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

[Diegoboy]

The motor is rated at a nominal voltage input from 11.1V - 18.5V. I'm on 11.1V
The ESC is rated for lipos from 2-6 cells. I'm in 3 cells
Max surge current of the motor is 30A while the ESC is 35A with a max of 45A.

I'm not anywhere near the limit on any component. I don't expect too much in the way of heat. If I'm wrong, the rudder has a pickup!

hmmmm who will win?!?!?!!?
lol

[Diegoboy]

Dirty has a bum elbow!

[domwilson]

He's alot younger than me. I might have to double up on the Geritol!

[Diegoboy]

You both have 1 advantage each. Dirty lives here, so it's no expense to ship to him. Dom lives exactly where I want to be, so if I can't be there, at least one of my boats can!

[dirtysouth31]

One advantage you forgot to mention diego....I know where u live!

[rcmaster1029]

He already said I could have it. Yeah, go figure...

[domwilson]

Dang! Diego, Your cat sure has made you popular.
When you going to put that thing in the water? If you see any guys out there with a transmitter and no boat, you might want to keep it close to shore.

[Diegoboy]

So true. I hope to get her in the water this weekend, if Dirty ever get's his arrow wind ready!

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.
