Anyhow, Gerwin was kind enough to show me how to do it myself with 2 first techniques failing, I had to cheat a little, but got it right3rd time is the charm.Now all I have to do is create my own design on them

Not sure what kind of copy right laws there are for reproducing them.

I want to reproduce them for me, not to sell them, so I don’t get it when you talk about copyright laws... You make me sound like a thief or something: P

Wolf,

Will try to take some more pics this weekend. I have taken a bunch of pics but not many of them come out because the hull is so smooth and reflects any light off of it. Almost like looking into a mirror. Will have to find a sheet as a back drop and play with some different lighting for taking some pics for ya. More to come.

Painters name is Jonathan and is located in Federal Way, Washington State (USA). He is a student at the Seattle ART Institute and he works in his dads auto body shop on the evenings. He is very talented. Not cheap though. Will find his number for you and PM you with it if you like. I better ask him if its ok to post his number here.

starboard side complete ordering 2 of the Mhz stuff tube supports if they come in 8mm tube sizes, spent 2 hours today in my 'free periods at school' (Brownian motion Yawn - Physics) machining some stainless steel pipe to 4mm outer dia and 3mm inner for mounting the rudder dang was tricky i guess ill be machining the supports if they dont come in 8mm, the school just got a £50,000 3 axis cnc machine... could be fun


all washers are spring washers all bolts / nuts stainless steel

LOVE THOSE STUFFING TUBE SUPPORTS!!!!

V,

Sorry, how did I miss that MHZ stuffying tube support! That is sweet! Picture already answered my question. Very nice!

[malibu1]

Elvish,

One pair of the motormounts have been shaped a little for my hull and both pairs are currently not with me right now. If you are in a hurry, I think I would try HP. He told me when I purchased my hull that he had drawings for the shape of the mounts. Not sure what kind of copy right laws there are for reproducing them...

V,

Thats coming along very nicely! Are you going to build a support for the end of the stuffing tube? I think I may.

I recieved some items from OSE today. Got X442, X442R, X447, X447R, an MR3000 reciever, some locktite for the shaft and two 8mm-.187 collars.

I also have some CF on order but have not seen it yet (Hobby City).

I am having a heck of a time sourcing 4mm OD/3mm ID stainless tubing. Anyone know where I can get some here in the states? Tower had some in brass but I had to buy like 12 sticks of it. I think I want SS and only need 6 inches..

Still having a hard time figuring out what to use for an ESC. I think I may purchase Castle Pheonix ICE 160's or 200's and mount them to a home made water heat sink.....

malibu1, can you draw the contour of your spare motor mounts you have on a paper and scan it?
I would like to make custom mounts for my build and don’t feel like paying the 45 Euros.
It would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Is that an MGM esc?

Nope. Its an Evolution 2 speedo. Dont know if its true but I heard its built by the same company that builds the YGE but I dont know that for a fact.

It was 120CHF for shipping from Switzerland to Beijing via EMS, twice as much compared to US destination. overall its not completely unreasonable for such a big box over such a distance in such a short time.

Just got the motor mounts and stuffing tubes done last night, looked sweet.

Tuslow, I am not trying to be stingy on the pics. Just have not done anything with the hull to take pics of. Will gladly take some pics if you have specific shots you want to see? I know when I was looking at purchasing the hull, I looked at every pic and angle of everything I could find on this hull.
