Gimp's 37" Fighter Cat Daytona Hull is being built by the one and only Tiqueman! FC Daytona Hull (FG) Carbon Fiber reinforcement T-180 ESC Leopard 4074 2200kV Running on 4s to start (will try 5s or 6s setups next year) FC 3/16" Strut FC 115mm Rudder (offset) mounted to transom .187" Flex Water cooled carbon fiber motor mount Carbon fiber battery trays Goal is to be consistent 50-60mph range. Haven't decided on paint yet. Thinking either a Ford GT theme or Kevin Harvick Budweiser NASCAR theme... |

Scott posted 2 pics of my hull before he starts. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...1003124650.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...1003124752.jpg The 4s setup will probably be pretty temporary, it's just what I have now. I would like to try a 1800kV setup on 5s so I can at least use half of my batteries lol. The Ford GT theme is getting a lot of feedback, may have to go that direction. I guess there's already enough Bud boats lol. I have 4 color choices in mind.... blue/white (maybe even silver) http://www.fastestlaps.com/photos/Fo...d2f7397bd3.jpg white/blue http://www.automotivesinsights.com/w.../ford-gt-1.jpg silver/black http://blog.autoshopper.com/photos/2...dGT_SILVER.jpg heritage blue/orange http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/artic...t_heritage.jpg |
how bout either black with fire engine red stripes or red with black stripes? |
Not a huge fan of red to be honest. I think I'm definetly going with the GT40 Heritage theme. I'm going to get some GT37 and #6 decals made as well :mrgreen: |
ive got some gulf stickers if you want them. shipping and there yours. 2.25" diameter (.44c letter?) |

they are done by Bowtie here on the forum. the are printed on white and waterproof. i dont have any pics but they are this logo. you just cut on the outline and your golden. the white background completes the logo so paint doesnt show threw. http://www.cotswoldairport.com/UserF...20Logo%201.jpg can you rehost the hull pics? they are not showing up for me in firefox. all the GT40 pics show up though. |

I'm definitely going with the GT40 Heritage Blue and Epic Orange theme (Gulf race car of the 60's). It's getting the Gulf, #6, and custom FORD GT37 stripes. I'm so excited for this boat lol :ror: |

You beat me to the GT37 idea, so I call dibs on FC370. :ror: |

One idea was to do the Motion Marine theme but as GT370 or GT37. Right now I'm experimenting with tape to nail down a look. I added some flat black and silver tape stripes to the ugly red and it's looking pretty good. I just can't decide if I want a simple paint scheme like the GT430 or something more complicated like Aquamania. |

My build got started today and should be done by the end of the week! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...9/P1011880.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...9/P1011881.jpg First layer done http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...1025124620.jpg |
That looks sweet! It should be bullet-proof! Too bad it will be hidden though. Can't wait to see it in action soon. "thumbsup" |
