Well she is back on the bench, actually as of last weekend. This is when I got my little rudder wire tube supports in as well as my water inlets and tubes

Forget the boat, great use of an inspection mirror in a picture!
Vac-U-Tug Jr (13mph)
At this point I decided to run it as this is.
I am real used to flat ride pad boats so this is a new game for me
Good to see this beast running. I've thought about nine a bit more since then. When the time ever comes around, I'll shove two 3674 2200kv motors with 120a speedies just to keep it light.
Nic. Couple things I noticed. Looks like it's pulling to the left? Could be a number of things and I'm sure you know what to check (flex dragging, throttle calibration, motor kv may be to far off). The main thing I noticed is your servo arm is waaaaaay too long. That's what will cause your erratic steering. It makes the rudder move too fast per servo input, and it kills the tq of your servo. Move the rod ends all the way inwards. I'd just get a shorter one honestly.

So I had water infiltration on the first outing, lots of it. So I got my seals on and epoxied some foam to the hatch. This will hold the batteries in place in the inevititable crashes. LOL, I also installed the third screw from the inside of the hull, oops.
Mm, no seals on those pics. But they are on. I have vid from the next outing but I have to put it together.
Do change your steering geometry tho instead of crutching it with expo. It will be strong, more precise and be much easier on your servo.

Ok well I am off to a rippin start of 2017. Took her off the shelf and tossed her in with the 447's cut to 42mm. Only change is my new Revo 4400's.
Really nice Shawn that boat looks and sounds great. Since the picture on fb of the lake thawed was wondering how long it would be till you got a boat out there lol.
Dead sexy. Even the straight on Aqua Mania livery is cool, better than my HK Genesis knockoff
