Suzie-Q

Suzie-Q Vintage semi scale offshore rc boat
A vintage semi scale offshore rc boat from 1965. Original design by Vic Smeed.

• Complete redesigned in cad for cnc cutting
• this boat is easy building a joy to sail and has great looks
• Do not expect flat out speed, but it has great full speed turning capabilities.
• Very easy handling, the complete superstructure comes of to replace batteries or for maintenance
• it can be powered by lowcost brushless systems or even the cheap speed 600 series
• Also low cost shaft and rudder systems
• we used a 1220 kv brushless motor and 3s4000 lipo, plenty of power

Here's another video, this one by James. Thanks James! Very nice build.
