grantdavis28 8 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) ok so anyone who read my post in the showroom might have come across me talking sh*t about how i was going to build an rc boat. link to my thread: http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....mp;#entry218021 many people who i have told have doubted me. but im here to prove them wrong. this video was filmed yesterday in a small pond in pukekohe. we did break a prop shaft.... you will see i keep checking if there is anything caught on the prop. we couldnt work out y it was going slow. basically in the simplest way to explain it the prop shaft expanded and exploded. we have found the issue so it will be up and raining in no time!!! anyway all you want to see is the video so here it is: http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=Edr27wtgc4I this hull is a test hull we are designing and planning a carbon fiber hull that will be a sh*t load lighter!!!
