Jae 12 fe

[Chuck E Cheese]

ok, here is what i did. this is a jae 12 fe. i started with the same theory as the 21 fe and built a taller tub to fit the battery and motor. i ran it today and it is every bit as fast as the 21fe, i am pretty sure it will run with the 12 nitros. handling was good although it needs a little more lift out of the prop. i tried 3 props starting with a 642 to 645 to 1450. the 1450 was the best although the one i had in my box was right out of the bag, needs s/b and a little work to get dialed in. speeds seemed around mid 50's with no suprises in the handling department. all temps were low except the stock 4mm motor to esc connectors. i will replace with 5.5's before next run. the finished weight came in at 3lbs 8oz with 4000mah. i till try running it with 3000mah 40c's. these jae's are great platforms to build on and this one suprised me. so far i love the 4 i have (12 nitro, 12fe, 21 nitro, 21fe) and look forward to making a few more. i think my next build will be a 2 cell 12.

you will love it... i will tell you that if i have a few more days like today there is going to be a truck load of nitro stuff going up for sale. these 2 riggers and the tunnel i built have got me interested in FE again.

Im going to do a jae 21 and a 45. Youre right they are some great running riggers. I want to run h sponsons on my 45 do u think theyll be hard to make?

ya my tub is taller so a 4s 4000 fits on top of the sponson tube, it likes the weight in the front..

ah cool, yeah i would like to keep my tub hight stock, but can probably use shorter 2200 cells in parallel. i calculated that 4x 2200 2s packs in series parallel fits in the hull, with three upright in a row and one flat on top. so i only need to make a raised hatch. so should be good :) and thanks for the help :)
