why are you using 120amps esc ...80 amps will do ...it is good to be on the safer side but using a 120 amps esc is not requied ...BTW this will be a powerful boat..

@anwar
could you please merge this post with the "boat made of sun board" post...
opened a new post by mistake

anwar · March 17, 2011, 12:26:24 AM

Merging...

BTW, terribly poor choice of topic name

Requesting everyone not to put "how are you today" or "it is me again" or things like that as topic names for your RC model related threads

@k@sh · March 20, 2011, 03:20:14 PM

finally done with the painting

Did you make this or buy it readymade from a shop?

Fantastic!

Fantastic!

Some serious competition for HK Hull Boats!
Kudos Aakash!! All the best for the contest ahead!

Akshayb · March 21, 2011, 01:22:09 PM

Well Made Akash

And the red colour is looking gorgeous.

atul_pg · March 21, 2011, 01:28:03 PM

Amazing..One of the best build so far..

Sb_Maharana · March 22, 2011, 01:31:08 AM

Boat building culture in India is progressing slowly but steadily.

And Akash if it is your first boat then lots more things can be expected from you.
At the same time we should not forget Ghanshyam – He is also equally talented guy.

rcpilotacro · March 22, 2011, 06:19:34 AM

absolutely, i agree with Maharana, some boat makers are not perturbed, they take 3-4 months to make a hull, they keep watching it, feel good, and never finish it. whatever be the pressure boat builders are at not in any hurry at all.

VC · March 22, 2011, 11:21:15 AM

Gusty, my friend, thats hitting the nail SQUARE on the head!

Ghanshyam · March 24, 2011, 01:47:25 PM

Nice work Akash...

Will meet up next month when i am in Bangalore.

Thanks a lot Maharana sir , And Augustinev

ya the boat building process is very slow as the parts to make it run are to be accurate and are hard to find and fabricates so it takes lot of time.......

N we actually won the competition after a fight with the judges for a wrong decesion of their their's
N oh yeah this is our first trial of the boat :)iq

Sb_Maharana · April 16, 2011, 02:07:18 PM

@ akash:
Congrats Akash winning the competition, and it is more than a trial.

@ Ghanshyam:
You are right, for some people 48 hours mean 17 days and when you are supposed to work with them - a fortnight work always takes 3 to 4 months.

@ Augustinev
I think your client got the right answer at the very right place.

@k@sh · April 16, 2011, 03:51:34 PM

thanks a lot for the replies everybody...
the boat is now going to be re-painted...
will post the pics shortly...

@k@sh · April 16, 2011, 03:53:13 PM
