RC Airboat/Swamp Boat

thingiverse

I had to build the boat in two sections due to my printer's limited workspace. It still needs to be slightly wider than it is now. After printing the front and back of the vessel, I assembled them together using marine adhesive that transforms into a foam-like substance once dry. I then sanded down any rough edges and applied a very eye-catching pattern with paint. A tower and movable component were added to facilitate mounting the motor on top. I utilized a high-performance brushless electric motor rated at 2216-1400KV, paired with an 8x4E propeller, a 9-gram analog servo, a 40A ESC, and a 3s lithium-polymer battery.
