Mean Machines New Dress (Thanks Fluid)

[3-UP]

Couldn't put it in the build threads as I just put a new dress on an old xxxx .. Thanks Fluid for the great hull ,I am so happy to get rid of the Geico wa wa wa wa . It was too much yellow for me so I wrapped the top and painted the inside also added the canopy hold downs to keep kfxguy happy . Now if I could only get it faster maybe its the two 5s 5000mah batteries but I have 3 sets of them so that's what it gets. I can only get 46mph out of it on 5s 10000mah/ 4075 1800/ m445/m545/ t180esc with the strut 1/4" off the table. Looks fast though.. I have a crappy vid I can post also.

You can try the strut down a bit or a M645, also a m447 would bite a bit more with the strut where it is at, but 1800kv really likes 6s

Sorry for the terrible vid I think I had the m545 on then, srislash I will try the strut down a bit thanks.

[srislash]

Yeah, that looks really stable. As the strut goes down it will 'loosen' up a bit, but speed will increase as it breaks loose from the water. Then the fine balance starts, batteries a touch forward perhaps. Just play with it and have fun.
And as a tip, Mark where the strut is now because that is set nice for light chop or "race wAter"

Looks like it runs well. I have mine set up with a 4082 1600kv leopard. Think I can get 6s packs in the sides? What packs are you running?

You wrapped it? Looks awesome! Put you some bright decals on it and that will finish it. Good job on the hatch hold downs!

My batteries are 5s 5000mah, the batteries fit like a dream drop right in with ease. If your worried about fitment just make a dummy battery out of foam or wood to the dimensions of the batts your going to buy and see how they fit.

Yah I wrapped it the hatch was a pain had to do it in three sections, it does need to be brighter its hard to see at times, good for now. Knew you would like the hold downs , tape is for kindergarten I found a way to get her to scoot a bit better ordered a NEU/Castle 1515 and HRC water jacket

I have not owned a mean machine yet, but that's supposed to be a good motor for it. It's a good motor regardless.

Yeah well I would be careful with your props if you are in fact planning to run that 1515 on 5s.

I hit 60 on a detounged 642 with mod to high temps on a full 3 minutes running hard. Jmtc

Thanks for the good info. The cooling jacket from HRC arrived, parts from OSE arrived but the motor I ordered first from only 2 states away does not even look like I will get it by the weekend . HRC and OSE shipped out fast too bad the other company which I will not name wasn't a bit more prompt. Well thats enough wining. Thanks again Luck.
