Sure. The wood that was used as the frame for holding the electronics box and motor had been reinforced by me already.
A 45a brushless marine esc and a b36 35 brushless marine motor.
What ESC is it? It says Aquacraft, but, model number, or, at the very least, how many amps it is, would be helpful. Where is the damage under the rudder?
Oops forgot to show that. It is a 45a aquacraft esc.
It is the old tactic radio similar to the slt3 spektrum radio
That looks like bondo, but, if i am wrong and it is fiberglass, then you can try smoothing it and matching it to the bottom of the boat, and then put another thin layer of fiberglass over it. If it is bondo, i honestly have no clue what you can do, except try sanding it smooth and as thin as possible, then covering it with another layer of fiberglass. Honestly though, even though it will be a ton of work, i would try and sand it all off, without damaging the hull, and recoat it in a thin layer of either milled fiberglass or SIG Resin, then after that is done, gel coat it again. The ESC is not programmable in any way, so the only setting you really have is the trim function on the radio itself.
It is fiberglass
That is a type of epoxy right? That sounds like it could do the job. I think I’ll try that out. it keeps calibrating wrong so full throttle is the motor completely stopped and neutral is half throttle. Have any of you heard of a Supervee 27 before? I never had until I got this boat. It was a sweet boat when it came out. I think it is supposed to run dual nickel batteries but not quite sure. Do any of you know what batteries it is supposed to take?
I'm relatively new to rc boats so I had not seen this one but looks to be good quality.
Get a gel coat repair kit ( don't know if you will be able to color-match it ) my mid-size Zonda ran aground after water got in the receiver & I had similar damage. the kit I got had very good instructions on how to complete the repair which was nice as had never done anything like it before.
Ok. The hole is wide enough for the hull to start filling up pretty quick and light goes through it pretty well. I think ill just get some basic epoxy tomorrow and try that out. Is gel coat for finalizing the fix? Plus, what do you recommend for holding the batteries in? Here is a pic of my dilemma with the batteries. I will run dual 7 cell nickel batteries in it so it will need something good.
