Great looking boat phil
I am building an orange and white 45 assault can u tell me if yours has drop mounts and how much clearance u have between the plug and the cowl

Good question. I usually set the engine on a piece of corrugated cardboard to get my bottom clearance but got stupid and used triple-wall. I found out that there isn't much room at all between the plug and the hatch. After its first run I brought it home, lowered it and move it forward about 1/2". Unfortunately that run was just as the season was ending here. My go-to prop from my Rampage wasn't doing the job so there's a new one hanging on it now.

I built this one for a guy in Toledo before I got mine, all orange. I almost went with orange ans white myself.

Nice build,
I have a question, I see you put the tuned pipe in the flotation foam. Will the foam be able to stand the Heat of the tuned pipe?

It may melt some but nothing to worry about. there's more clearance than it appears to have.

I see u still had clearence using standard mounts instead of drop mounts

gary zalger · Apr 14, 2019

I so you still had clearence for the plug using standard mounts ?

Daniel's Racing · Apr 25, 2019

Those aren't standard mounts. They are Zip Kits and they have drop. Look at the ears. They come off the top of the mount not centered.

The Assault doesn't need drop mounts though.

It isn't a sail boat. You aren't trying to slam every ounce of weight as low as you can get it. You don't need it self righting. You want it to be comfortable laid over or upright.

The boat only barely even needs tabs. One small set of inners is all it needs.

Ron Olson · Apr 25, 2019

As far as the trim tabs go, the orange boat used hardware from an Easy-Vee that the guy messed up badly so I used what he had but got him some Speedmaster turn fins. I set mine up according to Wayne's instructions but of course they can come off.Yes, there is room under the hatch for the spark plug using the Zippkits mounts.

Daniel's Racing · Apr 25, 2019

It will be fine. I don't think it makes much difference having them back there you just probably want to raise the outers to where there's not much effect and use the inners to stabilize the hull at upper speeds. When CG/prop is right these boats can run with everything pretty much flat.

One trick on the exhaust if using a SS header is to heat it cherry and give it a little tweak adding bend and it gets the pipe right between the radio box and the edge of the opening. Makes it so you have more material left on canopy on the left side as sometimes it is into the deck even without a little tweak.

Building another Assault here soon.

picked this mono up when I was in Fla Ordered up all the Speedmaster hardware for it, Zipp turnfins.

Just need to finish up some water lines and fuel setup and it will be ready to test.

Wes Ellet did the Mtn Dew graphics I think it looks good with that color.

Dino,
Something to remember, most of the boat builders/manufactures do this as a way to support the hobby,
Making them is not there full time job. Most have a full-time real job.
Don't know how you have tried to make contact with Scott Adam's (email, PM, phone)
But he does not frequent this site as much as he does
Jim's RC Boat Dock.
Either way, be patient, this is a hobby

Understood thank you very much.
