Hi guys

Im a first time scale builder also
And currently building an aziz
I think for a beginner like me the aziz is now for a first-timer

I have a build blog but
Im not sure if I can post it here
Since its on a different forum

At the moment I have stol building it
Im currently working on another scale boat



51inchess length
6 inchess wide
Im in the process of connecting the riggers
And see how many pounds I can carry to get it water level
From there I can figured out
What sla battery I can use

I need help with a brushed motor
should I go witb a direct drive
or with geared drive?


Thanx

[Bduncan]

Probably direct. What kinda speed you looking for
At a glance a very low kv motor on 2s ahould work

[hilyfe]

Speed doesnt really matter to me as long as it sail I guess
But it would be nice also to have a little speed since I can just control the speed on the transmitter
needed:
Motor props driveshaft esc

Black Friday Super Deals : http://www.neumotors.com/store/page1/page1.html

THe 1910 1.5y motor is 680 kv. Super
Price for a neu motor and given your unique
Build it is appropiate. You could hook up a 60 amp brushless esc to it and
as long as you don't run over 4s. It will be a super reliable set up.

[Bduncan]

A 47MM 3 blade prop or 50ish 2 blade would work fine. With this kv it would be hard to over prop it. Trust me. For a little cruiser like that, you won't find a more appropiate motor.

[hilyfe]

Errr guys im looking for brushed motor
Trying to stay away from lipo's

[Bduncan]

You can use nimh on brushless
Motor. My rec still stands

[hilyfe]

Ok I didn't know I can use brushless motor on nihm or sla

Brings me to another question
which of the two is more efficient?
Lets say same props same battery
Which one would give me the longer run
Ill sacrifice speed to my run time

How can I beat my dad's JAE 21 fe with a JAE mini sprint?

First post here sorry if I did it incorrectly. My father has a JAE 21 fe with a neu 1509 2200kv, castle hydra 240a, running 5s to 8s in it. I want to build a JAE mini sprint to try to beat his boat when I go and visit him. This is just the two of us at a lake and not a sanctioned race. I don't want to spend too much so here is my build plans for now until I get some advice from you folks. JAE mini sprint kit, mystery 100a esc, turnigy 2850 3600kv on 3s or even 4s if I can fit it in there. Water cool everything with a high flow to try and keep it semi cool. I have no idea if I will even come close to his boat with this setup. His boat is running around 60mph. Please any advice would be great. Once again I am on a tight budget so cheap parts are all I can swing for now. The boat does not have to last for more than this trip. Thank you.
