Nitro Volcanic Splash


 
 
 
The original electric setup for the volcanic splash left my electronics asking for more. The batteries would dump too soon and the speeds were not really ballistic. I knew that with uptodate battery packs and better motors I could make this boat fly. I had a couple of spare .12 Nitro engines that I wasn't using and I decided to pour some power to see how this baby really runs. The woodless hydro flexed way too much for a peppy nitro engine so I got my creative juices flowing and came up with an enclosed radio box that would reinforce the hull at the same time. Note: I did a lot of testing to come up with the final design. The past woes of having to do some creative designing and messing arround with the engine flared up again. Many a time I had to let the project rest and run my trusty fast electric rigger. This time arround I wont bore you with long descriptive sections. A picture is worth a thousand words.
