This Boat Hull was bought to carry a Turbine as propulsion, which could not be realized due to stability propblems.... the hull got lost in the "BIG BOX", but in the same Scratch-Box, there was a 43gr watercooled 3000kv/300W motor from HK. Other Things like Rudder, Turn-Fins, etc. also soon were found in the Scratch box...
Problem was a fitting Motor Mount, Drive Shaft and axle, which were found in Australia. By the time ordering the Motor-Mount from Australia, it was sold out already, reazon why i had to chop down a Motor Mount from HK. Certainly i will use the 3mm 195mm Shaft /150mm Tube from Australia and a 30amp watercooled HK ESC. Prop should be 27-29mm, P1.4, battery Shoud be 3s x 1500mah.
Hopefully, my set-up helps undicided builders, rgds, manfred

First, If U want to stick decals, mix 500ml battery water 1-2 teaspoons of Baby-Shampoo into a sprayer, clean surface well with glass Cleaner or Mineral Spirit: once dry again, deploy decal and mist area to stick on on the boat from 1,5 to 2 feet of distance, mist (Not Wet, just "MIST") the sticky side of the decal al well out of the same distance.!
Now place the Decal were You want to have it, "float" it into it's final position: IF YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH THE POSITION, press it down in the center of the Decal with one of Your fingers, then start squeezing excess water out from the center to the corners. You can Use Your Fingers, but an old-fashioned also works fine....

I received this little hull today and I've got to say what a stunner! if they bring them to the UK warehouse I might have to have another, but with a normal prop set up.
What's happening to this one I hear you ask?
NQD jetdrive and the open ocean!
That'll test the strength of this beautifully moulded hull.
Even comes with the latch which I'll probably replace for something rust proof, and a little lexan cover for the hatch to reduce leakage.
A foam or silicon seal is still a wise addition.
A lot of the youtube videos people seem to be far overpowering this little hull, probably best with the equivalent to standard 380 power and a couple of cells for a speedy setup if not mental.

It's good, why? Beacuse it is free, but even you get it with free, you need a lot of work to let it get into water.
