MHZ Mystic 1380mm build

LOL @ Chris, lots of machines I wish I had. Never thought the machines I have were going to be used for boats.

@ PF3X, thanks for the compliments.

Anyway, didnt have alot of time today to work on the boat, but got some electrical done plus the "Star" for the motor (Enables the motor in WYE mode and can be use for 8s around 1370kv, compared to Delta 2365kv i think) I also got the leads wrapped with mesh to hide the black, red, and white. And for minor protection. Next will be some more water proofing and mounting the ESC's 5-8 more hours and she's good for her maiden.

Hi everyone, trying to work out the ESC's hmmm they fit fine but by doing this will have to extend the battery leads.
Worse case they have to be top mounted. They also fit in the sponsons behind the motors :) ...ahh well still thinking

Cant you put the ESC's sideways?
Then connect the lipo thats in the left sponson with the right engine and vice versa.
Then you can have the minimum wire lenght possible I think.

But I dont know if that will fitt under your awesome carbon work.

Grtz,
Remmie

Remmie, I wish, but the holding screws are in the way. If I was able to fit them that way "if I modify" I don't think it would look very good as you would see the ends? I wonder how bad it would be to extend the wires 10cm 8guage? How much power would get lost? And how hot? I have tried behind the motors, it don't look bad.

put them on the wall behind the escs.
see brusier77 daytona thread where he placed the FC esc for example.

put them on the outside wall behind the escs.

That's what I ment about the behind motors "parallel to the motors" if you look closely at the picture there is a black strip of Velcro next to the motor. It don't look too bad.

[Remmie81]

Ok if sideways is not possible then I would mount them on the walls between the motors and batteries if possible.
Then your tunnel stays very clean, you can design something new to make mounts and covers for them on the sides.
everything is lined-up then and you can go with short wires.

This was my idea for my MHZ 114 as well.

LOL, at least we are all talking about the same solution

[nata2run]

Wow, they are big and heavy esc's. I have to think a little more as I want it to look as nice as possible.

[Remmie81]

Just an idea but if you would put velcro on the walls and on the ESC's, then you can always remove them in case you need to.
Then if you make these stands (like the ones you have on your tunnel were the bolts of your carbon plate go into) and mount
them on the walls you can put a carbon plate in front of the ESC's so they are almost not visible.

So the same idea as you have now on the tunnel but then on the walls of the sponsons

Hey Kent
Joe@mbp-de just invoiced me for the pair of click drives !
woohoo.. !
on their way ... !

23.58 here atm
g'nite !

[Chrisg81983]

@ w those click drives are very nice. some people say he will not ship to us, but I have no problems. @ Kent I would do the esc's like bruiser did in his daytona how is the vinyl coming along

[nata2run]

@ Wayne, woohoo good to hear, sadly when they get here you may loose them to me :) .!!
@ Everyone, the plan was to have them under the carbon....."I WILL MAKE THEM FIT" who says you can't trim a little here and there LOL.
@ Chris, you have PM

Thats not a bad idea, will do as my last way out if I cant fit them any other way, I would then cut the same pattern in them as on the plates but have them light up when the ESC's are armed :)
