Hey guys.

Some may recognise this boat. Was for sale here from Euroglider and I bought it.

SOO the motor I posted about in the motor section was motor that come with this boat so after not being able to make it go, I pulled the RCMK motor outta my Cat and bolted it into the Monster hull.

Pretty straight forward swap and had it going within few hours. Didnt rev out as pipe header was to long for the tune I had at that time. But was just for testing.

The boat is setup to run a clutch so the CG of boat is set forward a bit. As I couldnt get a hold of a clutch I had to run motor back to much and as you will see bounces like well a lot lol.

BUT i just wanted to see how it handles etc compared to the Cat. And that is didnt sink lol.

VERY happy with the hull though. Sat well turned perfectly and sat well while conering. In straight line it bounced a lot but some playing around will fix that. Now I have the 260PUM motor running that will go in this hull and should still be a fun boat. More of a muck around boat this will be. The seducer cat is the speed machine hehe.

Anyways heres a vid of it running.

Ok small update on this.

Got the clutch FINALLY for it and mounted motor back where it should be. Still playing around with centre of gravity of the hull but motor is in to stay now.

Still need to order another throttle linkage and setup a few bits n bobs but motor is running in boat and sounding nice and strong.

Just aquired another brushless boat.................... i know i can't help myself lol. So will hopefully get them wet very soon. Got a massive few weeks ahead of me though so might not be till after that.
