RC Speed boat scratch built

Post by Hein SA »

This is my speed boat I built using plans from the net. It is totally scratch built, using balsa and ply for the hull construction. I gave my boat a deep V, not sticking to the plan which had a flat hull design. My 12V brushed motor is water cooled and controlled with a mechanical speed controller linked to a servo. I made the prop out of brass plate and a hardwood dowel, that took quite a while... Here is a few pics ;D enjoy
