Suggestion!

[westbeach]

Since we get a lot of new members joining in the world of FE boats, I thought a page dedicated to boat setup's would be great for quick references. Makes it a little easier than doing a search sometimes.

for example only,

Delta Force CyberStorm (since I have one! )
Motor: Neu 1515 - 1.5Y
Esc: ETTI Race 150A with cap banks
Hardware: Fullers Mono stinger
Rudder: Speedmaster
TurnFins: Custom made
Trim Tabs: none!
Lipos: 5s-6s (rips on 6s, 5s for sport running)
Props: X642, X645, M645, X447/3
Speeds: ??

We can have one for catamarans, monos, hydros, etc....Thoughts anyone??
We would have to keep the thread locked by a mod only to be viewed. But everyone is welcome to submit their setups and pics.

We have been after Steven for a long time to create a form that we could fill out with boat setups for users to view. I guess he has not figured out a way to do it.

More suggestion guys, specially those who are just getting your feet wet with FE. What else would you like to see listed? And for the seasoned FE boater; we would love to hear what other ideas/suggestions you might have to contribute. This is for the wealth and knowledge for all.

I would like to see more info on the electronics end.

Max. wire lengths (why)
Caps (how to choose) (how they work)(where to buy)
How to choose proper esc for motor (amp draw of motor)
I think you get it.

I also 2nd a sticky COG thread. Covering all types of hulls. I think this is one of the biggest areas that newbies (gas, nitro, electric) need more knowledge. This needs to be covered in depth to teach new boaters how to calculate their percentage.
