Pre-preg carbon self righting Titan 29 build

[Brushless55]

The original hull maker will do a CF layup for a price. Mike Pags has one.

do we know how much lighter these are vs the original ones?

@ ray schrauwen and Steven Vaccaro: I’m not going to sell these hulls but I want to tell you that pre-preg carbon parts are the strongest parts that can be made with carbon fiber. Also if you look carefully to the coupling between the upper and lower part of the hull you can see that is not glued like the original, and with this system I can make the entire hull monocoque.

Do you have a plan for using a turn fin on the side with the flood chamber?

Sure! It will be made with carbon turn fins both sides.
Your Titan in the video is running very good, how much fast is it there?

Batteries plate, servo support and velcro support are ready.
The last 2 pics are for the batteries options. 4S3P with Haiyin 4000mAh and 5S2P with Gens Ace 5300mAh.

In the vid it's right at 50mph

[driftah]

Titan is quite wide boat with substantial freeboard, it will self righting only if your batteries are placed along wet channel.

You should be careful about copying someones design and trying to sell it that they have patented and sold for many many years, do what you want for yourself and your own personal use but i wouldn't sell these if I were you. Rermember there was this "little" company called Traxxas that tried to sell their "spartan" under the name "Titan" and had to change all their marketing and packaging they had probably spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on. And that was just a name, you are ripping off a complete design!!!!!! Please don't rip off guys that have spent their lives building and selling great boats. I can't believe ANYONE here would even consider egging this guy on!!! please think before you post.

I do have a CF Titan 40 Made by Aeromarine that was done in an autoclave, it is the lightest boat you could imagine, the bare hull weighs somewhere around 13oz, RTR in LSO trim it probably weighs what a fully laid up titan or DF hull alone weighs.

Dude.. Calm down and read. He's not selling them.

[madmikepags]

I am calm. People are asking him about buying them and thats whats not cool, and the fact he made a mold and outright copied a patented design and is bragging about is is also not very cool. I am calm, very calm, when I'm not calm you will know.

[ray schrauwen]

As best as I can tell Aeromarine has never made a hull with a flood chamber. Now if the Patent was still in Pending stage, he would get his butt sued really easy but, once a Patent is on file it's open to modification/ redesign and knock off. You only need to change so many things before it is no longer a "copy" so to say. That said I don't really encourage the practice myself...

See this?

This is a copy of a DF explorer hull. Not the same hatch, not the same colours and not the same quality but, definitely a copy and no innovation.

[madmikepags]

whatever ray u guys all understand what i mean. I'm done I'm not even gonna look at this thread again. so if you do reply to me I won't see it.

[Rumdog]

Because people dig what he did, and want to buy it, doesn't mean that's what he's doing. In fact, he stated that he will not be making them to sell. Whats the problem here? You can make whatever you damn well please for your own personal use. It's not like he's branding it and looking to profit from it. What if I make a set of trim tabs that look exactly like Speedmaster.. then start a thread to show what I made, because I think its badass. Will people jump down my throat for that, too?

[Shoot to thrill]

It's a bad ass little boat. All my pre-preg experiance is with racing kayaks and much larger boats and I will say it is the balls.
