Aluminium radio controlled offshore powerboat. Based on the Mystic C5000 design. Fabricated from 2mm aluminium sheet. 0:00 Build. 1:32 Sea trial one on 4s. 4:23 Sea trial two on 4s. 8:48 Sea trial three on 8s.
I built that same boat with that pdf file out of all wood. I got it to 72mph then I hit a stick that I didn't see and that was it. I got all electronics back and were still good.not so much for the wooden hull. Nice build. Try 2 blade props for higher end speed. 3 blades are for acceleration not for all out speed.
Yes it is a great hull design , and an enjoyable build . Hopefully in the near future the chase boat we are restoring will be ready and we will start experimenting with this model more. Thanks for your input.
Hi, the ESC's are 240amp each. At the end of this video the boat was running 8s per side. The boat is more in it's element in one of my other videos " open water run" . Thanks for watching and commenting .
Only wondering...why make this? There are Mystic cat's available from a few manufacturers (Radtek, MHZ, Central RC), in fiberglass, carbon fiber, and carbon-Kevlar, between 40 and 96 inches in length, that will hit well over 100mph with the proper electronics (Scorpion, Lehner, Castle, NEU, Flier, Swordfish, MGM, Schulze). Why did you power a hull this size with Leopard and Turnigy electronics? What were the ESC and motor temp's after your test runs? Are those 0.187 flex shafts? Was this simply a proof of concept for some future project you have in mind, or were you able to build this boat for under $2,000 USD? Typically a build like this would be closer to $4,000-$5,000, on a budget, and the speeds you should expect would be no less than 80mph with a quality hull like HPR/MHZ/Radtek (CRC Mystic runs pretty wet, so not as fast as the others).
Absolutely killer boat it's unreal haha hopefully it gets sorted as it has so much potential i haven't really seen anything like it in the hobby nice job, does run better on 8s but super wet as in the bow digs into the water all i can suggest as it's a aluminium hull and i am only used to fibreglass but it should make a difference is to raise the drives more and increase the rudder angle back if you can and move what you can closer to the stern and higher lift props, can't wait too see the boat come along but considering it's the first i can't believe how well it went
Honestly 4 4s packs in parallel isn’t very high for a boat this large. I would like to think you could run 10s to 12s on each side. I would try running two 6s 6000 with a high C rating in Series on EACH side and try raising the strut acouple MM and I bet you will be in the 100mph club! But that’s just a suggestion, you welds are looking very nice, it’s not as easy as everyone thinks to get a nice water proof tig weld after grinding them smooth!
Great build. My 2 cent, programme the esc with 100% endpoint. Then dial it back to 50% or less to get a baseline to plane off. Then increase as needed, it will double your run time
Thanks! There are a few changes that I will post in a video when they are done . Will include as much data as possible. Run times, planning speed etc .
Wonderful engineering, but for the rest, the electronic parts & components.... Uuuu🤔hhhhmmmmmmmmm.... 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 Condivido, nei fatti, appieno con il commento del mio connazionale. Ed anche di altri esperti del settore. (presenti qui fra i commenti....) 😌 😌 😌 😌 😇😉😉
Thanks. The ESCs we used have brass tubes running through the middle with no external heat sink to mount to the hull. But its possible that car type ESCs would have worked with the aluminium hull.
Hopefully in the Not to far off future but we still need some more footage . Currently all spare time has been spent working on the rx scarab. Thanks for watching and the comment.
How much does it weigh?? My first offshore cat was an Aeromarine 42(I thought) with 2 CMB.90 engines. Problem was, it was a poorly done copy of an Aeromarine Laminates hull layed-up 3 to 4 times too thick. Weighed about 25lbs and was a slug even with over 10 hp of power. I got my tail kicked by boats with a single smaller engine. Weight is everything in modeling. That would make a great model to make a mold with and lay it up light.

very nice work, can we know the weight of the beast and then its size pls
Get 200 amp esc for each motor and 2 4s in series

It's a beautiful creature. I think that this catamaran need of 12s and will be simply perfect. Stay fast. Sebastiano from Italy

Thanks. Have made a few minor changes including raising the drives and some weight distribution adjustments, should have a new video up soon .
@@Nospigyour welcome and im always happy to help people in the hobby and sweet sounds good i can't wait to check it out

Sweet boat!!! You could heat sink the ESCs to the hull and I bet they would stay super cool!
Thanks. The ESCs we used have brass tubes running through the middle with no external heat sink to mount to the hull. But its possible that car type ESCs would have worked with the aluminium hull.
I commend you for your wonderful idea and craftsmanship.I also want to make it with aluminum.😄
Awesome build congrats looks great , boats running a bit wet but that's just a strut adjustment as I'm sure you know...
Amazing build I I probably go higher than 8s beautiful boat good luck.
Wonderful build and workmanship. I think the teflon issue was due to a vibration. You can hear it vibrating badly wheb you went to the higher voltage.
Awesome work. Looking forward to the new batteries. How fast do you think currently?
Absolutely no idea.. Yet. Will do a speed run with GPS for the next video.
Dude! That's badass!
Any new content on this boat?
Hopefully in the Not to far off future but we still need some more footage . Currently all spare time has been spent working on the rx scarab.

It's about 16kg without batteries so not that light.
G'day mate wow what a beautiful boat It will be awesome when you get it sorted 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks for showing how to build this hull. How thick is the aluminium?
2mm
Two new videos out now
where did you find blue print for stringers and ribs to design hull?
Searched mystic c5000 plans. Had to modify and simplify to make it easier with metal.
I used the exact plans to build my boat!
Can you send it to me im planning to build
What an obnoxious bit of noise pollution to ruin the tranquility of whomever lives in that (formerly) pastoral setting.
