Gimp's 37" Fighter Cat Daytona

[Gimp]

I second that!!!

You're half way there Jerry lol.

I found an M2 screw, that'll save a trip to the LHS. I powered it up and got everything set up, can't see any reason not to be able to finish her up tomorrow

Depending on the weather, I MAY take a trip out on Wednesday. Problem at school is the best place to go is about 40 minutes away. At home, I have choices, all within 5-20 minutes away (spoiled I know lol).

Sweeeeeet!!! Boat looks great Gimp!!!

Thanks bud! I'm extremely happy with the way it turned out. Now that I have the boat, I can start throwing hints at my Grandad haha

They were the only stickers I had around that were of size and didn't have anything obviously go-fast or crawlers.

I'm sure they'll turn up tomorrow, if not I'll see if I have any screws that will work. No sweat lol

Question for Tiqueman and anybody with the Daytona/Genesis, what are you guy's using to hold down the cowl?? I've looked at a bunch of pics and nobody has any type of cowl locks, are you guy's just taping them down?? I'll probably make my own for the rear, just some threaded rod with a wing nut to hold it down, then maybe a dowl pin in the front.

Go to ace hardware they will have most if not all of the screws you will ever need.

I probably have everything here from being into crawlers and such. I'll take a look tonight.

Here's how the front's held in, the rear is just taped (I tape all the way around).


She's ready for the maiden!!!!!

Thanks Gimp, that's what i had in mind for the front too! As far as cooling, looks like you are goin from rudder to the ESC -to motor -to motor mount- then out, correct? I've been debating dual pick-ups but as long as the single rudder pick-up is sufficient for everthing then i won't worry about it.

the water hookup sound wright i have bolts threw my hatch ill post pics tonight,, they were simple..
