Going OLD SCHOOL, BABY!! Wilmer will like this one!
Thought I'd share a little project I've been tinkering on the past couple of weeks.
Our club ran a class a couple of years ago that we called 19T-Spec Hydro, using 19T brushed motors and 2S1P Lipo packs... was a lot of fun and a cheap way to run riggers...
The next year, we switched motors to a small AMMO BL motor and had a blast...
I took that hull, and made some modifications to it, and now have it outfitted to run M2-Hydro for SAW and maybe 2-Lap.
I've collected a variety of motors... they are DIRT CHEAP now that BL has taken over, and I got three of the Checkpoint motors from Tower for 18.95 each... Ray Schrauwen sold me a couple of brand new Hughey motors, and I had a couple others here already. Should have plenty of options.
Things were a little cramped, until I recalled a way of installing contacts that I've seen Jay Turner use, which saved me at least an inch of interior space inside the hull, allowing me to put the RC-Hydros SC-5 4 cell ESC right up in front of the motor. Now everything drops right in.
Not sure what I'm going to do with it now, but if the opportunity comes up to run a SAW or 2-Lap event, I'll be ready!
I'm going to test it out in the meantime, just to see how it works... I'll try to get some video if I do.
