FE Sneak peak, NEU powered Villain

Well.... here is my first attempt of a FE tunnel boat, I dont really have a clue about what im doing, but its been fairly easy with a little research and a lot of help from others. I am still waiting on a cowling from Australia (thanks to Kris Flynn), an ESC, motor mounting plate and shaft collet from FFE (thanks to the Fullers) and eventually some M1 A123 cells (thanks to Capt Ron ). Of course, I still have a fair amount of work to do with molding in the cowl to become water tight, but once everything gets here, it can be finished in a few afternoons. One thing I am SURE about is this hull has been a proven RACER, as its made about a millions laps around the pond in the last few years as a MOD and SPORT nitro boat. Because of all of those laps, I decided to rebuild the transom area due to oil and fuel soaking into the exsting transom. The new Transom sports a carbon fiber rear plate and should provide pleanty of support for the newly aquired NEU 1512 2D Brushless motor. The stock radio box was cut off and sanded flat on the top deck, and the steering servo has been moved to the Center of Gravity. I will wait until I have all of the electronics to position everything else.
