So here is the beginning of a new build for me, looking to get started on an MTI 60" from Bonzi Sports (former CRC). Do not see many builds out here for this hull in a twin gas configuration so I figured I would post some pics and add some comments as I progress. I am slow builder so please be patient for updates have a full time job and house to take care of. So here is a shopping list of some items that I will be looking at getting:
(2) 29.5 Zenoah (modified) from SS Racing Engines
(2) Speedmaster stingers
Speedmaster 6" rudder
ProModeler Servos
Radiolink Rc6gs v3.
Misc. hardware
exhaust setup (TBD)
Not sure if I will be using clutches and pumps yet. still working out details and getting input from a few of my club members. Now what I want to try and post out here are at least some photos of what the hull looks like during each phase. We usually see a lot of electric configurations and still being a little old school wanted to get this going with gas. Got lots of help when putting this idea together from a few of my club members (Steve Stafiej, Ernie Testani and Scott Tonac) with some insights from Dan and Dean over at Bonzi. Sometimes I find it hard to get a good look at some of these hulls from others that post their builds (becoming harder to find CAT hulls at this size to run multiple gas engines due to electrics starting to dominate the stage) to get that birds eye view on how to place items and get your build rolling. Well I have to say she is a BIG CAT!!!. Some comments now on the hull itself, constructions looks great even the seam lines are non existent. Nothing was warped and it was packaged and protected very, very, well for shipping. Inside the hull there is a nice coating over all the glass that was used and the transom is solid!! I am looking forward to sharing this adventure with you all. A quick shout out to "John Finch", thanks for the discussion we had some time back concerning this project. Wish me luck!!
