Because I don't already have enough to do, I figured I'd take a few days this week and literally "throw" this little MHZ Micro Iceberg together to take to the SAW next week.
A little "unconventional"... This boat would normally get a 28mm or similar power system and would rip with it.
Brian Buaas held the N2 Offshore record with one of these a few years back at over 43mph on 6-Nimh cells.
I figured it would be a fun attempt to stuff a NAMBA N1 Power system into it and try for the N1 Cat SAW record, which is currently setting at 37mph. NOTE: This power system I'm using came out of my N1 Mono, which holds the current N1 Mono SAW record at 40.6mph, with one of the passes being 45mph. This could be fun.
Started with a clean hull that I traded some power system parts for here on OSE.
Grabbed a quickie motor mount and located it. Motor has to be HORIZONTAL in order to get it under the hatch, necessitating an S-Bend stuffing tube.
Stuffing tube is 5/32" aluminum with no liner. Flexshaft is 0.098 cable from OSE.com. Strut is an old Fuller's 1/8" lead-teflon strut on a 2" extended strut bracket.
Rudder is a Micro rudder I found here on OSE.com. Worked out perfectly.
Not really much to "build" on this. Once the motor mount was located, using two stainless 4-40 screws, I used JB Weld underneath it to take up the voids left by the "V" shaped center section and basically permanently glued it in place.
Fabbed up a quick carbon servo bracket to hold the Spektrum A3010 Micro-Servo and epoxied it in place down the center.
Hooked up the steering and installed the Castle Mamba Max Pro ESC in the right sponson, along with a cooling fan and the Spektrum MR200 RX.
Motor is a Thunder Power Z3R-540 17.5T ROAR Stock motor.
Battery will be a DinogyLipos.com 2250mAh 65C pack that Mark F. is delivering to me next week down at Legg Lake.
Total weight with the new battery should be around 1lb 8oz. It's 1lb 9.7oz with the 2700mAh Thunder Power 70C that is in there now (see scale picture). Battery will fit, but I don't think I need that large of a pack. The Dinogy should be just about the right size.
That's pretty much it. Went together in just a few nights. Quickie, but I think it actually turned out pretty nice.
