Looking like a real weapon there Chad! Are you doing it brushless or nitro?
I hope it doesn't need a .45 nitro engine. lol

How's the build going Chad? Havn't post for a while.

Can you recomend a good hull for the engine I'm buying off you?

Cheers, Brett.

Yeah been a bit slack!lol
Everytime I think about doing resin work it gets too windy or too cold or it rains!
Really wish I had a workshed.

What were you looking at Brett, do you want to scratch build your own or buy a glass hull?
I have a few plans for .45 sized boats.
Have not run nitro boats though.

Expresscraft Sport v 33" $120 or a dumas kit, not sure which model.

I may go this one, 820mm long HK Pursuit = $99.

Sweet, looks fast!
From memory the mono hull the Nitro engine came from was around 39inches.
So should be plenty fast in a bit smaller hull like that.

Got the second resin coat on the underside and one on the top on the weekend, really didnt want to do brush coats anymore as it takes so much time to sand smooth. Was going to get the paint guys at the airfield to spray the resin coats on but decided to do that next time.

Maybe I should be looking at a bigger boat.

I hear what your saying about the resin, I have a small shed to tinker in but it's not big enough to swing a cat in. Sanding brushed resin is a hastle, spray is the only way to go.

Now here is something really different. Watch the whole video, it's amazing!
