Getting there now !

around half throttle Battery's need to go forward
https://youtu.be/x8B3Dnb9daQhttps://youtu.be/vrhAQodjaNg
need to move batterys forward a bit
30.09.18

01.10.18
runs much better with battery's moved forward have
now
relocated esc
"still awaiting props "
hull now has a epoxy skinned bottom need to finish the top.also now has separate 800 mah 2s lipo & bec to power rx alone
water tight storage box big enough for battery bec & rx
octura x448 should be here today with some carbon props also
448s way more power better that the 452 got a 445on its way
started wet sanding epoxy whilst waiting
06.10.18
x445 go s good i had pulled the strut off to add some heatshrink over the stuffing tube and strut ..no more water leaks ..
i put strut back on but not straight and had no tools with me
glad to say no esc cuts on the 180amp sea king this time round
only disappointment so far is run time of 5-7 ish mins depending on throttle sucks a little
but it sounds so awesome!
I need many more or bigger battery's if you can help please do get in touch 5000+ mah with at least 60 -120c
