My build threads have been slacking. I've been slacking. Had so unfortunate events in my life that have caused that but I'm trying to get back on track. I've been alternating builds as my new shop has much more room. I was limited to one build and maybe an inlay in another boat set up on a folding table before. Not now, much better work space and I'm thankful for that....makes me want to build even more. I've also been out fitting it with tools and things to make my life easier and boats better built and faster built. Anyways, on to the build....
This is my favorite smaller cat hull. I've done a build thread on one before or maybe two. But this one is going to be different. My last was was a huge success with it topping 91mph on just 4 cell voltage. Fweasel convinced me to regrettably let it change to his hands so I must build a replacement. I always try to outdo my last creation (whether it's mine or a customer boat) by making changes to better it in any way possible....and let me tell you it's going to be hard to top that boat. It was a masterpiece, I'll post a pic or two of it if anyone hasn't seen it....it's very meticulously built and hauls the mail. Anyways. My goals with the new one are to go at least as fast but hopefully be more stable (the previous one was very stable as it was) by concentrating the weight of the boat lower where I can all the while making it as light as possible but not too light. Also I need to make a little more room for batteries to fit in easier. So....follow along as I show you what I'm doing on this build.
I want the name either black edition or triple black. I'll cut some decals for whatever I decide. Let me know what you guys like better for the name and it might help me decide. The reason it's going to be a black edition is all the aluminum parts will be powder coated black by me.
Here's my parts list:
27" Tfl mini zonda (what they call it, I call it mini rivercat lol)
Tp power 3650 motor
Spektrum 6240 servo (one of my favorite! This is a bad azz servo)
Swordfish 220x (planned)
Billet rod ends on servo rod
1/8" heavy duty servo rod
Mbp collet
.187 custom made flex (by me)
Custom CNC cut Motor mount (mono Jeff)
Custom CNC Battery trays (mono Jeff)
Custom servo mount (me)
Custom made hardware and a Speedmaster strut and rudder
Ball bearing strut
On to the fun part. Pics and building.
Inlay. Carbon honeycomb
This is the type of motor mount I'm going to use. I have this in fiberglass but I'm gonna resize it and make some changes and make it more compact, made from carbon
