First, I did read the sticky at the top about new comer builds, however I do not have a thread started for my build, so I figured I would start here first.
Second, My name is Sean and I am new to boats. Been into on land RC for a few years now, from crawlers, to sportsman mudboss racing, to X-Maxx bashing, so I know the hobby a little and do a lot of my own designs in Fusion 360 and 3D print them such as stands, parts, accessories and so on. However, I am totally new to boats, so much that I have been watching videos for 3 days straight just learning the parts!
My story: I did a cooling shroud design for a guy for RC bashers and in exchange for the design, he gave me this boat kit he had laying around that was never built. Well I got it, knew nothing, so it also sat for 2 years at my house. I now want to build it and not sure where to start!
What I have:
- 26" Deep V Hull from I think LittoHot
- SeaKing 90a 3s-6s ESC
- TFL Stinger
- A single inlet rudder
- Misc. parts, pieces and hardware
I understand the basic concept of how everything goes together as far as the large picture such as esc, motor, receiver, but I dont know the detailed install of what to do, how to do it, where to do it. For example, how far off center and how far down should a rudder hang?
I know I cannot possibly learn all of this at once, but I am hoping I can document my build and get some input from you guys and girls that have built a few boats.
My first step, I think, is to drill a hole for my stuffing tube. If that is not correct, please let me know. Otherwise, do I just find the center, high enough to clear the bottom of the boat but as low as possible? What is my first step?
Thank you in advance for your expertise and assistance!IMG_6433.jpgIMG_6430.JPGIMG_5289.jpg
