Good run brother. Im actually doing an slr maiden either today or tomorrow as well!

[@twistedliquidrcboats]

@jjrotogeek, Thank you 🙏 sir. It’s gone from a pile of wood to a running boat. I got the running reliability down and nothing vibrated apart. Just gotta make it run good. I’ll keep an eye for your video. Hope all is good sir. Take care.

Well she seems to run pretty flat so thats a great start. Engine seems very responsive also...

[@twistedliquidrcboats]

@N2SRC Thank you 🙏 for your continued channel support. I truly appreciate it. This was only the second run for the Zippkits SLR Missile Thunderboat I built here on the channel. I was testing today to see if I had a reliable boat built. I wasn’t concerned with speed and more interested in having a boat that wouldn’t vibrate apart. Lol. There’s a lot of wood epoxied together here. You’ll never know how strongly until ya use it. With more pond time, which is all I need, I promise ya this boat will get faster. You are correct, I’m at a good starting point. Thanks for watching again, take care and HGD.

It was flat and very slow...

[@twistedliquidrcboats]

@andrestewart7010 , Thank you 🙏 for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it. It drives the KZbin algorithm to my channel. Next thing I’d like to say is this is only the second time this boat has ever ran since finishing its build here on the channel. I was testing the reliability of the set up I have built into the boat. You give me 10 honest hours at the pond running this boat and I promise ya it will get faster. No replacement for experience. The main thing in today’s run was nothing vibrated apart. All the epoxy joins of wood held up. No nuts or bolts fell off. The boat worked and ran on its second run out. After completely building this boat that’s success to me. I’m sorry if the boat didn’t meet your expectations, it meet mine and that’s what matters. You keep watching and you’ll see this boat get faster and better each time I run it. Take care and HGD.

@twistedliquidrcboats I'll keep looking and I did look at all the time you took in the build as you did it thxs for the good job in your build....

[@twistedliquidrcboats]

@andrestewart7010 Just let me get more run time on the boat. Nothing vibrated apart yesterday with continuous use. Once I tune it, and prop test it more it will get faster. The point of yesterday’s video was to show the progression to that point. Thanks again sir. There’s more coming. I promise.
