Traxis Hull

[evan ritchie]

Is there a way to strengthen my Traxis hull. It is flexing a lot in rough water.

I have never run an ABS hull before and don't think much of it.

The boat runs well but I don't think it will last.

Even, give it a lawyer of CF inside.

Thanks Keith

The bottom is a bit hard to do as it has a lot of strakes. Would a couple of carbon rod down the sides help? There is a lip on the inside.

Even, put the cf on the inside

Blow up foam does wonders

I agree with the foam. I put it in and works great!

Go very easy on that foam it can distort the shape of the hull and adds wieght.

The ABS hull is not really going to last too long no matter what you do to it. I saw a traxxas v hull buckle in half last year.. It was fast though!! split in half during a turn in rough water.

Be careful with blow up foam. I've seen people not experienced with it. Rip a hole in there hull. From it expanding to much..

Cf inlay is the way to go
