Slow build - 8S Twin Cat

It’s all about the upright fins, that’s why you are ahead!
Great looking boat and I love the action shot!

The fins allow for minute lateral adjustments to be made to improve cornering!

Is that a windshield decal (it looks good)
I need one, just not sure where to go for one.

Looks good Larry. Did you use teflon in your drive line or just bare brass?

Mono Jeff in here makes nice windshields. If you make a paper template of what you need and mail it to him, he could print you one.

No Teflon Ray, just good marine grease.

Yup, its was Chris's... If I remember right he had a LMT 3080.

OK - so after debating with myself about the placement of my radio receiver.
I finally decided to place it at the front away from the motors and ESC's.
I had built a reinforcement piece for the deck out of 2mm carbon fiber plate that I got from OSE.
Along with two pieces of the 1/4" carbon square tube that I had. I drilled 3/32" holes in the plate and the tubing.
I then put it altogether with JB Weld.
The antenna sticks out 4" high just in front of the hatch.

I like it Larry, a little loom down the middle of hull for Rx power and steering servo would work great

I am working on that.
I need some black 3" cable ties.

If I would’ve known that I could have sent you out some loom and ties on a truck a week ago.

[TRUCKPULL]

I picked up some black cable ties, and some 3/4' X 3/4" square tie downs.
I used all the loom that I had in stock, on the front section between the ESC's and the receiver.
I then ordered 4 more meters of the black 8MM loom from BC ROTICS in Nanaimo BC.
