ready for prime time consumption. It may well be that the bottom doesn't work and has to be redesigned. Be patient guys. I have a hull I've never even posted pictures of for the same reason.
Got some vid of the prototype...

Hi Ron,
You are right! On the video, it is a gasoline boat! The engine is offered by our Japanese Distributor, the driver on the video is the Hobby Company's owner. He is very interested in this boat, plans to be the sole distributor of the Caudwell boat in Japan!

Monica, is that an OS outboard? Can you get a video of it going full speed in the corners?

We ran this Wednesday with the TFL leg and a 2030 AQ motor. For an initial voyage I was pretty impressed. I thought it ran pretty well. The transom doesn't allow the leg to adjust up high enough......we think. Gonna throw a jack plate on there.
First race.........daa a a a Nats.

they ever going to get a fe version ready?

Not sure how you mean.
This was a bare hull they sent that we assembled for FE as we saw fit. Servo mounting plates had to be figured out. Then routing of wires from motor to speedo. Sealing it all up. Same kind of thing guys were doing with the VS1. The VS1 was never specifically intended for FE. It just worked once setup.
The leg that TFL sells is very very similar to the OS unit by the way. Accept there is no adapter required. Motor mounting holes are part of the cast and machining. There was some trickery required to get the coupler to work though. We'll have to address that.

What Ron meant is when is the FE version going to be released for sale to the public. I just looked at a boat list that Monica just sent me a couple days ago and the Caudwell is on it as available now, ya might want to send her a note..

This a hard concept for me to grasp. All my boats are parts and assembly required. My Outrage is a 45" gas cat so......."FE version" doesn't compute.

Terry, I believe TFL is going to release a rtr FE version.,
