zipkits fe 33

[MarkF]

Yea we have the class here but it doesn't run much if at all. I got this boat as a fun to run on our Sunday get togethers for something fast to have for that need for speed. I have run some riggers over the years but all of them took a lot of tweaking to get them to run right. This boat i set the strut to 1" and flat to the bottom and eye balled the turn fin and the boat ran smooth as can be so this is a very easy boat to build and set up for 6s and even 8s I would say would work too.

I was able to get a 6s 5000 mah compact zippy in my fe33 by thinning the battery tray and raise the back cover about 1/4 inch.

[rol243]

yes a 6s will fit inside the jae-33 tub when the raised battery tray is either reduced in height or removed.

[MarkF]

You can get 2 6s 6000 packs in the ML 380 boat with room to spare and no mods needed.

I am mounting the strut on my jae 33 and not using the zipkit strut. what is the dimension from the transom to the back of the strut? thanks

urbs00007, are you sure you have a 2200 kv - t.p. 3650 motor ? they don,t seem to make that size. they go from the 1900 odd kv to the 2350 size no 2200 in the middle.

My motor is at 3630 2220kv but measures 36 x 61.

If using a speedmaster style stut , the distance from transon to rear of strut is appox 2 inches. if you have the stock short angle strut mounts you use a small block of wood about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inches thick glued to the transom for a spacer so the strut sticks out the rear to this distance mentioned.

This is a new ML boat works rigger I'm building. One pic shows 2 5s 6000 packs in it although 2 6s 6000 packs will fit too. The other shows 2 4s 5000 and how much room is in this boat for equipment. My Castle esc is on the side next to the motor.

Certainly plenty of room in the Tub Mark. how are the 4s packs wired ? for 4s or 8s ?

[MarkF]

I run the boat on 6s. The 4s are for looks.

can you show that back cover modification?

[urbs00007]

yes a 6s will fit inside the jae-33 tub when the raised battery tray is either reduced in height or removed.

if it's removed, how do you hold battery in?

[rol243]

use Velcro and glue in some side rails to hold the battery from moving left / right.
