Most People Fly when it comes to RC
Planes is the Biggest market right?
Cars is also Very Popular offcourse.
RC Boats ?
I think not so many do this?
They are big, hard take out to sea,
also not so fun if something goes wrong, like engine stop or so.
Depending where you live, you have frozen Sea Winter time.
And also not every one have close to Sea.
This is why RC BOAT is so rare i think =?
Okey i love them.
I live almost at sea, i can walk only, and my vacation house is right at lake, i have private beach there.
i SHARE couple pictures
Here you can see . This is My Gas boat, 29cc, tuned pipe.
My car there is my Yokomo 1/10 4wd buggy just for size compare.
Under the deck:
I have also change the Steering Servo to a lot better 20kg Sävox digital , coreless
This is RTR Boat from beginning. If i remember right the original servo was just china junk 10kg metal gear
Okey then my next Boat.
This i Shame show you
Because it looks like CRAP. Peace of poop,.
Anyway i love this boat alot .
This is Brushless. Leopard 42size engine 6s
esc 180a Marine 6s
I have dual 3s 40c lipos in this.
This boat is so fast and cool. Also so stabile.
I have race and won alot agains Traxxas Spartan boats 6s.
My boat is MUCH BETTER HANDLING. also a bit faster
This is Custom build boat special.
Now i am doing restoration.
I will make this Boat look like new again.
I have start already , i take off every thing
then i go sandpaper in and outside.
Then i will try paint it very nice also,
I will change colors also.
I have about 10 RC Boats in my life.
My fastest one was Custom build Nitro boat, large , huge, 30 size special tuned nitro engine the best money can buy that time. Total price this boat was about 4000 in Dollar us.
sick
AND THE MOST SICK THING.
THIS boat was stolen from me.
The badguys took one scooter, two bikes, 4 nice RC CARS that special boat , and tools.
Police never find nothing.
And i had right that time so much work, i have start my third company that time.
I work like 15h day that time, right there when i start my third company,
i was millionaire then
So i never call insurance either.
I lost this stuff, got nothing.
oh sorry now the picture the UGLY BL Boat im restoration now anyway:
yes i was so goddamn busy that time, third own company, and this was also Season time for my kind of business that time, the phone call after 1-2 seconds , new customer when you finish talk.
It was so sick
nice money
today i need close my business.
This don't work anymore in my country .
WHAT BOAT or BOATS RC you drive ?
pics also is fun see
edit
About durability
My electric boats must belong to one of the toughest in World i think.
Because:
I have this boat LONG TIME.
about 6years ago i drive this my first vaccation day after 3year hard work
i lost everything for 4-6 seconds.
I only had 50% controll of my body, and also my sight was darken alot like 50% i can see only.
This was stress related.
Right there i did drive this Brushless boat maxspeed.
I Crash it very bad.
The hull/deck fly away, also my lipos fly away and almost hit my face one of them.
I fix everything, and run again after one day.
Today i have not stress so much,
i have never got blackouts after this.
Im happy for this.
It was not fun.
I believe the boat run about 40mph atleast when it hit my Bridge.
This was very very horrible crash.
I was like 100% shure there is nothing left anymore when i got back in full controll after 4-6 seconds.
The cool thing is
I only need put little Epoxy, and paint in the nose little.
Lipos was also fine , they land on the beach .
Only one little wood thing broke of,
i have never mind this,
now i will make new in balsa wood, and fix it.
Also i need build better servo holder.
epoxy glue som old rc car servoholder, i have couple over
My friend was there with his Spartan Boat and see all this happen.
He was so chocked .
We both laugh about that boat was so nice anyway after this sick crash before he drive me to Hospital. Check what was wrong with me.
This boat weight alot.
Atleast tripple more weight than spartan trx boat does.
They are pretty much same in size.
This is why my boat is so stabile, you can easy run it in smal waves also very very fast.
The combo works great also.
I have drive this about 150 times
