Hi Joe !

My plan with the electric F1 tunnel is to keep it as simple and 'affordable' as possible - SUSTAINABLE FUN- It will be an Inboards - utilizing the standard strut and rudder set up....I am wanting to attract a wider range of participants to the class - young and old / male and female - Electric is 'plug and play' - can be managed and maintained easier - I will be designing the set up around an 8s battery power set up - so that 4s batteries (fairly common size) can be run in series - keeping the expense down...

Looking to achieve speeds of around 80km/h.....anything over that will just make it 'to fast' for good racing......
