After being out of the hobby for a few years, I decided to give it a whirl again. I've forgotten a lot, but after reading, searching and asking a few questions, it's coming back.
I was mostly into cats and monos before, so I figured I'd try a hydro to rewet my feet in the hobby. I think after I get this one done and tune on it to make it right, I'll move on to my PT SS45 and make that one a pretty sweet and very nice build with some higher end and more potent and reliable parts.
Anyway, onto my DF 34.....
Obviously it's red, which is cool. Wish it had a white bottom, which is my favorite color combo.
Hardware is all Speedmaster 21, with the turn fin from Mojo Racing and an upcoming custom fin bracket made by me.
Power will be a Leopard X2 4082 1600kv run on 6s Giant Power and Dinogy 3s packs...which I think are the same battery.
Speedo is a Seaking 180. Hitech WP servo, 2s RX pack.
Still need to buy a RX for my DX4S.
I started by filling in part of the air trap just behind the sponson transoms with epoxy mixed with milled FG, along with putting some in the sponson tips and in the top of the "cockpit".
Next, I reinforced the hatch with 2 layers of FG matting.
That's all I've got done so far. I need to make a longer motor mount to take advantage of a longer water jacket. The mount I have allows for only a roughly 50mm long jacket, leaving quite a bit of motor behind. Whether it needs it or not, I don't know, but I'd be more comfortable with a longer jacket and it'd look proper anyway. IMG_0923.jpgIMG_0924.jpg
