just got the stuff i ordered (thanks for the quick shipping steven!)....im going to be soldering the bullet connectors to the esc and motor...but which style connector goes on wich item? do the femal connectors go on the motor and male connectors go on the esc, or vise versa? and just to make sure, there is no special order the connecotrs are supposed to go in? if the motor turns the wrong way, just switch any two wires and motor will be good to go, right?saleens7, the wookie of rc boatingComment

male goes on the motor60% of the time... it works every time!

well, i got the connectors soldered on....thinking i couldnt get the shrink wrap over the connectors, i slid the shrink wrap on the wire before i soldered (like what your supposed to do w/ deans)...well, the wire got hot enough that the shrink wrap shrunk on the wire and i couldnt get it over the connecotr....so now one of the connectors doesent have shrink wrap....and my soldering job was pretty crappy as well, so that didnt help...i also used a clamp (with plastic on the end) to hold the connecotr still...well when i was soldering, it go hot enough to melt the plastic inside one of the male connectors....theres none on the outside of the connector, but on the inside, some of the plastic is stuck inside...saleens7, the wookie of rc boatingComment

im thinking of just buying some shrink wrap for all the wires, but im wondering what the shrink wrap looks like....does it come in rolls like in the pic? if so, how do you make cylendrical wrap that wont come apart when you shrink it (like how the wrap you get w/ deans is?)saleens7, the wookie of rc boatingComment

Just curious, but why did you use JB Weld vs epoxy?Comment
-
i used epoxy as well, but i used JB weld on the areas that would require the most strength, JB weld is basically a very strong epoxy (there is an epoxy and resin you mix together)....saleens7, the wookie of rc boatingComment

here are a few pics of how the connectors ended up looking...i got the plastic on the inside of one of the connectors out....i just hope my soldering holds up
you can see the solder on one of the connectors showing, since one of the shrink wraps got stuck on the wrong wire...
and here if you look on the red wire, you can see the extra shrink wrap stuck on the wire....
im just wondering steven, the shrink wrap you sell, does it come in the form of a roll of tape like i see in the pics of all of them? if so, how would you make a cylendrical shape out of one if it will just unroll when you try to shrink it? im thinking of buying some of your shrink wrap so i can put some over the connector missing some, and so i can use some colored shrink wrap so i will know which wire from the motor goes to which esc wire....saleens7, the wookie of rc boatingComment

also, here are some pics of where i siliconed over openings in the hull
i dont know if you can see it, but on the last pic, the 4 "exhaust" exits (they are really ventilation) are filled with silicone, and so is the real exhaust opening on the left of the transom...saleens7, the wookie of rc boatingComment

guess what came in today!saleens7, the wookie of rc boatingComment

well.....after figuring out the polarity of the batts and trying to solder on the deans plug to the esc...i just cant get the wire to stay on the plug....i soldered it so may times, and held the wire motionless for a minute, the second i let go...the wire comes loose...like it wasnt even attached to the deans plug..saleens7, the wookie of rc boatingComment
