Hay everyone, this is my first post. I've been into RC boating for about a year now and have built 4 boats so far. My latest, and coolest so far is this UL-19 twin drive. It is built with almost all stock UL-19 parts. I just had to buy an additional motor, motor mount, ESC and strut kit. I made all the Carbon fiber pieces myself using 2mm carbon fiber plate stock that I bought off of Ebay. The only real non-Proboat parts are the carbon fiber pieces and the reverse rotation flex shaft that I got from OSE. It was actually a pretty simple build. I took it out yesterday for a test run in an unfortunately too small river. It is really quite fast. It pulls major wheelies on the start and goes straight as an arrow. It's nice to have this much power and not worry about torque steer/roll. I don't know what the top speed will be, but it should certainly be quite a bit faster than a stock one and should be even faster than a Zelos twin. What struck me is the acceleration! From zero to too fast is nearly instant. I can't wait to get this thing out on some open water! Now I want to build more twin drives!
