Help setting up a H&M

[lferguson]

I need some ideas on setting up the interior of a H&M Skater. Servo mount and placement mainly. I think once I get that I can go from there. The boat is 26" from sponson transome to tip.

Guys, I am 95% sure that Lee is setting this up for FE, so it may be a little different than a nitro set-up.

If it were me, and I were building an FE boat out of the Skater, I would make the "radio box" the full length of the cut out from Ply, then section it into two sections so you have one compartment for all radio stuff, and one larger comparment for batteries. Have them separated with a bulkhead and sealed individually.

Heres a couple pics of mine, its an OLD boat, so its not pretty, but it works good...

Lee knows where the motor is!

This is true James.. I should have mentioned that. I haven't checked this thread in a day or two, thanks for the help guys. This is going to be a FE setup. I need help with two things here. A) Servo install. I know were just not how. and B) The wires coming from the motor... I am thinking a plate about one or 2 inches long and run them through the plate.

Race Junkie can I get some shots of your transome? I think that would help. Thanks again guys.

Don't know the speed a this moment, but I'm using some 60gram in the front.

Tunnel total weight is 2300 grams.

I will let you know the speed later.
