1/4 flex with step down to 3/16
1/4 bullet nut

[Steven Vaccaro]

1/4" flex shafts, struts, motor couplers
* I have those items now. hughey 1/4, speedmaster 1/4 stinger, octura 1/4 couplers.

8 AWG silicon fine strand wire
* I've been searching for 8 gauge silicon, but havent found it.

big controllers (Schulze 40/160)
*working on it.

5" rail motor mounts for Neu 2230, 2215
*ok

water cooling for 2230
* I have only been able to get 1 of these motors out of Neu in 6 months. Its on the board, but at the bottom.

rudders for 44" - 50" boats
Got them now, speedmaster.

finished props in 55 - 62 mm range
*Finished props are slow at best. Email me and I can forward you to a good balancer.

big chargers (iCharger 1010B+)
*maybe

big servos
*ok, whats the better ones out there?

Futaba FASST radios
*na, I'm a Hitec man

MG Chemicals silicone conformal coating

*dp-270 kicks the crap out of the scray, the spray is for lazy people. lol

But it also holds the heat in.

Congratulations Steven!!

I'd be happy to sit on the board.

Steve will have to make sure that "board" has a rusty nail in it.

Only if you use a ton of it, the spray will NOT totally protect your esc or rx. I've done actual dunk tests. Esc's and rx's will run while under water with an epoxy coating, they will not reliably with the spray. But I agree that if you are worried about heat, use the spray. Just dont count on it being water proof, just water resistant.

I don't like spray either. I bought one quart of this stuff in a jug. It is useful for dipping ends of LiPos to waterproof them. I brushed it on my receiver board and it went diving couple of times. This coating can be easily removed with acetone and a tooth brush. It's also flexible and allows circuit boards and components to expand without cracking.

The reason epoxy worked better on your receiver could have been due to frequency your RX is made for. If it's 75 Mhz or 27 Mhz, then having extra thick insulation kept water further away from tuned circuits on your RX. This helped to prevent de-tuning of your receiver due to water's conductivity. On my 2400 Mhz RX, tuned circuits are so small that thin silicone coating is enough.

Also, I would like to add EagleTree boat wireless logger with 300A current sensor to my items wanted list i posted earlier. I found that V3 logger even with 150A option is not big enough to use in large electrics.

How about this one from Medusa Research? 200A also available with wires intead of Deans. Looks like the eagle tree but at 200A. Any experience?
115$ for the complete package
1 Oracle Data Recorder (MR-DR-60100 or MR-DR-60200)
1 Temp Sensor (MR-TEMP-001)
1 RPM Phase Sensor (MR-RPM-002)
1 POWERLink USB Adapter (MR-USB-001)
w/USB Cable

I would 2nd the idea of NEU batts. They have some new ones you can charge at 5C. PolyRC's are good but too expensive and I HATE the way they treat the balance wiring as well as the Thunderpower tiny balance plug.

[sailr]

Zippy Rhino's! Ouch. I'll pass! We want to keep Steven in business! Just order those direct from Hobby City!

Hobby city is doing very wel I think. All the zippys they bring (500-700?) they are all gone within a month or less. This is from what I see on their site.
