Back at it again! Bye bye zenoah power. hello lipo
So about a year ago I bought the catamaran hull from my cousin. I bought it dirt cheap.(Taco bell and mtn dew cheap) so I doesn't own me anything so I held on to it. Finally I've decided to do something with it.
This is what it looked like when I first got it
This is what it looks like today.
Its a Hydra Sport hull. I was originally powered by a gas weed Wacker engine. But I've decided to convert it to electric due to the fact that I have extra electronics just lying around.
The first bit of work that needed to be done was to remove the old mangled drive shaft.
These are the pictures of after I cut the shaft housing out with my Dremel tool.
Photos of test fitting the new 5mm driveshaft.
Test fitting motor plate soon. I opted to go with a 550 size motor which I have a velineon system that I'll be putting in this. I'm not sure where the motor should be. Worried about to much wait in the rear.
This is the plate I got
Also purchased the rudder system, driveshaft, and motor mount from EBay. I'll try to find links and prices asap.
Sorry for the photos and the quality.
Just moved and haven't set up my RC bench yet. All photos were taken with my Droid Maxx.

How long is this hull, are you talk a brushless system from a slash?

I personally would not waste the time or money on that motor, its way to small for that hull.
You need something like this:

It the upgrade for the spartan, thats around the same size, yours might weigh more. The traxxas system might be ok in something like their blast.

That hull never had a gas engine in it as that's a nitro engine motor mount.
The brass tube has to be much longer as it has to go all the way to the strut.
It's going to need a much bigger motor. Go into the OSE forum site and ask them what it'll need.
The dual rudder setup is overkill.
