Get Twiggy behind that thing. I'd like to see him hit the double up.

Moe, that thing is awesome! Where do you get the parts?

[MinnesotaNautique]

That thing is great! Supposedly they have a inboard/direct drive replica that should be out this month.

Hey Moe, my boat doesn't seem to go that fast? did you make an changes to yours? I already checked into different motors and putting a small light on the bow for the bow light, the hobby shop "says" I can't put faster motors on it.

Take a look at Moe's contributions to THIS THREAD. He's made quite a few modifications to his R/C SAN.

check out www.towerhobbies.com for parts. I used a local hobby shop for a lot of my parts. They also told me I couldn't upgrade the motor. Then I told them I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS BOAT GO FAST! and that if they don't have the parts someone else would. So they ended up having everything I needed. If anyone is really interested I can get a complete list of parts I used and some more detailed instructions. I will tell you this though. You're loooking at about $200-$250 plus the original kit.

Speaking of Twiggy, how come this size model isn't available?

[Frost]

Moe, I fly electric planes (park flyers) so I have the servo for the rudder, 4 800mAh Ni-Mh batteries... What size is the seed control? if thats what I see the batteries pluged into? I have a 5amp but with 2 batteries I think I would need a 10amp... I guess I am going to have to buy the rest...

Moe...great job!! Maybe you can bring that to some of the events we are going to have this summer? It would be a big hit I'm sure.

[Moe]

Frost,
I don't know for sure what the size of the speed control is for sure. The local hobby shop set me up with one that is waterproof. My batteries are 2-1000 Mah NIMH. the are 6 cell so it is 7.2 volts. they also power the receiver so there is no need for an additional pack for it. Good luck with yours if you do it, I sure had fun putting mine together.


Eric,
You can count on it being at Cedar Point for sure, maybe some other events as well. how are things going at "rons" for you?
