Default *Brushless 1/12 Elam Build Thread*

Ok well we have seen alot of Brushless Vegas built up, now we need to see some brushless Elams being built.
Iv had this old Miss Elam forever now since 2002-3. Since then its been through hell lol. If you have any Ideas,
or have one thats built alredy please post pictures. Iv looked on youtube and there are a couple done...but not many.
So here are some start picture.

Also, Im thinking of going with the new AQU ESC W/ a 2300 Ammo, will the boat see 48mph???











After the boat is sanded and ready for paint ill post more pics, also the inside needs alot
of work. Ill try to do this in steps, more Ideas and pictures Welcome!

Just finished a Formula hydro, clone of Elam and Miss Bud. Boat went a 48.0 on GPS with a Feigao 7 xl , 2 lipo 7.4 volt batts and a 442 prop. Going to switch to a 8 xl and slightly larger prop so i can get a even 50 mph. Boat seems to run very "light" on water but ran good. Whatever you do seal it up good! Water always finds a way in.
