Shawn she's looking great man keep it going ! I saw a post in the beginning where you were asking kent and I a question sorry for missing that i just been crazy with work and all.. Shoot me an email if that ever happens again I will reply much sooner.

I did a couple more things to these stingers in the bulletproof area(I do seem to overbuild).There was an issue with getting a stuffing tube to fit into the mounting surface of the stinger.So I put an O-ring inside as there is a little relief area there.This bought me enough to squeeze a 11/32 tube in nicely centered.
Next I decided to put a third screw hole to secure the stinger.

Got the doublers made.I had to make some little pucks so as to make a flush surface for the doublers.This is so that I get good torque transfer for the nuts/bolts of the stingers.




I know I said I wasn't going to CF this one but I am going to do something to even the interior out.I'm thinking yellow tint and a course weave FG cloth.This with CF mounts and such should look OK. Opinions?

In case you guys are wondering why the pics are dark,It is official:The season has changed in Vancouver.The second one is outside.

Shawn what is the color scheme for outside

[tagasagwan]

Hmmmmmm.... I don't know but I still love the looks and the strength of having a CF or CF/Kevlar lay-up. On the outside, maybe you can airbrush budlight scheme or something?

Shawn what is the color scheme for outside

Well it is going to get a Komodo dragon on the deck,haven't figured out how yet.So he should have turqoise,green,gray(red?).So I am thinking bright for the rest of the hull.I'm sure it will come to me,they always do.I'm no "Pro Painter" but they look alright.

Any update with the build Shawn?

[srislash]

Motor mounts are made.I can go with the CC 3434 outrunners,4083 950kv TP inrunners or I have a pair of 1400kv T-600's here.I'll be able to play with it.

Hey Bud keep in mind you need to keep the weight down to go fast.... just sayin
In our club Ray had a set of those T600 1400kv Outrunners in a twin drive setup and they flat out hauled the mail on 6s in a boat that size if I remember right...

Hey Shawn,

Just to give you an update, The next Komodo will have a higher over-hung to accommodate wider choices of stingers. 1/4" or 6mm has been added to the height but it can still be raised further but we are concerned that if we lift it higher, it might affect the hulls attitude during turns. So, what's your take on this? Is 6mm adjustment enough for the Komodo to accommodate other 3/16 stingers?

Stephen

Pic below shows total height is now 1 1/2" (38mm) tall. Just click the photo to enlarge.

That should be plenty Tag,a standard 110 stinger would need 32 mm total

The way you guys did this should "slim" the rear a bit as well.Is that hull going to Scott?

[RCKong]

I was browsing graphics and found this site with a bunch of dragons on it. Might be something you could use.

Thanks Brian,I'll look thru. So far this one is the best if I can have somebody do a outline decal of the dragon so I can airbrush the rest.

I need to find a good friendly graphics place I suppose.I think that could be Monday's mission as I have it off.
