My new 34" mono build

Nice. Liking the theme there. BEAST MODE

Did you make that servo rod connector yourself? Looks beefy

Hey Travis do you know exactly what KV that TP is? I've been using the TP 2Y 1770kv motors and they are a killer 6s motor. I've got two of them in stock right now, I think I'm gonna put the pair of them in a 44" Seaducer Mono I have

That's the exact motor it is. 1770kv.

I got those from Keith.

So I did a motor swap. I'm still waiting on my 1527 but I threw a 1530 1580kv in it. Omg that is a very very powerful motor. I could not believe my ears in how it sounded.






And it went a full 11+mph faster than the tp4070 both on 6s.











Of notable mention. The fastest the lehner ever went in my previous boat tweaked to the max was 69.9mph.

Beautiful build, with some great results at the end of it. With more to come yet, I'm sure.

How about a vid of that 1530 :) that thing is massive!

Whats the KV of that custom 1527 you have coming ?

Maybe I should put some 2x 1530's in my kbb 45...

[kfxguy]

Omg. I changed props and went run it again. 6s......

The 1527 is 1650kv. Still not here yet. I'm sorry I even ordered it now. This 1530 is ridiculous. I only have one video of it. I've been going by myself. I did have my son video it just now on one of the runs but it flipped on that one. It's like I let off and the radio glitched and the throttle event wide open for a sec and it flipped and broke the hatch.

man that sucks about the boat. I've been looking around for the hatch screws and mounts that you use, where do you get them at ?

I fixed it already. You can barely tell. The way I did it was a pain but it's strong.

Busy at work. Lol. The thumbscrews I got off eBay. They come from zoro tools. Do a search for stainless 8-32 thumbscrews. I use 3/4" or 1" depending on what I'm doing. They aren't cheap.

What I did on the hatch was mill a square a little deeper than thee layers of carbon fiber. So those three layer sit flush and take the place of fiberglass. Then once that cured I did a two layer inlay on the whole hatch. I cranked down on the screw to see if it would break again. Nope. I was prepared for it to break again. I have another on order anyway. The seam also has a hairline crack on each side. Must have been a hard hit. I sanded the seam with 30 grit and reinforced the crap out of it. I grabbed the side rails and tried to twist it and pull it apart but it didn't even creak. It's much stronger than it was. When I get a chance I may sand it down and fill the crack and repaint it but for now I'll leave it alone for now.

Here's a visual






Milled or should I say carefully grinded out with a dremel

And the final result. Two more layers.

Thanks for the entire post and awesome build..... A question is where did you get the CF tube on eBay.. I am starting a build on a 26" DF mono what size tube should I use for the flood tube. First build from scratch. Thanks
