As always, I'm terrible at documenting builds...but here is the maiden of my scratch built boat. I don't know what style of boat this is but I liked the style so I started building. I'll make get a bit of video that gives an overview of the boat.
This test run was cut a bit short because the 25amp esc got so hot that the heat sink came loose from the esc. I found this out when I brought the boat in to check the temperatures of the motor and esc. The motor was only slightly warm but the esc was quite hot, lol. I have a spare 40amp esc that I'll put in the boat and we'll give it a run.
I decided to build a boat so that I could run with Dad and his boats. I was thinking the same thing that I think about multiple planes in the air...multiple boats in the water would be more fun.
So, here's a bit of video from todays test run...
