Hello All
Here is my Lynx FE Tunnel Hull Build.
I wanted to try a few things out here that are a little different.
I wanted to have the Lynx Hull Cut as little as possible to keep
the integrity of the rear Fuel Tank / Transom area intact.
Also I wanted to have my battery box long enough to adjust the CG
for different running conditions.
Here are my pictures:

Lynx FE Build-02
Shows the parts installed so as to create an waterproof area that will keep
water out even if somewhere else in the rest of the hull water might get in.

Lynx FE Build-12
Installed Compartment Lid with ESC installed. Lid will be held in place with
the Frost King clear tape I found that works real well for sealing radio boxes.
Lid will not torque in place because I designed and cut mating rabbit joints in the top
& compartment lid..

Lynx FE Build-16
Battery Box. Note Carbon Fiber Stiffeners on side of the box.
I used this because the box is very light ( 9oz) but has a large opening.
Also note that there is no Battery Box lid since I found my Frost King tape in a 2"
width I can simply use tap to create the whole lid.
