recommissioning / finishing my HPR 115

[StevenBryant]

I like the MBP clutch collets, no need to grind a flat on the shaft, the MTC collects are also nice

Yeah, I looked into getting them but couldn't get express shipping...

Well, it was almost complete, stbd is all done but my port side, as per my other thread I have a bolt that's a hair too far in and its rounded the head.

need to try and get it. out before I can run it.. everything else is good to go. just refine the CG and shaft heights.

Hope you get that sucka out. If not then the slot should do it. I’d say a light tap on a nut driver sometimes shocks the screw loose but I wouldn’t with the epoxy in there.

Yeah, thinking I'll be buying a dremel tomorrow...

Just so tight, not much room for anything.

OMG!!!! You do not own one yet? How! Why!... They are simply invaluable. And for lots of things

I responded with my tricks in your other thread about the stripped cap bolt. You can try a little heat by the way of a soldering iron tip on the cap head.

Managed to knock it loose with a punch / hammer.....

Now the next hurdle, tried to program the ESC tonight, plugged in the battery and voila; smoke straight from the ESC.

Im trying to persuade them to repair it or if no progress by Wednesday morning ill order something new.. probably some MGM's. this 'quick cheap rebuild' is turning into a lot more than I bargained for...

well at least from now on it will be known as "k-19 "

Holy carp!!! I thought these were good res! Mmm

well it did sustain some damage years ago but it was fine...

(a drive snapped and damaged it)

Now my options are I guess a MGM controller or?

[StevenBryant]

MGM 28026 for 6s or MGM 25035 for 8s I use the lite versions fully water proofed...

the MGM 25035 is what ill probably get... I do have one other option (don't know if im allowed to speak about it on a public forum) Will update when I know more...

I know someone who will buy your esc if you decide to sell them, the 250 are great esc.

Another plot twist... I was having issues programming my 'good' esc while I work out what to do... anyway, I had to reverse the throttle to get it to set right.. took a while to workout.

I'm currently in talks about my ESC situation, I might have the option to get something a little special and rarely seen but ill keep that quiet until I'm allowed to let the details out...

I did plug the 'damaged' ESC, after checking it over on the laptop and seeing everything was fine... plugged it in, programmed it and it worked fine... gave it the bathtub test, left it plugged in on 6s for 30 minutes, no issues... no smoke?

Now do I run it for now? I know its a different ball game spinning a 2250 to a bench test and would hate to burn the rest of the boat...

I will still hopefully get these 'special' ESC's as now im all giddy and back into it im already thinking about how I'm going to get my boat over the 100mph mark... i think the 2250's are more than capable, just need to figure out 7s or 8s to get there?

Some pics of the finished boat...
