AreoMarine Mean MachineV2 Twin Build

[nate]

Tried to do a maiden run today on 2s only to make sure everything is in working order, ran the boat at 1/4 throttle for about a minute, and one off the motors died on me, so I brought it in, puzzled, so after talking to a member on the phone for a few, it was a simple fix! Just had to pull one hot wire on the esc (rx side, must have been something to do with the internal bec setup. Finally got it running, and ready to do a maiden on 2s tomorrow!

After looking at your larger pics, the strut mount is thicker one side than the other, which means your struts are toed in, not parallel to the tunnel. This will cause an issue at speed I am sure.

I asked that question to a Member on here last night, and was told that high 40's and 50's would do just fine and that the toe in wouldn't be an issue. I hope not. Im about to go run it soon as I can get away from my wife's dutys for one minute!

Hi Nate nice job, I love a good MM Twinn build thread .

I've been thinking of twinning my meanie, but i've been getting alot of saddle time in Ridin' my scooter lately, but I scouted the local boat holes again, they're thawed out

Thanks man ^. Well, same issue again today happened, the left side motor cut out this time... I think my throttle set points on the esc's are off, im going to look into it. but heres a video of only 2s, couldnt really do much with only one motor running 80% of the time. Surprised how fast it is considering the voltage.

You're getting her figured out alright. If I were doing this I would run both esc's off channel 2, with a Y channel splitter so they both operate exactly the same. Adjust timing on both motors to 0, and run them with counter rotating props.
