Im fairly sure your pair from blackcat are prepared..
However, a good bloke for props is andym who resides in Broken Hill ( brokeback hill )
He is one of the more prevalent users and abuser of this thread.

I hope they are. I am after some prep work on other prop sets I have run out of time to do everything so I will have to farm out some work. I have sent andym a pm so hope to hear back soon.

I figure I should ask this lot first as we do not really care a lot about what the packet says.
As we all know I am an odd bugger and insist on using Chinas finest escs as RC fuses. Mysteries are my favourite smell.

Now most of them profess to be 2-6S capable and I use them in 2-5S configuration with much happiness. Have any of you (mad farkers) run one at 6S

I ask as I have a real nice 3S2P setup that can be made 6S1P and then I get a big choice of Outrunner motors for a possible new rigger setup.

What say the wise folk. ??.....give it a whirl ???

You know the drill Simon. Start with a small prop and work up etc, etc, etc. Your question begs another question though. SAW or oval course?
Mate I blew one of Europe's finest that cost $800 just programming it. The Chinese ones are looking good after that experience. The piece of crap never even got to turn a motor over. Another expensive European one I have destroyed a new 1521 motor I had and started on another motor but I realized the problem before it got finished on that motor. Only ever had two Chinese esc's and they both still work fine. Smoked a few CC controllers but they gave up that smoke after a lot of torture. For me it will be Chinese or American controllers for a while. To be fair my YGE Navy 200 is a good controller until it decides to change the timing all by itself.

You may get the answer "NO" from Andy at the moment as he has something serious he is dealing with at the moment. If he says "no" then ask egneg. Chuck does very good work.

I hate foam on my beer. It was just a pity the esc was in the way. I hope you did not tell Martin it got damaged when I hit the mailman on his motorbike with my 4WD. That will stop the prick jumping in the cot with June while I am at work. They say they will remove life support on Friday.

Well girls I have had my new BBY rigger (new to me) out a few times. 57 MPH on 4s and 68 mph on 5s, turns on a dime and is just what I was after. I will post some videos as they become available.







and a picture of it's SAW brother

I bet you do.

For those with any interest in boats I took my new BBY rigger out again late this afternoon. Last time I used a normal Turnigy battery and it posted 110 kph or 68 mph before the battery had a minor meltdown (nothing serious). This time I used one of the Turnigy nano-tech batteries. Speed was 121 kph or 75.18 mph. I am more than impressed with both speed and handling of this little rigger. I am happy to run in the mid 60's with it so I will experiment with smaller props and get the speed down to that level. That should give batteries, esc and motor all a longer life and give me some much needed driving practice.

Just a small update. In an effort to slow the boat down I took the X452 off and ran it with an X450 this afternoon. The result... 127 kph or 78.91 mph. The only other thing that was different was I ran it over a longer distance. It is so tempting to take the turn fin off and go for 80 mph. Mr Randy Naylor you build some fine and fast riggers.

Does anyone have some contact details for the Logan Marine modelers in Bris. I would like to run my FE stuff there as the river at Jindalee it a bit rough and the tide run doesn't help a stranded boat.

Cheers

Andrew, ask ScottT here at OSE.
He races FE inthe Brisbane area.

and your props reluctantly left me yesterday.
