It can be purchased from here http://www.bizingo.com/m/renegade%20riggers/ Here are some specs 400 outrunner Castle Phoenix 25 Esc 3 cell Lipo Hitec Hs55 servo full Octura Hardware heres my progress so far  Will end up looking like this when finished  and heres a vid http://media.putfile.com/Renegade-rough-water-mods I'm hoping to have it running by the weekend. So what do ya think so far? |

Heck yeah! Should be fun. You'd think we'd be working on boats during the winter so they're ready for spring/summer.  |

the water thing is the only thing stopping me from getting one. you can always run a offshore boat in calm water but the same need not apply backwards for boats with no deadrise. verycool, not my style but who doesn't like speed good to see more boats on this site |

Well 3 days later I finally got the camera back  Well here she is, she's ready to hit the water(hoping to go tomorrow). I still need to do some minor finishing things. For my first wood boat I'm very happy at the way it came out.    |
