ProBoat 1/8 Miss Llumar Build

[Doby]

1/8 th's are nice and big aren't they:) But, everything else is nice and big as well, motor, batts, speed control etc $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Motor, around $500
Speed Control, around $400
10S Lipos, around $1000

Tell Me,,,,Why do we do this to ourselves ??????????????

[Bill-SOCAL]

Well, ,,,,,,,motor selection has been made and purchased

2280/12T

I run that motor in a large cat (AM Avenger Pro - 44") on 10S2P. It is also the motor that we have settled on along with the Midwest guys as one of the 3 we would use in our 1/8th scales too. I am setting up my 1/8th with a Neu 1527/1.5Y on 10S1P.

Update time;
Still waiting on my motor from Fine Design,,,,,,I like Chris but his shipping is very slow.
Sent the motor specs to River Rat yesterday along with some dimensions for the motor mount.

Hopefully more updates and pics soon .

[Doby]

RiverRat is working on the mount
As for the motor,,,still waiting,,,and waiting,,,,,

.........................And Waiting

I need a 3060 as well, but I am going somewhere other than FDM!!

How long has it been, since you purchased the motor?

[Doby]

3-4 weeks. He has always been reliable and I always get my stuff,,,,,,but he is sllllllllllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooo oooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww .

[justneedspeed]

Doby is this your only build or are you just working on this build?

[Doby]

Just working on this one right now. Why ??

[justneedspeed]

Just wondering. I was going to say if you had the parts and time you could work on another project. I have to do something other than wait. You must be an extremely patient person.

[Doby]

So True, but to many projects started at the same tme sometimes leads to none getting completed. I use the spare time to maintain the rest of my fleet and practice my flight simulator for my re-initiation into RC flight this year.

Plus, shoveling snow takes quite a bit of time

[justneedspeed]

any updates to your build doby?

[Doby]

Yup, Thanks for asking. Motor finally came in today ,,,although the cooling jacket is on B/O.

I'll post some pics a bit later

[Doby]

Here are some shots of the 2280 next to a 9 XL for size comparison.

I like the motor mount Idea and what esc are you going to use?
