Hammer Surfacerive conversion

[SJFE]

No problem. If you have a motor mount or little vice and a set of helping hands its alot easer. Its tuff to get everything lined up and stable in order to solder it all up @ once. Use copper tubing. I thinks its the best stuff to solder to.

THANKS SJFE :-)
O and keep a eye on the hammer motor cupler a lot of guy's say they don't hold up to well.

[SJFE]

Yeah it's a POS. It wasent even drilled correctly. one side wasway off center. I redrilled it toget us through today. I have an OSE coupler that should be here monday.

[SweetZ28]

Cool let us know how she goes!

[Quicksilver]

pretty sweet conversion.

You saved me a lot of grief, in my 700sc powered villain, I've been banging my head over how to mount my servo, and then I saw yours, thank you I know it's simple, but for some reason it's always the stupidest things that get me hung up on a build. I just finished glassing it in, now maybe this boat will get wet soon. :D

Quick question, do you think I should just ditch my motor cooling coil, and just stick to brush cooling? Does the coil help at all?

[SJFE]

I would just worry about the brush coolers. The coils do work to an extent. I would buy an OSE jaket for the SC.

So, what happened to this thing?

[G Doggett]

I recommend brush cooling on any brushed motor and with LSO and LSH it is essential.
Most of the heat is generated in the armature windings and the com/brush area so direct cooling here is vital.
I have seen 700 motors get hot enough to melt the solder connections on the power terminals.
A cooling coil or jacket on the can is really only cooling the magnets, but this is also a good idea as if the magnets get too hot they will loose some of their magnetism resulting in a perminant power loss.
It's a tricky job soldering soldering wires, brass tubes,capacitors,and diodes to the terminals, but its worth the effort.

It is now a recovery boat.

[rcmaster1029]

Oh, well that's boring...lol...how does it run?

[SJFE]

What diffrence does it make? It's boring right, which is why the post was burried way back in the arcives.

[rcmaster1029]

Well, I'm sorry.

[Eyekandyboats]

tom it looks good.
but that coupler is the weak point. I have riped mine apart several times

[jrod2292]

do you have any pics of it completed, and what ever happened to the video. i was gonna do a similar conversion to my hammer but then i decided to get a boat i've wanted forever, the villain, so now theres no money to do the conversion.
oh well, you win some you lose some

I would like to see the hammer go as well if possible SJFE???
this one is still on the bench waiting for more paint
the hardware needs cut down but only after running it so it is dialed in.
the motor and shaft all run smooth.
The pic of the outdrive is of course not adjusted there. It looks good when all together
