** hpr 233 / radtekpowerboats 92 " cat build **

[rickwess]

I look at build threads like these and quickly conclude that I have much to learn. WOW is all I can come up with.

[Doby]

This has to be the fastest build I've ever seen....from 3:36 AM today to its first time getting wet at 3:59 AM. Impressive speed building and a beautiful outcome.

Just amazing Ryan, well done!!!! sadly I cant take any credit as 99.2 1/2 % was your idea Seriously, you should be so proud. Big girls like that are not easy.

Thanks Kent, yeah they are harder, its an effort just to turn it over or stand up right to work on it lol

Great build. Impressive to say the least.

Thanks Steve, appreciate it. Look forward to seeing your Mystic completed.

awesome boat and amazing building. now you need to convince about 5 of your friends to build them for full out offshore style races. would get pretty rough out there lol

Thanks iridebikes, Yeah the odds are stacked against me in terms of getting friends to buil one lol. But ill try would be fun for sure!!

The you very much rickwess, i learnt everything i know right here through reading and asking. I still have much to learn.
But hang around here enough you become educated from quite a few knowledgable individuals.

Cheers for your kind words.

Well I didn't come up with it, Ryan showed me this picture and said I wouldn't mind this, but with HPR on it.... so we played around with it until we landed on this. Surprisingly it looks like a lot of material already out there.

Hey Keith, thanks.
Yeah i follow Australian Superboat championships on facebook, they had the design posted by kent so i asked if he could just use that and put hpr 233 in it.
Kent being as he is with that imagination wanted to come up with his own and so came up with this. I was very happy with it so thats what we went with

Well I didn't come up with it, Ryan showed me this picture and said I wouldn't mind this, but with HPR on it.... so we played around with it until we landed on this. Surprisingly it looks like a lot of material already out there.

Yes it may look like alot out there, but how different can you get when your using the silhouette of a scale boat? I think what you came up with was awesome, love it!

[nata2run]

Thanks, Ryan! good point. A silhouette scale boat can't look much different "I guess" I'm glad that you like the concept, and even more glad that the boat runs totally awesome!!. When in QLD next time I demand to see this thing in person LOL. (by the way, one of my favourite travel destinations in Aus)

Please keep it on the surface fellas.

Hi Ryan,

What did you use in the servo box in pic 4? Obviously savox but particulars matter! lol

I'm seeking some info on a build like this as well!

Checking balance point which is apparently in the middle of the second step, loaded up batts and all she ended balancing perfect.
Servo box layout not 100% complete tidy wise, ill have to work on that slowly.

Thanks Tiqueman, much appreciated. How you getting on with your boat?

Hi Ryan,

Hey mate, I used Savox 2270sg High volts..
The problem was, I run Futaba and they say to run the reciever R603FS at 6v max.
Ive found a few people who just run off a lipo @ 7.4v anyway and say its been fine.
But didnt wana risk this much money on a $90 reciever blowing up while im going flat out and may need to turn lol.
So to use the 2270's to there max potential somewhere around 444 Oz-in @7.4v i used a Gryphon Regulator.
You plug your 1 or 2 servo leads into a specific slot and according to what slot its in theres little Dil switches on the back and you can select to step up the voltage or step down etc.
So i have the reciever slot set @ 6v and the 2 servos set @7.4 and the unit its self is obviously a 2s lipo . Make sense?
I use them in my Heli's.
I also turn everything on and off via this.. Has a flag that saids " Remove before flight" lol i hope not

Here it is if you wana check it out.
