Cheers 👍

Thanks RaceMechaniX. I actually printed something up for another boat but was concerned about temps. Maybe I could get a final one done by someone in the correct material. I was going to run 2 x 3S batteries but each one is 1P. I think that's correct? Yeah I'm in Sydney David.

Has anyone got any experience with safety loops? I'll need one, but it kills me to think I'll have to drill the deck and have an ugly wire hanging out of it. I wondered if anyone has seen or used any neat tricks?

Excellent feedback, thank you both!! I've been building a hydro from scratch, and the amount of things you learn as you go, like the carbon tip above, is huge. I'm forcing myself to finish it, but will probably need to build it again and make it significantly lighter/better with the knowlege...

I'm having a look at where the motor will mount. It's been recommended I get it back as far as I can but try not to create too much of a bend in the tube. On the mount as it is, the motor is a good 3/4" from the bottom of the boat. Would you lower it on the mount and flatten it out? That will...

Thanks Andy, good to know I won't melt it :)

I had to fix it :)

What can I use to get sticky-tape glue off the gelcoat? It was packed with tape on it!

Slow going at the moment but I've installed a doubler to the transom and have done the inlay between the engine rails. Would you do outside the rails also? The sides are anything but neat, it's not an easy material to work with! It'll annoy the hell out of me, but first try so can't be...

Sealing it up is a great idea.

Cheers Mark.

Not cheap either I notice! :) What are you guys using for epoxy to lay carbon fibre? I have tried it in the past with West Systems G-Flex but found it very difficult due to the thickness.

Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated. That's a beastly looking ESC Tyler!

Well I bit the bullet and purchased a hull off the back of advice here (thank you). I plan to run 6S as I already have a motor/ESC/batteries. The hardware is all on the way from a helpfuly Aussie supplier (RC Boat Bits) but I think my first task is to line the base with a carbon fibre inlay...

Thank you!

I've sent Hobby Supplies a message, to see if he's got a Delta Force or Seaducer hull in stock. I see a lot of people reinforcing these hulls with fibreglass or carbon fibre matt. Is this important?

Thanks for the feedback guys!!

Hi team, I was looking for some advice on a mono hull, to run reasonably competitively in a 6S class (we call it Q here in Australia). I originally wanted to build a Wild Thing with a kit from ML, however he's currently not sending kits to Aus as freight is all too hard at the moment. We don't...

I understand. Thanks for coming back to me.

Would you mind seeing what it would cost to send the outboard to Australia namba276? It would be postcode 2193.
