Build a JAE/Keps/MLB. The end product will be a much better boat.

Those color choices get expensive!
It actually looks like a copy of the old Climate riggers.

Hobby King used to sell a small rigger like that one. hollow sponsons too.
Never had a rigger before unless you want to call my vintage Graupner Tornado one? It looks close to the idea. I was originally thinking a JAE33 or ML380 but was thinking maybe I should start smaller? Or should I just pull the trigger on a big rigger? I just run for fun but have a need for speed.
You'll find the larger boats run better and not much more to rig.

If you want a smaller rigger to start with look @ the Zippkits Mini sprint, they are very cheap to kit out & they run superbly well indeed.
Or the 17" RBC Fast4ward which is a bit lighter on its feet and less thirsty than the 18" JAE Mini Sprint if you favour runtime over speed. Both are good and quick boats.

Joe at Zippkits is very close to releasing a new 26FE rigger. We have been testing it for the past few weeks. It is a fit between the Mini Sprint and the 33FE. On 3s power with a 28mm or 29mm motor we are getting 50 to 55 mph in heat racing trim. It is virtually the same size as the .12 Nitro rigger.There is ample room for any battery combination you might want to use. It is like all other JAE (Zippkits) boats. It is a quality boat with outstanding building instructions. Plus, it doesn't break the bank to build! You will be very happy with this kit.
I have a Jae12 now I built for Fe very fun a and fast with a Tp 2940. 67mph and has more in it once I get a chance to go back to the pond.
Sounds outstanding.
Jim, what KV are you running? And, is that on 3s power? Prop? Thanks

I would agree with the others here. A larger rigger would probably be better.
But in answer to your original question. Yes I've built one.
I built it to mount a ducted fan on top of it. But as with a lot of my projects, it was shelved & not finished. I'll get to it one day.
But here is the basic structure if it is any help.

Castle ice 100 esc converted to water cooling
jim, thats some kv,s running 4s. is this set up mainly for abit of straight line stuff or does it work ok for oval ?
Thanks for all the input guys! I think I will hold out for a zip kits or ML.
It?s been a while looking at the date so I hope your still a boater. What was the all up weight on this Jae ? RTR
I think my JAE.12 was about 1300g with a 2860 motor and 3s 4500mAh.

It is 1340g rtr with a Turnigy heavy duty 4s 2200mah. I just started back running my boats again took a break and was flying heli's. I'm still running a Tp 2940 2800kv, Castle Ice 100 but lately been using a 1614-17-45 prop at 71 mph.20200617_093224.jpg
