Thank you sir! Quite a bit smaller than I imagined. I use one on my sprintcat. It's about 1/2" square. Works well, but bounces a bit at mid throttle. I'm gonna fab something up before I leave work today and attach it with double sided tape.

Just got done running in a snow storm. Fun times! Frozen fingers! Airdam worked excellently! I had one esc prematurely hit lvc, so I'll have to turn the lvc settings to off. I was messing around doing full throttle launces from a stop. It rips out of the water slightly nose up and looks cool as hell. I'm sure thats what caused the lvc to kick in.

Glad it helped.
I use one of the OSE LVC circuits that is independent the 2 esc.. attached at Rx and fed to 2xesc from there... if at wot one cuts out, ouch !
slows it down without cutoff...

Rumdog, love the build!!

[FighterCat57]

So... um... I get this really messed up thread subscription email...

Then I come here and I see, we all love Rummy's build. =)

I guess it's true, things are better with moderation.


Rummy, have you thought of adding some caps to help prevent the voltage drop?

I've been watching voltage drops with telemetry and trying to figure how to calculate what farad capacity would eliminate the drops or reduce them dramatically. After all, that's what caps are designed to do. Might experiment with a dozen 4700's in a bank to see what happens to the drops.

Thanks, Ben. Yeah, I have the caps to add. Prob. will do this weekend. I may need some vinyl from you. A couple sets of the kitty head and the banner graphic. Are you out of stock currently?

On the hulls, yes, they sold out fast this time around... The 42mm mounts are in flight.

EDIT: Oh, the decals.. whoops! I forgot to add stock!

I have some stock updates to do on the decals. I'll see if I can get some photos of the new materials.
