New HPR 115

[domp444]

Oh yeah, I saw Steven got the 1521 1,5d 8mm shaft motors in, but still no 5mm which are the ones I need. Sounds like you got some things done, I'll be looking forward to those pics. My C5000 is sitting under the tree, just waiting to be built :)

Get the bats your going to run in it to find COG.other wise it will be off.ill be by to pick up those Neu's for my boat.

Larry, bring some 6s packs over here so we can figure out the CG.

Dom, I got the two 1521's with the 8mm shafts. The couplers are a little big, but I think they will work fine

[domp444]

I was originally planning on getting the 8mm shaft ones, but since I'll be running 2mm wire drive there aren't any couplers I could find. Many more options for the 5mm shaft.

Oh and that reminds me I should order my bats as well.

Here's some pics. The water pickups didn't turn out as well as i had wanted, but they still don't look bad. The motors are just set in place, still need to decide on there final placement.

Lookin good.You can use my 6s packs,but if you arent going to use them,I wouldnt mock up COG unless your going to use them.I dont suggest using them.I think you should get the stuffing tubes in before epoxying motor mounts in too.Just use the motors bolted to the mounts for mocking the stuffing tubes for alignment.It also makes it easier to install the tubes.

[LarrysDrifter]

I almost forgot-dont get too far on your build.Im still ahead.Not that it matters-Ill be ahead of you on the water anyway.

[domp444]

Looks good man! And as Larry said, you should get the stuffing tubes in before mounting the motors. I see you're also using a single water intake on each side, I was just thinking over whether I should use single or double - since I bought single. But I think I'll stick with the single to keep it out of the way of the stuffing tube.

Anyway, I really like how it's coming along. Can't wait for the maiden run!

This is killer bud! Good work. How wide is that hull? Is it the revised 115?

[LarrysDrifter]

I can tell you it is the revised 115.Dont know the width though.Ill guess at 12" at least.
Wheres Eric?

I'm in no hurry to get the mounts in. Just need an idea so I can get the stuffing tubes in.

List:
1. Stuffing tubes
2. Steering
3.Motor mounts
4. Esc, Bec, Etc...
5. Beat Larrys boat.

At the widest point is about 11''.

[johnf]

Hmm, i need to measure mine. It's the original. I thought it was 11, but maybe it's 10. I like those redesigned drives. Look much easier to mount.

Things are tight in the back by the transom.

[domp444]

Yea I'll definitely stick with the single intakes. They should be enough for each side.
