Hi Dave,

progress sounds good, will await the pictures.
If questions arrive, feel free to ask me! By the way as you didn't mention, which TP size and kv did you go for?

regards,
Manuel

Hi Manuel,

I am struggling with Photobucket but I think I have it cracked! Photo's to follow....

I have some custom copetition motors being made as we speek. they are 2200kv 4050's only they wont tell me what they do to them, only that they are "explosive force, power, efficiency is more outstanding on copetition version" his words!
I believe they shoud run cooler and be easier on the rest of the system???

Ok, there should be some pictures here???



one of the drive height adjusters is about 1mm out of line but I can fix that.... I will be much happier when the rear end is buttoned up!!!




At the moment, I need to shrink my hands so I can put the nuts on the drive posts :-/
Clear out round the bolt heads for the rudder and resin it all in...

As ever, all and any comments are welcome....

Looks great! Very clean. I am at about the same stage in my build (same hull) but it has taken me much longer to get here.

I used fuel line to get the small rudder hydraulic nuts started. I think I saw that somewhere on here, and it worked well.

Awesome idea! I'll give it a try, thanks!!! :-y
By the way, I just looked at your build..... After work today, I'm hitting it.... Finnish off the nuts, water pick-ups, motor and servo mounts..... Lol...

I think you will be in the water sooner than me but I'll try to keep up....

[KillerDave]

Question....

Hi folks,

I have spent a little while fighting the fixings that hold the rear end together...




Can anyone tell me if I need to resin this lot in?
I will at some point be painting it so I will need to remove the rudder at least.... Around the drives will stay White so they can be masked of...

[KillerDave]

Sorry about the quality of the pictures... :-/

Hi Dave,

well the 4050L/6D listed at their homepage is rated with 2200kv so I think thats the motor you will get. And their motors are really good, I think no need for further competition motors. Its also the question what they could improve?

Anyway with these motors and running on 6S each you may achieve almost 95mph with a set of Octura X447 and around 80-85mph with Octura X442.

regards,
Manuel

Slow work and waiting!!!

Well,....
I've not done so much this week as I'm still waiting the motors but I did get some parts come....

And I've started to make motor mounts...

And a servo tray...

AND, made a start on the water pick ups....



It just dawned on me that I'm not finishing anything so today I will concentrate on the pickups and servo tray....
I know it's not much but I have lots to do elsewhere.... :-/
As ever, please do have a say so I know if I'm doing good or not.....

Nice work.!! Where did you get front motor mounts??

MHZ, here's the link....

Oh, and thank you! :-)

[KillerDave]

Well, What did I say about slow going???
What with work and doing family stuff and the store being closed, I didn't get much done...
I did get the servo box/tray finished though.

I also found that my "3/16" prop tubes are 7.1mm OD and the parts I got from MHZ are for 7mm tube.... 7mm tube and liner on order now...

Looking real nice. Keep up the good work.
