Rumdog's copycat stretch renegade

[Rumdog]

Just Finished up this build and figured I'd put up some pics. Inspired by Diegoboy's stretch renegade rigger. Octura hardware. I wanted to go right side rudder, but thecontrol arm on the rudder is fixed. I really enjoyed building this kit.Fairly easy, and great instructions! I used some carbon fiber plate that I drilled and trimmed up for the boom supports and turn fin bracket. It is super rigid! I sanded a bit of angle to the outsides of the sponsons just for looks. I like the way it looks on the blizzard rigger, so I gave it a whirl. Gave it 2 coats of stain to finish er' up real pretty. Running a 3300kv 400df outrunner. I've got a 40 amp esc on the way, but my maiden run tomorrow will be with just a 25amp. Gonna go with a x431 to start. Maiden run tomorrow!!

Very cool! I love the use of the outrunner. it should get up on plane very quickly! video tomorrow right?

[Rumdog]

HAHA, I never vid the maiden run. I kinda wanna focus on gettin er dialed in. there will be vid soon though!

[Diegoboy]

Very cool. Well done!
I see you used the standard rudder config. It'll be interesting to see if there is any difference in handling since my rudder is on the opposite side.

Way to go Ryan!! Can't wait to hear how it goes!

Diego, have you run yours yet?

WOOHOO! she rips! 3 runs today! First with x431, then y531, then x631. It was sooo much faster than my old rene. Thermaled the 25 amp esc in about 1 minute on the x631. Can't wait to get my 40 amp! Corners super flat and wot turns are no prob at all. It is suprising how well it handles a little chop, it eats it right up. Vid hopefully this weekend, if it ever stops raining.

Looking forward to a video! I want to build another one of these little monsters! Your mod looks cool, and from what you say makes the boat a little bit more forgiving on the chop.

Thanks for the update Ryan! Awesome!

That's it!!...I'm building one!!!

Hey Ace!!

[Rumdog]

Do it! It is such a blast to drive!

[Diegoboy]

I'm glad you're happy with it!

[Rumdog]

Thanks for the inspiration Danny! Oddly the 3300 kv motor runs much cooler than my 2600kv. I don't get it, a good thing though. Danny, was the water pickup in your sponson flush with the ride pad? On the original rene i mean. Thought of cooling my esc, but we'll se how the 40 amp does.

[Diegoboy]

Pickup is in the sponson, I'll post a pic shortly

[Diegoboy]

...as promised

[Rumdog]

Ahhhh! yes, I likey. I may end up doing something like this.
