Bought this second hand off another forum as i wanted something todo now i have my hobao hyper 7 buggy finished

Heres the base for the project a Hobbyking Piranha 600 (670mm) that needs some work






And after a strip down and decal removal





The boats going to get repainted after the bad bits are repaired

Spider Cracks in the gel coat on the cowl


Missing gel coat on the cowl edge




Spider cracks on the hull




Got some parts ordered up tonite for a dry build then rip it all back to prep and paint it

cool should go well with that motor in it ive got one in a symelr sized boat running on 3s lipo and she certainly don't hang about

[Flash22]

got a water cooled motor mount and servo mount to go in, tbh i dont like the motor, had the dremmel out yesturday and sorted out the bad bits, is all repaired just got tobe flatted off ready for paint after the fibreglass has cured

[Flash22]

filled and flattted the bad bits today after putting the mounts in last night (still need glassing in)


Now for the expensive bits a new esc and brushless motor when the bank manager lets me, got the paint and stuff so that can be done more pics to follow if anyones intrested

ordered a motor and esc but its over kill imho, stock motor pulls 41a max and is a 2858 2881kv running on a 50 amp esc (piece of tat tho) what i ordered is a 3658 2700kv what pulls 90 amp max and a 180 amp esc  

anyhoo is in primer and the final filling is done, the new mounts are glassed in place too, not sure on the colour(s) yet i have some nice 2k paint in a few colours if not i will get a 1/4 of a litre mixed at the local paint shop
