I started this on Tuesday. Kent Seal sold it to me. I didn’t see many people doing builds on it so I thought I would show case mine.

It’s almost done here.
Very nice, thank you!
I am in the process of building mine. I have sponsons framed up and sanded, one skinned except for top. I'll do the tub last.
I would have started a build thread but I can't upload pictures from this crap tablet. I've tried everything and the only way is slow and painful by posting them on another site first and then using the links.
What power are you planning on running? Did you reinforce the inside of the Sponsons boom tube holders?
I see tape only on one side of the Sponsons decks, how do you keep the inside edge fastened while gluing?
Again thanks for the pictures!

Your welcome. Thank you.
I'm going to use one of two motors 1515 2700kv or 1527 2500kv with a water cool castle xlx. I use extra ply of wood on the in side of the sponsons. I had clamps on the other side of the sponsons. There off in the photo because it looked like a porky Pine with all the clamps on it at once.
Thanks!

Your welcome. I’m going to put the hardwere on it Monday.
That's hugemongus!!! That for saw or ovals or just giggles?

Lol heck yea. It mite not work but I have a bunch of other motors to try as well. I heat race at my local club, in the p hydro class I use a 4s taipan that's hard to beat. I have a slough of other riggers so I want to try something new on this one and see what happens. I try all kinds of stuff ppl don't try or say it don't work. I like to see for my self. I Usa 2700kv on my other rig so I'm not sure why this 2500kv will not run good.

The tub is done now I have to seal the sponsons and then start on the hardwere.
See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!

Very cool. I'll have to try some new things myself. This is my first rigger since N2 and O class rigger were run at the 2005 Nats.
Sorta wish I still had that Little rigger. Ran like the dickens on Nimh.

It was an Osbourne kit. I think a Matrix Ultra or something?? It was the top end that was out there for kits in my neck of the woods. Wood over foam sponsons.
Don't think they are available anymore.
It was a Blizzard Ultra I think...
Mikes kit is way better and more room.

Moonie,
Mike is making a 24" version of the RSX310. It's pretty cute.

Really busy, I probably won't to get a good look until the weekend. It's still sealed up in the box it came in.
Even though a flat bottom strut is not required, will it adversely affect the way the boat runs?
I ask because I have one I could use instead of purchasing a new one. I could just round it off in the mini mill.

Are you going to trim your top sponson skins or leave the overhang?
Nortavlag Bulc
Yeah, if you have shoes I don't think it's needed. I can fix it up.

1655B5FA-C6BA-422A-B05E-2E3B997F3C46.jpgI did mine like this.
That's that rigger from TOBSD, I have one, collecting dust.
Thanks. I can do that easy.
