Mause Bullet Build

[SJFE]

As everyone knows I scooped up Mr Jordan's Bullet. I have ordered the SpeedMaster mono setup, fullers cf turnfin and a Feigao 7XL for starters. I am going to be visiting Mr Hill for some new Lipos shortly. I am going to run the Hex esc I pulled out of the jack with the water cooling. I also plan on running the S-Bec if it survived getting wet the last time out. If not I'll buy another one. The Spektrum receiver out of the Jack will be used in this boat also. I will have to wait on trim tabs to come back in stock. With any luck I will have this boat in the water and on video possibly mid to late next week. I plan on changing the SV stickers and matcing both boats in a team layout. I am debating sanding nd painting the MM to match also.
Look for build pictures late this week and over the wekend.
I expect some good numbers out of this boat:)

It's out in the car, all packaged and stamped... I'll be dropping it at the Post Office this afternoon... Would have loved to have done it this morning, but they don't have a place to drop off packages of this size...

Can't wait to see what you do with it... Should be fun...

Oh... by the way... it's "Maus"...

[SJFE]

LOL I've done that every time I typed it....Uggg. Of course the one time I miss it it's in the title field and can't be changed.
Yup King dumb @ss here....:D

Yup King dumb @ss here....:D

I think once the Maus arrives, you'll be King "Haul @ass..."

[hammertime]

paint them all the same that would be sweeeet.... i was thinkin about doin that with the sv and the badit cat too

[SJFE]

It would be the perfect time. It's stripped and ready to sand. I will have to "brush up"..lol..in the how to section for sanding and painting. I'm not all that swift @ finish work.

Ask some folks who have DH Monos' about setups If I am not mistaken the bullet is very similar to the DH. Correct me if I am wrong Darin.

ROFLMAO:D

Ferg
Darin did say they where alike. If I'm not mistakin the DH has more lift and the Maus has more dead rise...witch will handle speeds better.

[Darin Jordan]

The DH Mono (my current N2-Mono, last years O-Mono Champion in our club...), has less V, and more angle of attack on the keel... It starts rising toward the bow about 5" from the transom and keeps right on going...

The Maus stays flat for a good 8-10" before it starts rising, and it has more V-Angle...

I think the Maus will be better at speeds over 40... My DH starts getting VERY light over 38... It was better with NiMH, but now with Lipos... it's going well over 45mph, and I can barely keep it on the water...

In fact... I'm racing it this next weekend with the weight of an extra 6-cell pack in the middle, just to try to keep the nose down...

"With great power, comes great...", well.... great aerial maneuvers!!

[Darin Jordan]

OK Tom... It's on the mail system now... Let me know when it arrives...

[SJFE]

[Darin Jordan]

Awsome... MAN, you can't beat the USPS for shipping speed... Seattle to New Jersey in 2-days... Not even that... I just dropped it of Monday afternoon!!!! NICE!

OK, it's in your court now... PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES!!

My new Hextronic 120 got here today along with the hull. Tomorrow the hardware should arive. Took a trip to the LHS and stocked up on connectors, wire and other build items I was low on. I have moved out of the dining room and into the kitchen. Got a new 24x48 table. With the 33x33 I have a nice area to get messy now. I will finish setting it up tonight. Maybe post a pic.

[SJFE]

The hardware got here in short order. More great servise from OSE!!!. I used the TF for the SV. The replacment should be here with in a day. I look to get some work done tonight. Looks like I will have the evening alone due to the fact MrsSJFE got home from work this morning and don't have time to sleep before we go out today. Just me my tools and..hmm maybe a couple cold ones:). No more than a couple..I can barey be trusted with power tools as it is:D. I will post what ever I get done.

[SJFE]

As you can see I made good progress. This is the first time I have worked with SpeedMaster hardware. I will be buying this stuff for every one of my future boats. The quality is great. The ease of install was a dream. Tabs, fins, electrics and I am in the water. I am not rushing. I could have had the servo in and bullet connectors installed on the motor but I was getting tired and I tend to want to take short cuts. I may get to some more tomorrow.
