MRP Fountain - steps and outdrive(s)

[Make-a-Wake]

The new rudder setup and transom repair went just fine..............just got back from a 2/3 throttle run...........thank goodness thats all i did because i put fresh batts in the TX and i have realized that the servo is the culprit.............it randomly changes its centerpoint, so i have to over compensate for it, then it goes back to the old centerpoint...........overcompensate the other way................what the H......???? Its going in the trash. Thats why i crashed the other day..............freakin zig zaggin all over I didnt have my temp gun after i got it in, but i could hold my finger on the wire end of the endbell for 5 seconds..............that should be good i imagine.

Still does it............so.........i took out the red pin from the ESC, threw in a 6v Rx pack and it worked fine..........?? I have heard that 2.4ghz radios dont like sudden voltage drops...............could be true. Ran very nicely..........now that everything is "ready" i can vid on Sunday.

Built in bec might have an issue.
Carl when are you running this weekend?

[Make-a-Wake]

Most likely on sunday afternoon...........I'll be there from around 2-7........gonna fish too, caught some good ones last sunday! We need to see about making some adapters for your esc to my batts.

Ok, you will have to call me again it did not ever ring my phone.
Did you decide what will work for you on the novak, I have two female deans on my desk. I also have 5.5 bullets.
When do you want to actually run boats, I am free all day. I ran a few times this week, I really feel like I have the 24" dialed in now, you will be impressed. What do you have in 3s 2000-3000mah with a decent C rating that we could try? I am going to order a few at some point but my budget keeps getting shot to heck.

My stinkin' servo is still turning right at full speed.............it justs re-centers itself off to the right. In order to get it back in i have to give i nearly full left steering, then i pick it up out of the water and its straight again......... I am still running the receiver pack, whats up?

It's running awesome when it runs straight for the first two minutes or so......then the servo deal kicks in.

Any thoughts here?

1) no CF I assume?
2) 2.4 ghz you said? I had issues with my FM in a boat, added external BEC and no more problem
3) wet receiver? try another one if you have one
4) did you try a new servo? they get unreliable when the get wet

[Make-a-Wake]

Yep, 2.4, 6v power supply for RX, second servo I've tried, does it with the bec supply too. Are you going to run the 6s or stay at 5?
