BL Pro Boat Mini-Cat (Now the Mini-C)

[Diegoboy]

i am using a .098 shaft, but i have not gotten a coupler yet Deigao?

Sorry Taylor,
I'll order one and have it shipped to you.

[Dale Koblitz]

Diegoboy, did you get your chrystal yet?

[jeff180]

Diegoboy, I got some questions for you. First off, Did you reinforce the stern with anything?If you did what. What nuts and bolts did you use for your rudder assembly?
Did you get them from Ose or a hardware store?
thanks for a nice guide and sorry if you answered any of these.

[Dale Koblitz]

He said he poured 2 part foam in the servo linkage hole I believe. I asked him that before on another forum.

Diegoboy, did the 1/8 shaft fit the bearings for the mini cat racing hardware? I am thinking about using this hardware on a hydromite but want to use 1/8 props like you did. Thanks.

[ray schrauwen]

I would like to know also.

Did you just drill out the strut bearings?

Thanks.

[Diegoboy]

Sorry guys... I've been away for too long.
Anyway, I didn't use the bearings, I used brass tube as a bushing. (one inside another) it was a nice fit, using 3 different sizes.

[ray schrauwen]

Thank you, I forgot that was possible. I'll machine a new bushing on my micro lathe in brass for my buddies Mini-V.

Excellent build and very nice thread on your Mini-Cat! I tried to find the Team Orion Avionics Captain 35A or the 45A ESC, but it's discontinued. I wonder what would be a good replacement? Is it an Aircraft or Car/Buggy ESC? Do you need a Pistix Adapter?

[SJFE]

Man this thread is getting EPIC. Just when you think it's dying out BAM it's back.....lol

[jeff180]

diegoboy where did you get the motor from? I have been searching all over the place and have not found one in stock.

[Diegoboy]

I ordered it through my LHS. I ordered another one 3 weeks ago, I'm still waiting for that one. I guess there must have been a run on those motors recently. It's like everyone wants that motor for some odd reason.

Sorry, I missed this one.
It's a plane ESC, but it doesn't need the pistix. I was unaware it was discontinued. I can still get it from the LHS here. LMK if you want one. I'll get it for you.
