abs repair/ receiver pack

[Jeepers]

I have a cambell shovel nose that just hit the shore (rock) and it has a huge hole
(3"x .5") any ideas on how to repair this? I am good at repairing glass hulls but never repaired abs before. I could just buy a new hull but am low on cash and next race is 3 weeks away. any help appreciated thanks.

has anybody have a receiver pack just fail, like the cell end coming off? this is an hpi 1200mah pack, the cause of the above crash

Doug would your avatar be an indication of how you know what Jeepers is going through?:D

[Doug Smock]

LOL,Yeah, that happened when I was tuning my Titan 29 for the 1/6th mile oval we are running on now. I think that pic is on the second bounce. :rolleyes:
I've got her dialed in for those long straights now.

think I would go down to the local hardware store and; buy a cheap yard sign(for sale), and a can of 'abs pipe cement'. cut and glue a piece of sign over the hole(preferably from the inside) then use the pipe cement like 'bondo' (use thin coats)till I got a nice smooth patch. paint as needed. hth

That is pretty ugly Jeepers. I've never had to repair one in that bad of shape. You may be able to shape a piece of foam to glue in the hole and then glass over the top.

Doug, this boat hit an erosion wall the impact was so hard that it ripped the motor screws through the wood, washers and all, it also pulled on the wire drive so hard that it pulled the octura pointed brass prop nut off the shaft!

i will give your suggestion a try. I will post pics of the repair if it comes out good.

Give it a shot. You got nothing to loose but a little time and material.

Good luck!!
