Aeromarine Conquest FE Open Cat 10S Build

[RaceMechaniX]

The reciever power switch was mounted on the rear low enough to clear the tape area for the cowl.



Overall view with NeuEnergy 5S packs installed.



All thats left to do is install the cooling jacket on the motor, plumb the cooling lines, add some floatation and mont some cowl tie downs.

When running 1P, I have a heavy gauge jumper wire to run across the hull from one pack to the other, not ideal but I will only use the 1P set-up with low prop loads.

On 2P, each bank will have its own connetion to the esc.

She's all Done!

Just put all the last pieces on and she is ready to hit the water.

Installed the carbon water jacket from Andrew. Drilled and tapped two inlets on the bottom and two outlets on the top. The cooling water is "Y"ed before it comes into the Schulze. From the Schulze the cooling lines connect to the motor and then out the left side of the hull.



I'll use a FP RX 2S lipo for the reciever. Because the HiTec is good for direct 2S power and so is the reciever I'll skip the regulator.



Another view of everything fully rigged.



I am using two pairs of O-ring hold-downs on either end of the boat. I replaced the smaller diameter O-rings with some larger Silicon ones to spread the distance apart to allow ample room for tape down width.



Just need some water now.

Very nice boat, hope u have more flotation in front though, boat looks tuff !

[RaceMechaniX]

Thanks and yes, there is a full pool noodle's worth of flotation up in the front.

I ordered a Conquest from Aeromarine last week , the speacial electric with the carbon in sponsons and middle with no bulk head. Remy said that the bulkhead makes that boat strong however i opted to leave it out and put it in later. My goal is 60mph with 4 4s 5000ma 40c. Im going to put 4 cheap 540xls from H.C. and 4 turnigy 180amp esc's. I have ordered all hardware and motors , everything but lipos and esc's. I would like to find some skeged struts for it in 3/16 but dont think anyone makes them but octura(i dont like them) so i have ordered all speed master struts with the extended mono bracket. My plan is to put some large mono turn fins on it to keep it from skidding and use some telamatry programing to slow inside props down threw the turns. Question ; Do you think the 3/16 struts are long enouph to hit the water on full plain ? Otherwise Im going to have to find some 4mm flat aluminum and a tig welder to make em longer , I dont want to build up 1/4'' struts. Have you ever heard of anyone using turnfins on a cat ?
Thanks , Randy
