RE: PT Boat Jet Drive Conversion
Thanks to both of you for the replies. I'll keep my eyes peeled on eBay. Pete: Although not what I was thinking of, those PBR hulls may provide a better match. I can see from a cursory search that its going to be harder to find a PBR hull than a PT hull though :). Anyways thanks for the input I will look into that.

PT Boat Jet Drive Conversion
Hi all, As you will soon be able to tell I am a rube in the world of scale boating, but have assembled a few smaller speedy electrics over the last little while. Basically my situation is this. I blindly bought two KMB 28-mm jet drives a couple weeks ago mainly because I had this vision of a dual jet drive brushless setup. So then I start looking into PT boats and love the look and think that because they're fairly shallow hulls and were meant for shallow water in RL, they would fit pretty nicely with the jet drives. So now I'm looking at hulls, and I am wondering if this would be a good candidate to buy one of the Lindberg 1/32 scale hulls for about 100 bucks or so and then convert it over to my setup? Any other suggestions are welcomenot too sure about building it myself as I basically have zero experience so would likely want something assembled that I could just modify to suit my needs. Thanks in advance for the input. P

RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread
Hi All, Just ordered two KMB 28mm jet drives, always had an interest in building a dual jet hull. Any suggestions on a suitable hull? Interested in something that is widely available, even through HK is fine just nothing caught my eye. Any suggestions towards motor/batt combos would be much appreciated as well. Thinking a low kV motor with a higher cell count LiPo... Thanks, P

RE: Unofficial
Hi all, Rookie modder here and the size of this thread is a bit daunting. Wondering if anybody can recommend a brushless build list that has worked for them in the Tear Into (or a page of this thread that has similar info). Thanks in advance P
