Recommendation for stable rough water boat

[floatsonwater]

Some of the videos claim to be running 6S on the stock motor at cool temps. HK said no way, it will fry it.

Do you have a part number for the 3/16 one piece shaft you got? Sounds like I've got some work to do.

I am not yet perfectly happy with my drive, but here is what I did. I purchased a .150 flex cable with 3/16 prop shaft (part number ose-150L). Then I heated the stinger and knocked out the 4MM bushings. This is a very small stinger, I don't like it at all. I was using a drill press to press in the 3/16 bushings. As I heated the stinger and pressed in the first bushing, it swelled the stinger housing. Ideally, there should be two bushings about 1/4 inch apart, but at this point I quit and decided to go with just one. Now, after about a dozen runs, there is wobble at the shaft. My recovery plan is to try this again with a single stinger bushing, which is longer. If that does not work, I will have to replace the stock stinger with an aftermarket one, which will have a different bolt spacing. I am in a little over my head here because I'm just a modeler, not a machinist.

The primary reason for doing this is to get a longer shaft for larger propellers. I saw in the Kintec web site, an extended 4mm shaft with a threaded end and square drive. You could live with this, and just use a piece of brass tubing to shim it to the 3/16 prop hub.

Hi, floatsonwater,

Did you get the Princess yet? Please post your results. I have received the new stinger bushing but have not had the time to install it.

Yes, I just finished putting it together last night. What a royal pain in the but. Directions are useless (not even for this boat) and nothing seemed to want to work right. Going to try and run it today, stock, with 3S batteries.

Great. Also, observe the cooling lines for kinks, especially above the rudder.

Thanks for the tip. I did notice that was a bit tight by the rudder. I was already wondering if there is an upgraded rudder. I hope I have all the cooking lines hooked up right. No directions on what's input/output on motor/esc.

Zooma, Started a new thread on the Princess with review/video.

I have both an Impulse V1 (Leopard 4074 1800kv) and the HK Lucas Oil Outerlimits (stock 3650 2000kv). The HK Outerlimits is a few inches longer then the Impulse, but, I believe it's the bow design that allows it to perform better in rough water at my lake then the Impulse.

So I’ve just purchased a Triton 32“ n I’m having trouble setting up the electronics on it, were do I put the battery n the ESC, I was thinking of putting the battery on the left side of the boat were the selfrighting chamber is n the ESC just in front off the motor on the right side of the boat, look forward to hearing from u Kipper........

I built a Triton NoStep for a customer to be used with a 4S2P battery configuration - tight quarters but I stacked the ESC on top of the motor mount [custom mount from RearwheelinRandy] -triton 1 DSC02723.JPGTriton 7 DSC02781.JPG
