Fast electric model power boats have long outclassed other boat types in terms of speed, making racing them an increasingly popular pastime. Success in this exciting hobby relies not just on the skill of the boat handler but also on the design and build of the boat. Illustrated with numerous photographs and diagrams showing technical details, this book looks at all aspects of building a model electric power boat, including:
How to choose a model and spot design flaws, especially in molded hulls, and how to repair many of those faults.
Brushed and brushless motors, and their speed controllers, drive systems, and propellers.
Guidance on rechargeable cells and the correct chargers, and safety tips for lithium polymer cells.
Tips on construction and how to set up a boat for racing.
Detailed instructions for building a wooden three-point outrigger hydroplane.
Radio systems, wiring, and connectors.
While the emphasis of this book is on performance for competition use, beginners and recreational boaters are well catered for as many of the chapters start from first principles, rather than assuming a high level of initial competence. It covers all aspects of fast electric boating, from hull design right through to racing at world championships and setting speed records. Therefore, whether you are looking to compete or operate fast electric power boats as a hobby, it is a must-have addition to your library.
