Custom/Hybrid First AM Hull Footrocket Build

[Matt_E]

You need the Rickter RRP pole bracket. What you have is the SJ RRP pole bracket.
You can make that one work by hacking off the sides.

Thanks Matt, I suppose It would work just need to make some new mounting holes to lock it down

I ran into the same issue with mine, I ordered the RRP bracket, not realizing there's a difference. It would be easy enough to do what Matt_E said and hack off the sides, but I returned mine and got the Rickter bracket. If you have Facebook, you can go on Stanton High's page and look through his photos, he has photos from his Footrocket build. He has a couple pics of how he had to cut the ears off his RRP bracket.

Got it, thanks guys. I trimmed it down and made some new mounting holes. With the pole bolt inserted it's a pretty tight fit But it fits nonetheless. Hey are you putting the whole bracket all the way to the front so that it's just sitting barely off on the front of the bracket well area of the hull?

 

[tightithrash]

Yes

sized up the wrap graphics and replaced the hard lines done in photoshop with vector based graphics at full size. What do you guys think of having the FR logo across the front. Too much or looks ok?

 

[tightithrash]

Looks sick!!!

 

[hink320]

Any more progress on this?

Looks awesome I love the over-sized lettering...placement is very well balanced of both logos.

Thanks for the kudos. I still haven't printed the graphics yet, been slammed at work and away on the weekends.

Managed to sneak in a little powder coating.

Made the pole pad. At this rate I'm going to ride in December. Been too busy with work, but I guess that is what funds the build.

 

[hink320]

Get on it! You're going to love the ride, I've had mine on the water three times already and I love it.

 

[chadetroit]

I definitely cannot wait. I just need to find some more hours in the day somewhere.

 

[SkiDiggity]

graphics are so cool!!!

 

[chadetroit]

Thanks, I'll be printing them next week and laying them down we'll see how they look in reality. Hopefully still cool

 

[chadetroit]

New start stop electronics came in. Excited to have a fresh set!

PIMP Rocket!!!!! That pole looks familiar.

 

[chadetroit]

Yup that pole needs to get wet!

Worked a 30hr shift but tried to capitalize on a an hour when i got home before i get some rest.
Bow eye install and some roughing in of parts just to see how the fit was and configure the rad dudes exhaust tube with the H2O waterbox. So much more room than the old fx1.
