    All nice and black now. They took the dye surprisingly well. #stealth

    I'm really curious to see how far I can go with this setup. My spacing between shaft centers is 55mm, but I only ever planned on maxing props at 50mm.

    I didn't like the antenna options out there, so I made my own. It isn't threaded, but should be fine.
    The wire holders are on top.
    The watercooling tube holders.
    LED bezels...

    Those tiny impellers are for my 10mm jet drive, that's sitting on the side.

    Don't you hate it when people do that to you.
    At least they sent them to the right address eh!

    I'm using a pair of the T180 v3 ESCs in my twin mono. They tuck up out of the way quite easily.They are handling the CNC 4614/3 blade props easily. although it must be said that the T600 outrunners are only 1330kv, not 1580kv like yours.

    Looking forward to seeing this boat on the water.

    Thanks guys.

    It would appear as though someone got a hold of all of my information and placed an order for two T180's and a programming card. Oh well, guess I might as well use them when they get to my address that was stolen from me. I should be more careful.

    The only thing left is flotation and props. I'll be starting with a pair of cnc X445.

    Beautiful job!
    I have both esc, flycolor and t180. Do not check your weight with a scale. But the t180 v3 itself is rather heavier. But it is smaller than the flycolor. If you want I look for a photo comparing them.

    Boredom the 180 V3 is smaller than the previous V2 and is a good option for your set up..btw nice work involved in this clean project.Gill

    Haha thanks. Keeping it clean is the main goal. Each and every piece in this build has gone through at least three design iterations just to find (what I think is) the optimal setup.

    The led bezels, revised cooling tube holdrrs, and "wire keepers" will be here on Saturday....tomorrow. I have to dye everything black, then will use silicone to secure everything.

    I need to make some type of stand to get a reliable CG reading.

    The only components needed are the speed controllers. The batteries I have aren't the best, but they will work for now.

    I don't see this thing pulling that much current. I'm still doing my deciding on that. I can't trust SF, but they have the best form factor. The Fly/Raider 150 has a good form as well, but may not be enough. The T180 has proven to be a very reliable ESC, but man is it heavy and bulky.

    That's a great suggestion on the case. I saw some pretty decent cases locally. I'll check those out first.

    I cut everything on an older variant of a Shark CNC. I would really like to upgrade to a stiffer machine, but $$$.

    I shortened the wire on the servo which helps a lot.

    I picked up a DX4C earlier this summer. I really like it. If you want a case for it, the Atomik soft case fits, despite that model Tx not being listed.

    I love all the carbon work. What are you using to cut it out?

    Just took advantage of Horizon's Black Friday deal and ordered a DX4C. It comes with an SR410. They are throwing in an SR415 for free.

    I just took a rough weight measurement with the bathroom scale. :/ The Mono will weigh less than 10 pounds fully built without batteries.

    The light system weighs 19g. That's using much heavier wiring than needed and covering everything.

    I mounted the tray and sled assembly. I used black silicone. It provides about 80mm of travel.

    I also cleaned up some of the light system's wiring. I'll probably cut the servo's wire short instead of wrapping it.

    The receiver will sit on a smaller tray attached to the servo tray on the port side. I'm also contemplating putting a small voltage display just behind the battery tray.

    I also have more tidy-uppers on the way along with LED bezels.

    Love the lights, I have been itching to build a wooden rigger and put LED light strips in the sponsons and tail-end to see how it looks when running in the dusk.
