self-lift works now, you managed to fix it and it moves pretty fast you will definitely force it more

[@paulcooper7162]

Hi Apostol 😊👍 I think speed is about right for a plastic hull I'm just waiting on another motor to fit will a smaller propeller run on 6s

Love the colour, looking at hulls now for my project boat, thinking of painting it in a 2pack automotive paint, ferrari rosso red with black stripes. I can't wait!

[@paulcooper7162]

Colour your choosing has to be better than pink,,this one's very pink

[@Fre2dy]

Hello friend, really nice this pink boat, cool the automatic flip

[@paulcooper7162]

Hi there 😊 Pink oh yes it lovely haha.I agree it's great to have it flip as the stock boat failed to self right

[@stevesballisticrc8770]

Its faster than I thought it would be. Looks like it could use some adjustment to keep it on the water a little better. 👍

[@paulcooper7162]

😊👍your right,I've mounted the motor back a bit so the battery can fit without hitting the motor,I only used a 1500mah lipo so needs a bigger one to counter balance I think it does okay got pretty churned up out there the boat has no fins or trim tabs 😊👍

[@ducatikid58]

Love this, just bought one myself, it’s my first boat. I’ll be looking to upgrade it soon. What other parts did you change, I’d be looking at using 4S batteries probably as I have them already

[@paulcooper7162]

Hi definitely changed the strut and cable to 4mm and found best 6s 1800mah lipo,120A esc and mitoot 3216 2200kv outrunner motor,35mm TFL 1.9p prop

@@paulcooper7162 great thanks for the reply Paul. Just new to these, is there a reason you went out runner and not in runner?

@@ducatikid58 Outrunner makes the boat self right easily as the stock motor struggles

[@ducatikid58]

@@paulcooper7162 can I just ask Paul, does the new motor mount to the existing motor/ steering servo mount? Just looking at mine now and I can see 4 holes a bit further back, does that take a new mount? Lee

[@paulcooper7162]

@@ducatikid58 Yes best to make a new motor mount and fit the motor back a bit and mount the battery up front center and fit the esc on the left side when looking from behind if this is your first attempt I wouldn't ty it, Vector SR80 Oro is way better and easy to upgrade

[@strexttp]

It's very good and it has nice design

[@paulcooper7162]

Hi 😊 I think so too amazing for its size but needs heavier lipo I'm thinking

[@maxxm.108]

Ooo... Any damage? Is this a sr80 motor? Better hull than sr48?

[@paulcooper7162]

Hi 😊battery came loose after that last flip.Wee bit better than sr48 and Feilun FTO11.Motor from SR80 the black hull model

@@paulcooper7162 Excellent!👍🙂 When will we see your zonde in action?😁

[@paulcooper7162]

@@maxxm.108 Thanks 😊 soon I just received the epoxy resin and cloth to reinforce just very lightly up side front so as not to upset the balance,1 layer of weaved fiberglass cloth

[@maxxm.108]

@@paulcooper7162 Hope you show us how you strengthen the front of your zonda. A very useful modification. I can see that many owners of this boat strengthen its front 👍🙂

[@paulcooper7162]

@@maxxm.108 😊 I will try vid of it but really it's hard as I need to use both hands,I paint the resin on when it's nearly time to go off and then lay the dry cloth on top and the paint more resin on and then try scrape the excess resin off,the lighter the stronger I've been told

[@oscarstby2416]

How big is the original motor? and can the stock one deal with 4s or do you need to change the ESC?

[@paulcooper7162]

About 30mn original motor,ESC and motor ,cable are weak,I'd fit a 2200kv mitoot motor,see my Vector SR65 build

[@CARMELOGUARRASI]

Wow nice boat

[@paulcooper7162]

Thanks Carmelo 😊👍 .The pink is a shocker but the hull is a good design

[@bigblueoofheadd2210]

Did you change anything or is it stock?

[@paulcooper7162]

Hi 😊👍 I changed everything and put ESC on the side and battery in the center also flex cable motor ESC and repositioned the motor mount back and bigger servo and rudder

[@bigblueoofheadd2210]

@@paulcooper7162 ok nice, does the flip function still work? And can the stock motor handle 4-5s without being to warm? I’m planning on changing esc for higher top speed
