I have a Mobil1 oil sponsorship decal set from an old RC car too which will set off the silver very nicely. Will post up pics when its sorted. Silver looks awesome, just waiting fro full cure before masking out the hi vis areas Then its a waiting game for the Lipos that are on order, my 4300Mah Nimh just wasn't cutting it. It would get up on the plan after a while of pushing its bow wave, kinda realistic but not really why I modified the boat and 50% less revs than my cousins setup doesn't make for a great comparison.

I can tell ya in about a week that is were I ordered all my stuff fromhobbypartzs. I bought hobbywingmotor and esc andand I think it was a bluelipobattery

comanchekid

It looks the same as the Turnigy I'm just worried about quality....

sundogz

That is an excellent choice esc for a 2040 size motor. Be sure to run the water cooling to the esc first, then to the motor, then out. No worries there.

If you are looking for something to take signs and glueoff the boat.I used moo-ter cleaner & degreaser from( cowrc.com). Ittook a little elbow grease, not a lot,but worked excellently anddid not hurt the plasticor finish at all.Cow products are outstanding. I highly recommend all their goods.

That Looks pretty freakin sweet man! with my luck tho if i put that much work into painting it up and making it look good id sink it soon after ;-)

I figure that the paint would help seal up any little gaps that the sealant might have missed anyway. There is more hi vis orange surrounding the jet intake too. There's really only one way for the water to get in now and thats through the hatch which is getting some serious attention to prevent this.

If anyone else is masking their boat up then make sure you use low tack vinyl tape. Having the metallic silver peel off with the masking tape was not a great look.

Read this ENTIRE thread! Once I was done, there were really no questions to ask, everything was covered. Very informative!

Well, here is what all my reading caused:

rj walker

Looks awsome you did a nice cleanjob I like them headers to were did you find them?

CBRobbins

Thanks! Headers are for a 1/10 Losi Slider sprint car, turned upside down.

rj walker

Cool if you don't mind I might copy your idea. I have a set off of a ul 1 they are ok but a little small

CBRobbins

No problem. Wish the Losi headers were just a little bit longer, I was going to hook the water from the cooling up to them for the water cooled header look. LOL!

4mods

I think we are all going to see more of those headers... they rule man! Very nice touch.

DashRiprock

WOW ! very sharp looking boat car and trailer dude!  looks like you put a lot of work into that setup.  what are you running in the boat? post some vids lets see how she runs!

CBRobbins

Thanks! I've got a Hobbywing 4800kv in it on 7.2v, Seaking 25a speedo, Hobbico standard size servo, and 2 Gens ace 1300 mah 25c lipos, Spektrum reciever and DX3R.
The trailer is just something I threw together, got about $7 in it. The fenders are the capoff a can of spray paint!
The Camaro is my USGT car that I race at Thunder R/C Raceway in Nashville,TN, Thought it would look cool pulling a boat!
Don't have any videos yet, been having too much fun to even think about it.

rj walker

Looks really sweet nice pond to need to get a ul-1 or mg for that baby

CBRobbins

That's the good thing about here in Tennessee, water everywhere!4 big ponds in sight of the house, creeks everywhere. The Buffalo, Duck, and Tennesse Rivers are all just a few minutes away.

DashRiprock

yeah lots of lakes , rivers, creeks here too just not running very much at all now. ive paddled the buffalo river here in arkansas a few times too. great place to take your kayak, canoe or raft.

rj walker

I have alot of water here in washington tojust about every were you look hahaha trick is finding it with no moss or algae floaten in it
