what controller did you use to operate it

is there 2 rutters you used to turn it

I used an old 2 channel Futaba I had from my R/C car days...Check your mail, I sent you a message

i must of not got it

can u give me list of every thing i need to run it and build it
so i dont have to go to the hobby shop more than once

do you have any pics. of waht the kit looks like at the
very start, when you first started building it

bvanter if it wouldent be to much trouble could
you list all the things i need to run and buil the boat?

No pics of the kit before it was built. There is just no way you can plan on just going to the hobby store only once, and the fun part of building a kit like this...is working your way thru the challenges. I have had many mistakes that I had to work thru. That is how I learned and made the boat uniquely my own....good luck with the kit. Check in with me when you get it, and I will try to help if I can.

ok thanx for the help you have given me

bvanter what is the wire wapped around the motors
oh yea what servo and what reciever brand did you use?

im just skimming through this thread and noticed the wire around the motor question.

i beleive it is cooling coils, there is a pickup somwhere on the boat that moves water through to tubing to keep the motors cool.

saleen do you have a donzie z65

no, but im looking at it for a future build. i alreay have a speed oriented rtr boat and im kind of getting into the build it yourself builds. might as well know more on what u r using.

is there a better place to buy the donzi besides harbormodels?? maybe for a little less cash.

Well i bought myne from Towwer hobbies for 325$ or somtin around there i think there cheaper

Great Planes Pro Epoxy Finishing Resin
is this the stuff you use to fiberglass with?

i dont know too much about fiberglassing, but finishing resin sounds like something you put on after you have fiberglassed and sanded it down to give it a smooth finish.

Donziz65...there is another R/C forum like this one. You may be able to get more help on Fiberglassing

Do a search for donzi

I keep checking out this thread, since I've loved this boat since I first saw it, but I searched ebay and found one for $314, hope this helps.

would you reccomend this boat for a bigenner builder?

also, does the hull come with the hardware?? what motors would you reccomend?? and what esc and electronics would be best??

The Kit comes with plans, Fiberglass hull, 2 prop shafts, 2 props, connecting hardware for props and shafts, 2 Rudders, dowels, wood planking, and also laser cut wood. You will need to add your own touches including ESC. Radio, 2 motors, batteries.

Here are a few updated pics on the latest project....the ladders, and the rear railing, still in the rough...but coming along nicely.

I also just realized that the ladders are upside down....gotta go back in and fix that!!
