Time for me to build my first saw boat
After building my cheetah, a GEICO and a Daytona I figured I'd try to build something fast. I chose a carbon fiber rivercat. I've been wanting one of these neat little hulls and on an impulse buy I bought one the other day. I'll be getting started on it in the best few days when I get my hardware in. Its going to be heavily reinforced from the inside. I'll do a carbon inlay along with running carbon fiber down the seams as far as I can reach. I'm going to reinforce the transom heavily with carbon and flooding with high quality epoxy. My motor is a castle 2200kv 1515 with a fighter cat 240amp ESC running on 6s for speed passes and 4s for cruising the lake. I haven't decided the servo yet. I'm open to any help, opinions or parts you guys may have I might need. Right now I need a servo and a mr200 receiver.
