That is my re-designed Nikko boat. As you can see, its totally white and that bugs me. I am trying to make some sort of pattern, and its going nowhere right now. I am wondering if anyone out there could give me any sort of hand. I like Randy's (WILDMAN) design he has on his Liberator (I bet JW and Gus know who I mean here) design and would love something like that. The rest of the hull is a appleish red for anyone who is interested. I appreciate anything. Thanks in advance....

Here are some pictures of the boats original design http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif I have changed the electronics from my RC 42' Tiger, so it should go pretty good, so it has to look good http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif

Thanks Bro! http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif (Sound familiar? http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif) It just looks plain right now. Once I get that one all jazzed and ready to go, I am looking into the MegaTech Caribbean Cruiser, if anyone has heard of it. IT supposidly does 25 MPH. Anyone have anything to say? http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/eyes.gif I know I can't be the only one that is interested in this stuff. Yes mine may be simple compared to your gas and stuff, but I am not good at that stuff, so I get simple, yet fast stuff.

The fully assembled and ready-to-race Caribbean Cruiser is a 30-inch long, twin-motor, electric ocean racer loaded with full-race features from stem to stern. Every design feature found on this model was put there for one reason-to make it go faster!

We started with a modified V hull design featuring multiple planing strakes for breaking up water surface tension. Surface tension is the biggest drag-causing factor on any race boat, and the Caribbean Cruiser's planing strakes are placed at several points on the hull's bottom to defeat this speed-robbing phenomenon. As a result-this boat literally flies over the water's surface.

Motivating this hull are twin 550 motors bolted up to a 1:1.7 drive-ratio transmission, which in turn drives a single heavy-duty main shaft and large surface-drive prop (no toy-like under-water drive found here). Surface-drive setups are the pinnacle racing technology all the way. They are also the mechanism responsible for creating those huge rooster tails so closely associated with competition boat racing, and guaranteed to excite any onlookers.

Mounted off the transom is a "strutter-design" rudder control. Again, a feature only found on racing boats. Rounding out this competition package is the copper plumbed, (not aluminum) "Aqua-Ram™" forced-water cooling system. This system features water-jacketing around the commutator ends of the twin motors keeping things cool and running at optimum output efficiency. Exiting cooling water can be seen streaming out of the model's portside freeboard-very cool. Caribbean Cruiser also comes with installed High performance competition speed control and pistol-grip radio.

Thanks Kip. Any Checkmate designs? I'd love to have a R/C Pulsare with a replica ProMax out back http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif Let me know what you find... http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

P.S. To anyone, I have 2-3 R/C electric motors if anyone is interested. 2 of them are pretty small but worked good, and one is my big one that was in my Viper. Let me know if your interested, or else they are going up on Ebay. Chris.Ellard9@sympatico.ca

If you had a model Pulsare model, this would be a perfect motor for it. You should ask Gary there if he could make a Pulsare and for how much http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif I probably have the $. My e-mail is above...
