    cadillac theme

    Hey guys.
    With a lot of effort i did it. The crest and the script was the hardest. All done with DXF pen for cutting. Took a long time But i am very happy with the results!.
    This will be my new theme for my race boats! my boats will have
    the crest ( 4th gen) V series logo(5th gen) Cadillac script (3-5th gen) and then 32 Valve northstar logo (4th gen)
    The crest that you see that is broken apart it going in the back window of my car!( that is why the crest is reversed) i thought it would be cool.
    And i will be doing the crest in gold and then rest in black
    Like it ? The computer and loading it to the net has taken down the resolution alot.

        Yep i cut them on a laser.
        and there was tons of time But applying them i did in the car. LOL
        i was late . . riped them off the laser and drove down and put them on in the car to display them at the show.
        Pretty damn good . . . Its no worse them women putting lipstick on in the car.

          That looks awesome on that Triton. Did you use available vector art or did you have to draw that? I find many vector (eps) logos at brandsoftheworld.com for my plotter cut designs. That is some cool work you have done there!

                    Hi Eyekandy
                    I am just starting to build a Toysport Triton myself and am curious to know your set up - motor,prop, batteries etc.
                    I have also discovered there are at least two versions of this hull, with and without self righting, but also with and without steps on the bottom.
                    Mine is I guess the 'basic' model with no self righting and no steps but it has a ride pad about 14 inches long extending out to 3/4 wide at the transom.
                    I will be setting it up with an 8XL and 12 cells with lipos planned for the future.
                    Graham.

                      Hey there Graham.
                      My boat is as you can see the self righting boat, and DOES have steps. Although they are not on the ride pad, they are still steps, and it has 90 deg ending strakes which are, like steps illegal in the MONO class of racing.
                      Graham, I believe there is only one "hull" design but two models of the hull, one with and one with out the chamber.
                      Believe it or not those little indentations on the outside edges of the hull ARE in infact steps. although they are not on the ride pad, the boat is illegal for a mono class.
                      If you are racing then you will have a tough time running in mono.
                      Why Joseph did that i have no idea. I will be griding down the end of the strakes and filling in the steps on the Hull.

                      I run speed master 3/16th stinger, and a rudder i got some somewhere? Prather trim tabs and some no-name turn fins ( like the one OSE sells)
                      for power. I have 4s2p 5000's Mah packs sitting int he back, a Neu 1521 1.5D and a hydra 240 to give it life.

                        That boat is just sick.
                        The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

                          what kind of performance do you get out of that combo?

                          The boat looks great!

                            Thanks Avanti27

                            I expect to see 55mph out of it for a oval heat racing.

                              do you have any pics that show how that self righting chamber works (is laid out)?
