Well, I have had a lot of interest in the PX 300(FE) and NX 300 (Nitro) 30" o/b tunnel frame up kits. A lot of people have asked for guidance with the build, so last weekend I spent about 7-8 hours from start to finish, and put together a PX335 kit. I am actually wishing I had done these frame up tunnel kits a LONG time ago. The build went flawless, and is very very symmetrical from left to right sponson. Hot wiring foam on the old wood over foam hulls was a real nightmare to get correct, and this took all the hard work out. Instead of 3-4 days of wait time with the wood over foam sponsons, I can have everything but the sponson top decks done in as little as an hour per sponson! Also, what I found to be nice, is this 33.5" PX335 FE hull, without gear or cowling weights only 3 lbs exactly on the scale...that is only around 8 ounces more than the ps295 foam hull weighted...so that is very acceptable as far as weight is concerned. Along with a gas tunnel I am working on, I will be building the PX300, NX300, and QX400 tunnels in the coming couple of weeks, and sharing info on those as well. Once the PX335, and QX400 are tested, I will move forward with an NX320, which will be a 32" hull for mod B tunnel, and an NX400, 39.5" hull for mod 7.5, and an NX350, 35" hull for stock 7.5. I will also take this info, compile it and have a pdf instruction manual soon. As always, I enjoy sharing these builds with everyone as they are fun! This hull will be powered by a Neu 1521 1.5d 1850kv motor, OS lower unit, and castle ice esc. Anyways, I have a LOT of pics, so bear with me uploading all of these. I will be working on that over the next couple of hours, so hang tight, and ask questions maybe once everything is up, or if you would like to see something specific, please just PM me and I will do so! Thanks, Mike
