MHZ Mystic 56" Mono

[Jason4636]

I got a couple of hours of work in today. Got all the holes for the esc wiring, plus mounted the esc's. And started running my water line, and figured out the ID is way too small. So I got some blue 4mm ID hose coming. Just figured to try the blue line, since I have all the blue washers inside. If I don't like it, I'll change it out to black. And I started on the wiring, I'm trying to keep as much wiring hidden as possible. So the bec and the RX is mounted under the servo mount. Plus on the servo mount, it will have a pull pin to power up the bec. When its all finished, any of the wiring that will run from the RX or bec forward, will be inside black shrink wrap. So it will blend in with the CF.

That is looking sooo sick Jason, excellent workmanship.

Bro that thing is a tank! It looks great!

[Jason4636]

I know its as heavy as a tank. And it does feel like a tank, very solid. There is close to a $400 sheet of CF inside this thing.

Getting a lot if ideas for my next build. Can't wait to see some grate vids

Doesn't get much better than this. The cooling jackets look sick with the carbon wrapped around them

[Jason4636]

The esc's have the same cf veneer as the motors. I just haven't pulled the protective covering off them yet. Got the veneer from dragon plate. It came with 3m adhesive already on the back of it

Progress up to know.

Got all the hardware mounted, siliconed. And hopefullt water tight. I also got all the electronics attached to the servo holder. There all tested, Rx binded to the Tx. And all wiring is ran forward. I'm glad Keith told me how good the radiopost servo's are. And Joel for posting a video of how quite they are. I also attached a video of the servo in actio, you can hear the dish washer in the back ground over the servo. And since I have a wide arm that the rudder cables tie into, I had to turn the servo travel all the way down to 40% throw. Plus I really like the look of all the blue washers.




Under the servo holder, I still need to mak it look a little cleaner. But the 2 esc leads, and the wiring for the bec. Is inside some heat shrink, to try and keep it looking clean

And I'm sorry about the video, but I'm a southern country boy. And yes I sound like a hick!!

She looks sick jason man you r almost ready for maiden huh. Just wanted to say time well spent on this one and good luck.

[Jason4636]

yea its getting closer. I have to wait for the rest of my connectors to come in. The hobby shop guy in town said they will be in wednesday. But I ordered some blue hose from Kintec on tuesday. I emailed Jan yesterday to see when it was going to ship. He said it wouldn't ship out till next friday. So that sucks, i'll finish up all my soldering wednesday at work. And try and have it together by friday next week. If I get it all done, and I'm just waiting on my water lines. I'll run to town and just buy some hose to get me by. I want it to be done by next friday, cause I'm taking the real boat out friday.

[Chrisg81983]

Awesome

[Scooter B]

This thing is serious. Can't wait to see it run as a big fan of mono hull boats.

[Jason4636]

i'm just waiting on the rest of my connectors to come in. Hopefully by friday I'll madien it. If not it will be a couple of weeks till I have time to get to the lake. I close on my house in a week, then comes the painting, moving, and cleaning the old place. So I'll be tired up for a while.

[Jason4636]

I had some slack in my rudder cables when turning side to side. I was told it was better to have a solid servo horn when running a pull-pull system like I am running. Well this is what I'm thinking of ordering for my servo horn. Do you guys think they will work better than the set up I'm using now?

The hole for the linkage is 26mm / 32mm / 38mm / 38mm offset 5mm / 44mm offset 5mm (each side) from the center hole. So if I went with the 2 outside holes, thats 88mm spacing. The one I'm using now is 95mm. These are the biggest servo horns with blue anodizing that I could find. I think I'm going to order the first one, just looks cooler that a plan one

[iridebikes247]

It looks awesome jason, curious do you have a link to this servo arm I think I need to pick one up too
