Wassup fellas. Haven't been posting many builds here, doesn't mean I'm not working on things though. Sometimes I just don't have the time to take pics and post them. I do like to share some of these builds sometimes, but I've refrained from it because a lot of times it's very close to the same thing as the last one. Well this one is a tad different. Different in the fact that nothing in this boat is expensive. It's all cheap components I had laying around. And to add to it, most of the boat I didn't build but I had a hand in a good bit of it. Complacent one is who built the boat. I hand made the servo mount, battery trays and esc mount (which I removed). He did the inlay and installed the hardware and motor mount. He never ran the boat, I think he lost interest in it and then sent it to me because he knew this is my favorite hull. He started a blue theme which I kept and added to it by laying up some blue carbon/Kevlar and wrapping the motor cooler and I just so happened to have a blue servo. He used blue colored epoxy that looks pretty awesome. I think I may put a blue carbon strip on the esc like the motor has. Here's the list of parts:
Tp power 4060 1720kv motor
Ose raider 150 with cap bank added
Savox blue waterproof servo
.187 flex of course
Mbp collet
Tfl hardware
Carbon battery trays
Carbon servo mount
Honey comb carbon inlay
I ran the thing on 4s a couple weekends ago. It went 54mph without trying. Not bad for a knockaround boat. I think if I put 6s in it, it will surpass 80mph if I decided to. I was really looking for about 60mph so I may have to do some tweaking to it.
I still have to paint the hatch. I added 5 layers of fiberglass to it last night. Maybe today I can spray the base boat. I have a really sexy looking blue for it.
This is the color I'm painting it. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to extend the color onto the boat.
