I have a question for you. The hardware you used is the same I'm ordering for my project and it says to use .094 cable but all I can find is .098. I see you used .098 was there any issues with that?

Be careful with these guys. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...tems=25&page=2
I ordered a few things from them in the past.
Got the wrong Feigao motor (20XL) and they said that it would cost me more to get the motor I paid for originally (9L). Took almost three months to get a rudder from them and it was the wrong one. Wouldn't take it back. Wouldn't answer emails. I was told that they were pulled from ebay for awhile because of their bad customer service. Part of the learning curve when getting into this hobby. Bad Vendors. You might have better luck.Last edited by domwilson; 01-30-2008, 02:18 AM.Government Moto:

I did the same conversion with my mini V but when I twisted the stuffing tube out it cracked the hull a little near the strut. No big deal, I fixed it with a little ca glue and marine epoxy. I used a pulso 40amp esc, a feigao 16s 2500kv motor, detounged x432, and 3s 1650HV 15c battery. The battery is the weak link but the boat flies. It litterally jumps like 2 feet out of the water if you juice the throttle. I'm going to order this http://www.rcworldwide.com/v5/produc...ini-Hydro.html . and this http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...mcr-mhd&cat=69 which is the same set you ordered. Do you think this will be a decent set-up? The hull is only 16" so I figure I'll have a pretty quick little micro Hydro on my hands.
I noticed on that site I could just get a micro hydro boat for like $231. but that kind of defeats the purpose of finding a hull for the stuff I got. I also would like to build my own boat but I'll have to figure out what it'll cost for hull, hardware, mount, shaft and a pushrod if the mini-v one doesn't work.Last edited by Diegoboy; 01-30-2008, 09:30 AM."A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough."

...Oh, If you only did the flex shaft mod to your V and left the stock steerable outdrive installed, that also adds to your instability with your V. You hear how the steerable outdrives handle like an 18 wheeler? well imagine a twin turbine 18 wheeler."A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough."

The steerable outdrive modded with the .098 flex shaft alone will not "kill" the handling.
It's that mod, coupled with overpowering the boat with a brushless motor that will do it.Last edited by Diegoboy; 01-31-2008, 12:56 AM."A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough."

The stock HW needs a longer cable than the Mini Hydro HW. So your cable will still fit with maybe a tiny bit of trimming.Last edited by Diegoboy; 01-31-2008, 01:16 AM."A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough."
