This is one of my most beautiful boats.
It's not only a show-piece, but a great boat to sail as well. Speed is fairly realistic at about 45 km/h; the original reaches up to 125 km/h, so that's fun.

I bought the boat second hand at 2 Brothers RC in Bussum (Netherlands), and it just needs some more building. Only the hull and basic superstructure were finished with the motors and electronics fitted, so it basically was ready to sail. In the mean while. i took it out for some trials.

(Because it was bought second hand, i'm running into several kinds of problems encountered by the first owner. Therefore it may take a while before it really is finished)
I'm know rebuilding it, and replaced the jets for a surface drive prop.
As for the Morors im going to use an Graupner Ultra 3500-6M, to make this Moonraker one of the fastest RC their is.


 

Here is a picture of the motor i'm using now: It's A Graupner Ultra 3500-6M motor.

Working on the hardware setup. All the hardware comes from MTC.
