Fast Electrics Pages

This page and the next one are dedicated to the fast electric boat scene.  This is something that I have personally become interested in and so I decided to make a little space on the site to cover it. Myself and fellow club member Paul are currently building a number of these boats and intend to have a go at racing them this summer.

The pictures above show the first fast electric boat I ever built.  It was really just a fun boat rather than a proper fast electric.  The hull was purchased from a trade show for £2.00 and I made everything else.  The deck and superstructure were made from plasti-card while the wing was formed from balsa.  It was powered by a 540 3 pole motor and a 7.2v 1700ma nicad pack. It performed reasonably well but wasn't very quick

Below are a selection of pictures taken at Bury or Horwich.  Unfortunately I don't have all the details of these pictures but I will add information where possible.
