another mean machine set up

[bustitup]

I ordered this motor cooler for my 1515 and 1512 neu's....will it work on my feigao 9xl?

how do I program the himodel 200 8s version or do I even need to?

how thick should I apply the grimracer grease on the flex shaft? and how often?

should I solder the end of the flex shaft before crimping the flex hex on?

please look at the pic and you can see I have two input cooler feeds...one on top of the rudder and one lower right in the picture...then you can see I have one output tube on the port side of the boat

please give me opinions on how you would route all this add another output or use a "T" or "Y" inside the boat?

No one?

Grease should be apply after every run or every other run.

Flex shaft ends should be soldered to avoid unravelling. But if you use a flexhex, you can get away without.

As far as the 2 pickups, I would take the one off the sponson and just use the one on the rudder. I would also gut the hull and install an adjustable motor mount. Then place the electronics on the tunnel, and tape the hatch shut.

do you put that blue grease on pretty thick?

thanks for the responce cal

[calcagno45]

I make sure its on there good enough and just wipe off the excess...

[bustitup]

OK
I'm thinking of starting off with the Feigao 9xl on one 5s with x442 prop....(because I cant see myself pushing the boat out into the waterfor the first time with a Neu motor in it)..LOL

suggestions?

also here's my attempt at 200 amp cooling mod

[bustitup]

heres a picture of my rudder hardware I have about 4 to 4 1/2" rudder and a read here that you should have a 5 1/2 rudder to be stable in the turns...is this true or am I ok?

if I do need the longer rudder can I still use the harware that is attached to the boat and just buy the rudder only?...if so can you link me to it?

ok I took everyones advise and removed most of the old gas fiberglass over the tunnel....i'm ditching this mount and fabing my own mount....little more sanding on the tunnel and clean with acetone then I will lay down the carbon cloth over the tunnel and install my new mount and wire this baby up....the o-rings and silicone sealant worked real nice mounting tne kb45 cooling can on the cc neu 2200 brushless....I used 400deg sealant ...I should never get hotter than that you think?

I'v got the front of the motor at 9 inches off the back transom

I put the hull in the pool today and the auto bailers just let the water flow in like crazy.....are you mm owners plugging these up or what....... I know the bailers will let the water flow out when shes running but there will be times when the boat stops out in the middle of a pond.....I'm guessing the water would rise about 3/4" above the tunnel

[calcagno45]

Take them out and seal the hatch with tape! No water in at all!

[bustitup]

well I been pecking at her and she's real close....motor is mounted nice and tight....tunnel and motor mount are fibered in real nice and solid


very close to launch time

[bustitup]

Ok just got back from running it but used a Turnigy 180amp marine esc

it handled so beautifully but could get no speed or rpm...... definitely got something hooked up wrong

gps was only 23mph and I'm thinking one of two things that I can think of

#1 had the esc timing set to 0%

#2 don't know if I bound the new tactic 2.4 tx properly and not getting full power even though the trigger was pegged

any ideas?

Did you connect the batteries?

[DISAR]

What prop.? Your batteries are good? Reprogram the ESC, all parts. Does your shaft spin easily by hand? Is your coupler fixed tight? Make sure the batteries are connected right. These are some points to consider, there are more... like faulty motor or ESC but these are the last ones.
