NEW Florida Fast Electric Club

[sailr]

Gonna try to make it on the 27th. Thought you might like to see some photos of my 1/8 scale. She's not completely done yet but finally got it trimmed out and painted.

[sailr]

A few more. I did the graphics myself.

And did a very nice job on them too.

[sailr]

Thanks Bill. I did the graphics in the computer and then sent them to a place to 'print and cut'. They came out pretty good.

Wow, looks great Jim. When do we get to see it run!

Got all the vids from today posted up over on RCG. I have to drop this one here too though.
Video camera and tape $495. Giving your buddy that was talking smack earlier a good spanking on the track... priceless.

bill the batteries last longer if u let off once in a while lol...you got that boat smokeing....love a good spanking vid lol.....ron

I'd like to have it ready for Feb 27th but don't dare tape it for about a month. Otherwise, it's gonna pull off the clearcoat! It's gonna be a real beatch to tape anyway.

Still have a lot of work to do on the shaft, esc, battery mounts, etc on the interior. Not sure this guy is gonna be all that watertight! I'm thinking about a radio box for the esc and receiver!

What ESC is he using with the Little Screamers motor?

The hull is actually a "chisel nose". Not many of them made.

LOL If I had been running my 6s packs, probably would have let off a little on occasion. To add insult to injury that run was only on my 5s packs. (I wanted an excuse in case it went the other way)

Mine is currently out of commision until I replace the stuffing tube and get another .250 flex cable. (seems to currently be out of stock everywhere).

Swordfish 240. Same as I'm running in my hydro and big mono.

[sailr]

I have a Leopard 5692, 1080KV in the big hydro. I wonder if the Swordfish 240 would handle it? Gonna run on 8S. I was planning to use a Castle 240HV but would rather spend less $$$ if possible! I already have a new in box Castle but would sell it if I thought the swordfish would hold up.
