I have been building this 60 inch Apache slowly and as I am getting closer decided I wanted to share some photos of it. Power is a NEU 2230 1Y that will be on 10s 2P and the esc is a flier 400. Still a work in progress.

Got the steering setup done today. Cut a carbon plate to size, then drilled holes and mounted it to the stringers using self tapping hex head screws. I threw bolted the Servo onto the plate with lock nuts on the back, everything feels secure and I?m happy with the look of it as well.
Waterlines are just mocked up right now but will clean up later. The boat is running all speed master hardware, it currently has a tapered rudder blade but after finding out that the water pickup holes are located lower on the strait blade I ordered a new strait blade to replace the tapered.
Thats a big ass boat nice. :) Share how the flier esc works out as they seem like pretty good value for high amps. Im also interested in that motor mount setup with the oil cup. Is that from OSE?
I have several of the fliers in multiple boats and I have had very good luck with the bigger amp esc’s. I have ran the 300-400 and haven’t had any issues running big power. If you are wanting one for higher amps and high voltage go strait for the 400, not much difference in price and they have been bullet proof for me so far. Both the aluminum case such as what is in my boat as well as the soft case 400s.
Forgot to respond to the other question, the motor mount is from stump fab but the oiling system is for my flex shaft, that bar is holding the stuffing tube in place and yes I got the oiling setup from OSE.
I have had good luck with the flier escs too; I have used the 320amp and still going strong!

See the fleet
What size is the rudder and trim tabs? I'm building a 72inch mono. I'm gathering parts .
The rudder is the 6 inch stand off bracket and I put the strait blade dual water pickup on it. The trim tabs are also speed master and they are the 4 inch long tabs.
Ok. Thanks. Nice build
Got the boat out on the water and it ran great!
Nice

It’s actually a standard size servo it’s the waterproof 25oz I got it before they made the 40 but it has no problems handling this boat. I will probably upgrade to the 40 just because if there was ever a boat that needed it it’s probably this one lol
Power Hd the blue ones that ose sells
Yes that is what I have currently with zero issues, it can throw that boat around no problem.
Nice build. What size props have you been running?
I have a 48" ML Boatworks mono that I am thinking of converting to FE. I'm thinking of going with a 56 size motor in the 110 to 123mm length range on 12s just to be able to use my existing 6s packs.
I ran an octura 465 for the first run but I have now switched to a modded 2514/3 abc prop. I haven’t tried it out yet
Here?s the epic sitting on it?s much bigger brother lol
I would say more like an older cousin. Looks good.

It’s funny the cover is dang near the same color as the epic
I have an electric epic 60 built by bonzi .
I am having issues getting good water flow . I have dual pickup on the rudder .
Are you getting good water flow at slower speeds i have none . And am thinking about adding electric water pumps . Any thoughts ?
My water flow is good at low speeds. I have a speedmaster strait blade rudder on mine
Thanks
