LEGO-ish RC RIB Powerboat

[janssnet]

Bit reluctant to post this, since this boat is made of a 3D printed hull, the RIBs are made of insulation tubes, the electronics are all RC parts and the motor is a brushless drone motor.

NEVERTHELESS ..... It looks like a LEGO boat, don't you think?! And it works great!

Happy to share more details if there is interest, happy to remove it, if it's too little LEGO for the forum.

Simple, yet effective and I assume fun to play :) I would be worried though that some of the parts might pop out and be left on the bottom of water, haha. By the way, what about your iWD4 project is it still in development as I didn't see you uploading any longer video about it.

The choice of electronics and the driving motor is great! ;-) 

Lol! I am a big fan of RC Lego creations and this boat looks very playable! Well done!

It sure happened! Got me into the freezing cold water :((

Regarding the iWD4 car ..... it's ready for footage. Had to fix a boat first. Just needed a push to start recording it. Your post surely helps!
