MHZ Mystic 1380mm build

[nata2run]

Hey! Those are my popcorns LOL

[nata2run]

Got the cooling sorted today, just the last little bits for the exit of the hull. also installed the support rod between the two motormounts. seems like I'm getting less vibrations, and its now hard to squash the two sides in. She should be ready for a maiden, but I find it a bit unsecure to install the batteries with no mounts. May have to consider. I really want her on the water though!!!

Carbon Fiber conducts elec, the thin coat of epoxy over the C/F is NOT much insullation. I have seen an $800.00 schultz mounted on a C/F plate burn from a dead short across the + and - on 10s almost took out the tent canopy!!!!
C/F looks great but can be deadly used wrong!!!

[nata2run]

Unless the servo is in danger from being mounted directlty to the plate, I can't see what can go wrong? There is 3mm rubber between the esc's and the mounts plus the insulation around the esc's. I'm assuming everyone that uses carbon know not to mount any electrical components directly. I guess someone with a $800 schulze controller mounted directly onto carbon has no business in the boat business.

Hello Everyone, today was the day for the maiden!!! I somehow sorted out the placement of the lipos and got them snugged in with noodles.
Quite nice for a maiden I would say, nice in the water and a good speed of 102.4km/h on only 6s with the 4818/3.

Cool cant wait to see this

[srislash]

Me too

[nata2run]

Oh had some. Cooling problems. Could be the pickups or could be the 3mm tube that I used. Will install 4mm tube and see how we go. No chance of running the way it is.

[nata2run]

Does any of you guys have a photo of your under hull "home filed" pickups just want to make sure mine are right. Didn't seem to cool very well. Don't want to have to install a metal one at this point.

[srislash]

So how bad was it?Have you tested the rest of the cooling system?And are your cooling tubes going up at a 90 degree angle in relation to the ride pad?

Well it was bad enough, definitely can drive like this, you can blow through the cooling system but not with ease, if that makes sense. The pipe is at 90 degrees yes. But I wonder if the tear drop need to be a certain length or depth? The other option is to install a hose with a larger diameter.

[srislash]

What diameter is the hose now? I have gone thru all my fittings with a drill bit and make larger fittings for the cooling jackets.If it is having a hard time pushing the water thru opening the flow will help.On my Geico I got a good 1/8th throughout.The FC I think is 7/64th with 1/8 lines.
Another thing I can suggest is try to reinstall the 90 degree tube with a swept rearward angle to it.With them straight up you would need pressure built up to make water travel up them(I would think).
You could also elongate the teardrop.They do look a bit short.

Shawn, I think it a combination of small hose and "short teardrop" I have made the teardrop longer, so before I change the tube I'll see if it has made any effect if I change it all and no good then I'll turn to the metal ones that I know work. Did you watch the vid by the way? The doc has some more coming once it uploads, but I think his still on a 28 modem LOL
