Speed boat R/C 1806 Reference

thingiverse

Hi, take a look at my other designs https://www.thingiverse.com/BuiltBrokenGlued/designs Tinkercad designed boat with 2x [JALC Boat Motor mounts](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:707341/makes) *click to link to their file* *Aug 2022 update* After printing in 6 parts I glued the prints together using gorilla glue before using filler to smooth out the bottom and making it water tight with a bit of paint. After testing the boat on our local river I have found that the motor mounts should be kicking up a few degrees. As they are at the moment (inline with the boat) when the speed increases the boat will pitch down at the front into the water. I will make revisions for this as well as drop the motors down a few mm. The frame works well, I had it water tight with the lid I made up using clear plastic and some thin foam around the edges. The boat has not been split down in the files. This will be done as the files are printed. I plan to attach the printed hull and top parts directly to each other then epoxy in supports at the joins. **Idea** Designed as a speed boat with twin motors, this has been designed using the boat shape in Tinkercad for both the hull and the top. **Motors** The rear has been made with cut outs in the hull to fit 2 1806 motors. I chose the [JALC Boat Motor mounts](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:707341/makes) as they go below the water, if I had attached the motors directly to the rear of the hull, a large amount of prop would be out of the water making it inefficient. The props are cut down 4" quad propellers that appear to be quite aggressive. There are no screw holes to mount the motor mounts in case other mounts are used but there is a cable access hole. **Hull/Body** The top cover **Speed boat 5.stl** has a removable top that is held with elastic band or similar, there is a 2mm gap to allow foam or water proofing to be inserted. The top body is permanently secure to the hull. There are no separate compartments in the hull.
