Mhz mystic 114 build

Yeah I’m pushing for 100mph in cat. What motors are maxing the X8s? I run an XLX2 with a single TP4060 in my 34” Carbon mono. The motor pulls 300amps easy but that’s a mono. I was hoping the X8 was enough for a cat with lower resistance on the water. I’m running 2 Leo 4092’s 2080kv.

1950 Lehners with a high KV on 6s.

It's a proper SAW (2 pass and done) boat

[vvviivvv]

I have 2250/7 in my Hpr's and that's about 120mph depending on props on 8s

I'm planning on SSS 4092-V2'S and CASTLE CREATIONS HYDRA XLX2'S.

XLX2 is on sale for $277 on Amazon, X is $269.. the question is not about cost, I am thinking about being heavy with two of those massive XLX lol

They are big. I'll really look at alternatives when ESC time comes.

For now, got the bandit mask done:

That rudder mount looks awesome. Nice work on the hardware countersinks

Really nice looking gear

[PlayerUnknown069]

Really nice rudder hardware. Are you hand cutting the carbon? Because it looks super clean cut. I wonder if I can cut carbon on my C02 laser.

[BUMBLESPECIMOODA]

Yes, hand-shaped. Dremel, files, sand-papers, & pain.

Did this today. When all parts are finished, the carbon bits will be clear-coated, the alu bits polished, and countersunk stainless fasteners installed.

Spun some threaded inserts for the canopy attaching. I tap the fiber-plate, then toothpick graphite-powdered epoxy-resin into the cut threads. Then I bolt in a waxed bolt to mold the threads. Works out very stong, and has resistance like nyloc-nuts.

They will be mudded & smoothed (with the rest of the messy stock lay-up), then covered in my lay-up of a layer of 6oz. carbon cloth.

Well that hatch will be secure. I thread the F/G or carbon for my rudders/struts for the most part. Interesting about the final step though. Nice little trick.

Those hatch locks look great.

What servo and servo horn setup are you planning on?
I see people saying the offset servo horn is best like the one from custom carbon fiber parts. Not who else sells one like that.
