satrun motor , rx-tx 2chnl, esc EN1, 9 grm servo.
Material used is sunbord 220rs. for 3x2'
Pepsi sticker from empty pepsi bottel :)
plans got form german website.



all gone well.
its built not exactly as plan decided to give sporty look ...not exact buggy (open air style)

Test run on flat floring was fine. speedy.. we will try on water may be comming weekend..

it happens , also try changing the esc if you have spare before pinpointing the receiver, and how abt a 6 prop instead of 7 , will put less load on the mounts too

Good build Sir. However, is she s little top heavy? I would have preferred a little more beam (width) on the model.

@rcpilotacro
Not from you, Sir.
Dolly Parton is, i think, a nice person,
(if you see her gigs), not one who is big headed.
(I hope thats what top heavy means. I love the Doc in X files and the lady lifeguard in baywatch)
You may have come across another impressive young woman called Michelle Poe Singing
I'm just one of the boys.
Rest on pm or face to face as not relevant to this thread
