What I have been working on to get it back in the water

This has been an ongoing project that got held up just because. I did a lot of work on the hull to try to make a cheap Vanquish a bit better overall..
I have a few more pictures but only able to post five at a time.

A few from when I bought it used and some of the work pictures.

Here are a few after pictures . I was going to get the paint better but I got tired of it and am just going to run it and have fun with it . Then if it turns out it is working well I will get back to the paint.
It did run really well for wht kind of crap it was put together with.
This has the Castle 800 and change? kv motor .
On ten cells it is pretty fast I think and fun is way up there.

A silk purse from a sows ear??

We will see this weekend . Wish I had a smaller GPS just to check .
I have two short videos of it running first trip before the fixing of burnt speed control and unacceptable motor mount.

I can find and link them if you want to hear it scream ....
