The monitors of the wheelhouse is a copy of the catalog of FURUNO. I searched the position displayed on the GPS. That was a joke of FURUNO. The radar and the fishery group finder are illuminated by LED.
The color of the hull is the Grand Prix white. The bottom is blue and the deck is intermediate blue.

I exchanged the motor of my boat. New motor was kv1270 ,32A. That led to the excellent result. The speed hardly changed but power consumption decreased. The rudder was as sensitive as ever.

The wheelhouse of my lobster boat was completed. The monitors and navigation lights are turned on by 3 position switch of TX. I glued two micro switches on the small servo by CA. First the radar and fishfinder monitors light up, then the navigation lights light up. The jerry can and fire extinguisher are accessories of 4WD car. The skylight of the cabin is freely fixable by magnet. I noticed the thing without the antenna of GPS. That is a very small mushroom. I made the rudder still smaller. That became very poor-looking.

I found the good crew. He is 1/12 Han Solo. I disarmed him and colored. He was screwed to an aluminum plate. My lobster boat has a high floor so he can't enter the wheelhouse without bending over.
I was satisfied with the speed of my lobster boat. I named BAD CAT on my lobster boat. I stuck the sticker of the picture in which BAD CAT has trampled Rat Fink on the stern. I like BADCAT and Rat Fink.

My lobster boat was completed.
However, it is now a period of self-restraint due for the covid-19.
The club's Home pond is digging and has no water.
The usual pool is repairing leaks until autumn.

Great job! I have a 1/10 lobster boat I'm trying to figure out out a motor esc combo for. Don't really know anything about what to get without burning one or the other out.

My BAD CAT is very fast. I decided to give her an engine sound. I have a sound simulator for RC Car. It has 57 built-in engine sounds. The American V8 would be a good choice for my BAD CAT.
At first I chose the Daytona Cobra sound. But the sound was too rough. I changed it to a Shelby GT350. The high-revving sound was smooth and good.
The speaker was a bit heavy, so I wanted to put it on its stern. Because it seemed that the wiring was troublesome, I installed the speaker in the general-purpose space in a cabin.
