First off
I would like to say I am a newb to the rc boat world. I have been messing with them for a year or so, and that means I know very little on the subject. I am almost finished with construction on my first hull, and I am almost ready to stain it. I kick myself for not becoming a member here earlier because I would have built one of JAE riggers instead of this hull. It is a Dumas lil rascal. I know they suck if you build them just like the plans, but I have changed some stuff to try to help a bit with it's performance. My question is what do you guys use for clear coat after you are finished with stain? My plan is to get this one running, and drive it for a bit. Then start to build another true quality up to date hull in the same size range so that I can use some of the hardware off the rascal. Then hang the rascal up for decoration. Thanks for any help you guys give, and I am sure I will have more questions. I will post some pics this weekend of the boat. The biggest problem I have had so far is making room for the tank. I made room by making a cowl, and turning the tank on it's side. IT looks ok, but I would like to find a carbon cowl to cover it instead. Thanks again!
