    What kind of water intakes are you using? Cant see any on the pics.
    Also replace the RX battery pack with a Castle Bec, only what will shed of around 100g.

    post #2, the last picture of the bottom of the hull. You can see the 2 pickup tubes near the transom. He has them mounted to the bottom of the boat.

    Ok forgive such a noob question. The shafts come out of a part called the strut correct? What brand of struts are on this boat? I have a bj26 I am rebuilding and have decided to go for twins....eh why not right?

    How does this type of strut work with a stuffing tube? How does it exit the hull?

    I know you guys are probably cracking up at my lack of a clue, but hey how else am I gonna learn this stuff! hahahaha

    This thing is an inspiration.

    Thanks Guys!

    I have no idea what motor to use. But I sure like those two struts. reasonable price as well.

    Do you guys have any motor and esc suggestions that are close to what he used on that twin he built?

    The more I look at it the more I WANT ONE!

    how does the stuffing tube work with this kind of strut? Does anyone have a picture of how the stuffing tube and strut come together, or does the shaft just come through where the strut bolts tot he stern?

    Guys seriously I am sorry for all the dumb questions, I am just wanting to learn all I can!

    Thanks for the help guys!

    wow, 25 dollar motors, lol...your putting fractures in a lot of preconceived theories of buying expensive equipment.

    electronics dont have to be expensive to be good, we have 50.00 esc's that perform better than the 240.00 units also.

    I just bought a bj26 and finally got it to the water and i have to say i was kinda disappointed with the performance of the thing out of the box. I havnt gotten to run it yet with the lipos but with 4500 stick packs its not too fast. This thing however is a friggen monster! It has def inspired me to keep it and see what i can do with it.

    Hello

    i think the original motors and escs works very well with 4 s lipos and Props about
    42-45 mm.I think that you need only a singel pack 4 s Lipos for both motors.(i drive in my BJ 26 also only one pack for two engines)
