Hi,
Im an Aussie which lives in Fiji as an expat, im a rather lucky sod who has a nice canal running in his backyard, its salt water.
Anyhow I cannot go fishing for marlin every weekend, and what not. There are limited things in fiji, no hobby stores or anything as such.
I miss running my RC toys at home, and i dont plan on bringing them here, my nitro truggies and boats will have to stay there, even if i did bring them here i wouldnt have a source of Nitro... I have a nice gas cat, but at 120cm long it will be a logistical nightmare to bring here.
For a long time ive been wondering about going electric so im thinking about building a couple of boats to keep myself amused on those rainy days / boring times when the wife isnt around.
Anyhow I would like to build a JAE 21..
But i have little knowledge about electics apart from my Helecopter, which i really know nothing about.
So the questions bearing in mind im basing my thoughts on what little research i have done.
Leo 3674 2200kv
200amp Swordfish ESC
Haiyan 5s 65C 5500mah
Start with H5-H7 Prop.
all the usual stuff i have already, DX3R radios / top servos, good lipo charger and so on.
I plan on running it my canal in my backyard, lol if im right, the above will make the rigger rather fast. in the 70mph bracket, and i would hope to be relaible.
Are there any pointers on running such a setup, like what size flex so i dont snap them every 5 min etc. Would the batteries not explode, lol and only last 30 seconds.
