Title: Outrigger Build
Post by: Tarun Joseph on June 05, 2024, 02:30:16 PM
Hello,
Good afternoon all,
I've decided to go ahead and build an outrigger.
I was thinking of a 4s setup as I already have a 4s 5000mah which I use on my car.

I'm searching from where I can get an outrigger kit.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Regards,
Tarun Joseph.

I doubt you'll be able to get a kit. It's not a complicated build, so go ahead with a scratch built

@Tarun Joseph,

Please see this 11 year old thread by one of the original members of this forum:

Forget about the battery. It’s the last thing you need to consider.
Think about the size, plan, materials, motor, prop, prop shaft etc...

Start with a simple project, and don’t let difficulties deter you.
Best wishes.

Iyer sir, Atlas Von Lines is a great build, but not an outrigger. Outriggers have sponsons, normally attached with CF or Al tubes
