Finally finished the RSX240, 24" Outrigger kit. It is a little brother to the RSX310, 31" hull some of you may have seen posted here. I have to make the cowl plug and mold, but the kit is complete, and is usable without the cowling as it includes the wood hatches, but you will need a bump up to do so. I will post this on the website, but just know the cowling plug is not available just yet, but will be soon! The tub width is a comfy 3" wide, and internal frames have been moved around to properly fit the 2s lipo and motor. you can see in the pics below the shaded motor and lipo. It is depicting a 2s lipo and a 36x60mm can motor. So as you can see, plenty of room. The top deck sponson skins are 1/32" as well, and enough 1/32" ply is included to sheet the rear sponsons as well. I do not do a precut skin for the rear sponsons as 1/32" is so thin, you can glue it on, and use a razor blade to shape fit the edges with ease. I will not be building one of these any time soon as I don't have the time, but it is based on the 31" which runs wonderful, so there is no reason to say this will not. Should be a blast actually. Anyways, here are some plan pics, and a pic of the RSX240 vs. the RSX310. An RSX380, 38" 6s hull kit is also in the works. Enjoy! Mike Luszcz
