ML RSX380 OUTRIGGER_MAIDEN WINTER RUN

I've maidened the RSX380! Took it for a short run in the Hot Pond, the lake is still frozen...

Beautiful boat man!

[@BWWGL9]

By the time you get that TUNED, she should be in the mid-70's. What are you using for ELECTRONICS & MOTOR ?

[@marksrctime8331]

Did you buy the hatch hold downs ??? and where did you buy them ???

[@chilly7261]

Yes. I bought them from offshoreelectrics.com

Hey sam how wide is the hull there's a lack of 45 and up riggers except gas out there you think a 45 nitro wood fit comfy in there I emailed Mike but don't want to bother him thanks

[@chilly7261]

It's 4-1/4" outside measurement, with 1/8" walls. So it measures 4" on the inside. It measures 3" at the highest point, not counting the canopy...

[@StrBADCyperIgwt]

All fine until the fishing line wraps up in the prop 🥴

[@jjrotogeek]

Very cool brother. 🤘🤘🤘 need to get out and do come maidens maself

[@chilly7261]

Thank you. So you did some new builds this winter? It's still early weather wise...

[@jjrotogeek]

Sam Hallstrom yes. I’ve built 2 riggers and a couple hydros. Weather is perking up now, so no excuses!!! I’ve done some build overviews of the boats on my channel. Where ya from

[@jjrotogeek]

Sam Hallstrom ahhhh Nevermind!!! Didn’t realize u were the ul19 hacker in Wisconsin lol. I’m from northern indiana originally. Your rigger looks great

[@chilly7261]

Haha! Yeah, I'm that guy. The fraud. Your ice should be out I suppose. Time to get them wet...

[@jjrotogeek]

Sam Hallstrom lol the fraud. Don’t think so. I think you’ve done a hell of a job on that ul19 project. Beats scrapping the hull. Trust me, I’ve done my fair share of odd mods

[@SelenaI.]

what are the cables taped to sponson tubes?

[@chilly7261]

Safety cables to keep the sponsons attached to the hull in case I break a carbon fiber boom tube. The hull would sink without the sponsons attached.

[@arnoldchildress8053]

Nice looking boat and all but it's too damn cold

[@chilly7261]

Thanks. You're telling me? Haha! Agree 100%...

[@noeltampos1786]

What is the diameter of boat ? Thanks

[@chilly7261]

Length is 38 inches from the sponson tips to the transom. Width to the outside of the sponsons is 24 inches...

[@noeltampos1786]

How about the body of the boat ? Thanks again

[@chilly7261]

Not a problem at all. The tub is 36 inches long and 4-1/4 inches wide.

[@RBAERO]

Nice. What eletronics you using in the RSX380?

[@chilly7261]

Spektrum SR6000T receiver, Savox SA-1231DG rudder servo, Leopard 4092/1390KV motor, ZTW Seal 200 amp ESC running on two 4S Optipower 4000 mAh lipos in series, so it's an 8S setup...

[@edwincordero8]

I am really happy for your success. Too much epoxy, glue, wood sanding and fine measurements were worth it. Now your fine speed tunings come next for those 60mph's. Congrats.

[@chilly7261]

Thank you very much. It was very enjoyable to build. And rewarding to run it for the first time. I have a lot of tuning and learning about a rigger in front of me. That was a bit sketchy doing the maiden run in that Hot Pond for a couple of reasons. One being I wasn't going in the water to recover it. I also didn't want to run it onto the ice...Cheers!
