Default Brushless Top Speed 2

Well I couldn't resist. I had a spare SuperVee motor and ESC just sitting collecting dust. I have always been fascinated buy tunnel hull boats so I got a Top Speed 2. At $90.00 it is $20.00 cheaper than the bare SuperVee hull and comes with all the hardware and a real nice stand. I also bought a complete carbon fiber lower with electric motor mounting kit and drive adaptor. It kinda hurt to cut up my new boat to mount the new radio-battery box I built after arranging the components to keep the balance point at 9 1/2in from the stern. The motor cover is from an Aquacraft EP1 and I fabricated lower cover to make it more to scale and route the cooling pipes. The motor and the ESC are water-cooled. It took about 20 hours to complete the project and I'm very pleased with results. I live in a summer vacation area where electric power makes the neighbors smile. I don't have a GPS but my new Brushless Top Speed 2 is faster than our SuperVees and is rock solid at top speed where the SuperVees are on the edge. Oh, and I found out one more thing, SuperVees can't turn. Enjoy[8D]
