RE: Finally almost ready 12.5" bbyracing micro jet boat
Yea actually haven't updated the thread... well here goes, I essentially ripped everything out, fibreglass gone, and cut the hull. Currently this is the flatest I can make it though the hull seems to still bow a little half way through the cut. Going to try dragonfires idea of molding the abs with some heat to see if I can get it a little nicer. Got some aluminum off a buddy, cheaper than buying but its either 1/4 or 1/8 of an inch. Whatever it is it's thicker than I wanted. Unfortunately buddy is borrowing scroll saw for tonight so I can't cut the luminum plate. But atleast I can design it on photoshop so should be a breeze to cut tomorrow or friday (got yet another exam... geez). Here's a bunch of photos.
oh yea note. bought a couple 7.4v lipos (2000mah) and 1 more 11.1v (1200) will be here in a couple weeks, on top of that rvm shop on ebay has forward and reverse escs(30 and 50amp models) available for sale now! Picked up one for this boat, hopefully I won't have to put the ugly bucket on to get reverse.
Oh yea some of these images are posted on the "unofficial jet drive" thread so some might have writing on them.
