Shockwave36 Conversion build

[saleens7]

yeah, im charging it at .1 amps

about the female connectors:

are you talking about the deans plugs on the batts or the bullet connectors on the motor and esc....i have electrical tape that will work fine for that....

[Rex R]

bullet connectors(motor/esc), the deans plugs don't(usually) leave bare metal showing when they are plugged together. yup tape works fine for covering the bullets.

well the batts progreass so far is after 823 minutes, its charge is at 1452, 34.06v, at a .1 amp charge.....

[saleens7]

well the batts finished charging and i got the esc programmed....i bench tested it really quick (didnt go full throttle) and it seems the flex shaft vibrates....i think its coming from the prop shaft as when i rotate it by hand i can see it rising and falling every turn....ill take out the flax shaft and check it out as well as a few other places the vibrating comes from...hopefully everything is all right, although at worse i might have to replace the flex shaft....

[saleens7]

well i took the flex shaft off and it didnt vibrate....it only does when its on...so this tells me that its the flex shaft....ill buy a new one and see how it works out...

[saleens7]

wow, its been a while...and yet...no progress....i think i might be able to get the new flex cable soon though...its either that or a new front tire for my bike (barely has treads anymore)...i think i might get both though...

as of now, mountain biking is now my main hobby and RC boats have taken a backseat....

i hope i can get the shockwave running (right)...i still need a watercooling jacket for the motor, a thrust bearing, a new radio, and to watercool the esc....

as for the supervee, no progress either...all i need is a motor mount, flex coupler, and a tamiya to deans adaptor and it should be running.....

i just wish the funds were there so i could finish these things sooner...

and not to mention the drifter.....even if i use the batts from the shockwave on it, it will cost a fortune to set up....i dont know what ill end up doing with it, but there is a large chance ill end up selling it....

i think ill stick to smaller builds (if i even continue building anymore)....i just cant afford the big stuff...
