Mause Bullet Build

[SJFE]

THANKS.Yes it was right on the money. After cutting the first drive cable to short and makin the second one I found that out. It's a damn good thing I keep plenty of extra prop shafts and cable around...

Nice job. Nice thing about the glue method on shafts is that the cable and shafts are easily reusable.

Heat... I think the Loctite releases at about 280 degrees... Just hit it carefully with a propane torch...

After doing the math I am going to break down the set of IB3600s I build into 2 5cell packs. That will give me just ober 28k for rpms. I will test it Saturday after noon. Getting ready to head out to the kitchen soon and finish up.

Thats better.
Maybe start with a X438 or 440, get her dialed in and running free, check temps frequently!! Then prop it up if you can!!! Hang on!!!!!:D
