sam your probably going to want better batteries fyi. most 6s setups are hard on batteries due to the amps they tend to pull from what ive seen.

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

Yeah. These are just batteries from my little nephews boat. I put them there to see how much room I have. Definitely getting more mah batteries.

I got it a local granite place. They had piles of scrap granite. It initially cost 30 bucks but I had them cut it to the size I wanted and rounded the edges. The total was about 100 bucks. It’s been great. I also got a couple pieces from a fellow boater.

I have a setup board cut from a hunk of scrap corian that a buddy gave me. Works killer for building and setup. I take it to the pond some times. With a little weight and some clamping you can build almost anything square.

I’m going to use a wire drive setup. What’s a good size wire drive for Q Sport Hydro

 

[Mike Starrett]

Wohlts RC Boats Email him and he'll tell you exactly what you need. Probably .093

 

[RaceMechaniX]

.093 or .098(2.5mm). Unless you can guarantee a perfect bend I would just stick with 3/16" cable.

 

[Wasted wages]

After many years running cables with no issues, and the simplicity and adjustability of cables, I'm not convinced that wire drives are all that... maybe for some, just not me...

Old habits die hard you know....

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

what length x width x thickness ? approx..

36” L
11 1/2” W
1 1/4” Thick

Last week was too hot to work in the garage. This week has been much cooler and was able to get some more done. I fiberglassed the nose which came out great. Gonna need hardware soon.

Are you guys running dual water pick up for your Q Sport Hydros.
