FE 30 Rigged for P-Sport Hydro

[properchopper]

Gen, I also have an FE30. Just a few weeks ago I made my strut exactly flat 0 degrees and for me, this was perfect. I was runing a M447 and was getting some hop and this eliminated the problem. Each prop has a different effect, so you adust a bit sometimes. I would start with perfectly level and go from there. Propper may offer a different perspective.

well ,i never used balsa ,must have seemed like a stupid question when i later looked at balsa and realized how weak it was ..

i ended up doing a 5mm marine ply frame around engine and shaft similar to what mr propper chopper did and then glued my servo mount and traxxas radio box (for receiver )

still got to epoxy my layout ..

also tony can i ask in setup it talks about strut haveing so much neg .ect the strut from factory is quite inclined so are these already sought of in good position from factory ??

Hey, I was just staring at your picture and it occurred to me that the plywood frame you have might interfere with the battery placement? Are you going with one 4s battery in the middle or a dual battery set up with one on each side?

Good Call !

When I run 4S2P 4000's, they JUST sqeak in under the deck; in fact I have to place a plastic ruler over the velcro to allow the batt's to slide in without catching on the velcro, then pull the ruler out once the batt's are in place. Many racers use a single 4S 5000 in front of the motor; fine for P-Spec and just enough for a 1 mile sprint race. Also, two 2S 5000's in series work well, just watch runtimes with hungry motors.

Hmmm. Just looked at the map of where Legg Lake is and I am out on the West Coast a lot this summer. I actually do some work in City of Industry and Long Beach area, so might have to swing by. Is there any general schedule when you guys run at Legg? Wonder if I can get a hydro through security at the airport? Chuckle. I can see me now with the lipo's..sure these are just regular ol' batteries security person, ya know...for my radio...

Hey, just LMK when you'll be in town & we can hook up. Ship me your boat or you can run one of mine

[electric]

oh...you have never seen what I can do to a boat.. Do not let me drive your boat. Chuckle.

I am going to sort out my calendar for this summer in the next week or so and I will let you know when I am out your way. My wife and kids flee the Texas heat during the summer and stay in Fallbrook with her parents, so I come out to work at our West Coast offices and generally make excuses to be out there as much as I can.

That's what you get when you marry a born and raised Huntington Beach girl and then talk her into moving back to Texas with you. That first summer here in Texas, she was like, "does it really get hottter than this?". That was early spring and I did not have the heart to tell her, "Oh yes, it gets MUCH HOTTER.
