    ProBoat Formula Hydro Nitro Conversion

    So i've been into this hobby for all of 2 months now, and decided it would be fun to do my own build. I cam across blackcat26 selling this this hull in the swap shop and said what the hell.

    There is very little room inside this hull so thanks to what I've learned on OSE here I've started my build by making more room as u can see in the first pic. I can actually squeeze my MaxAmps 3s 5250mAh in there.

    Now i'm wondering if i could take out the rear box area pictured in the second pic with lines around the proposed cut area. I wasn't sure if this boxed in area provides and structural support or anything. Anyone have some insight on this?

      Yeah, I've seen most of them. But hadn't seen a clear shot of the back area cut out. Thanks for the link that helps alot.

        That boxed in area is making the hull stiffer. If you take it out no big deal just make some bulkheads under there about where the box starts. That and a reinforced floor will get ya back solid again.
