How to make your own RC boat from scratch! NASBOAT design overview

[@shannonoshea644]

Literally just found the channel, been running and building traditional rc race boats for years and I love the idea of these nasboats ! Be interesting to put one together with a stock zenoah 26 and some trim tabs haha.I usually run flyskys just with a digital screen love them

[@theclevercraftsman]

Yeah I have some zenoahs, I should put one in there and see. My boat from this last year was a Stihl FS250 and those motors really fly for string trimmers! NASBOAT has been a ton of fun!

[@shannonoshea644]

Sorry for the late reply it would fly with a stock 26 Zen! And that they do very good string trimmer engines try stihl hp ultra at 32:1 what my race engine builder uses as most of us do . And a good prop from bonzi sports. It really looks like so much fun ! Maybe I can build one and create a new class to get into

I too would appreciate if some one would explain how the locking collar is used, as @keith talked about. Thanks, Tim

I just scored an old homemade boat from 101-year old man with a weedeater motor in it. Just took it out for a little run.

[@theclevercraftsman]

How did it do?

[@mudcud]

Like you said steering's a big problem especially after your crash into some concrete under the water and it jack's your prop up pretty otherwise after it not running for over 20 years I figure it runs pretty good getting it fixed ASAP

I'm building a nasboat about 36"×12" in diameter,I'm running a 2200kv castle motor and esc. What size propeller do I need to run on a boat this size to get good results 🤔? Thanks!

[@theclevercraftsman]

For what we do with a string trimmer a Prather 270 for example works perfect. I dont have any electric experience.

I live in Nevada, near Reno. Do you have any races on the west coast?

[@keithjohnso3904]

Hi! I made my shaft square but every time's I run my nasboat my whole shaft & prop falls out in the pond :( and I lose all my hardware! Remember kids to put a locking collar between your stuffing tube and your engine Colet. Or your shaft is just going to fall out the end. Smh. Big fan of Nasboat! Keep up the good work! And zip kits. What a great Honest Company! God bless.. Keith from the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

[@theclevercraftsman]

Yes! I should show how that piece goes together exactly

Hello dear friend, I want to ask you why you put the water hose on the exhaust and not on the engine? What is the function? I would greatly appreciate your response.

[@jefftriezenberg3958]

This is great. How do you mount your engines? I have a stihl engine and there are some vertical screws in the bottom but there's a big gap between the screws and the bottom of the engine.

[@theclevercraftsman]

With my stihl I made a spacer to fill that gap between the engine and the boat and then used some long bolts up through the bottom

[@oscarroberto7926]

What kind of motor is this please? And how many CC? How wider you build your boat how slower he is.

[@theclevercraftsman]

The rainbow boat is a 21cc echo weed eater Boat is about 14” wide, runs about 25
