Was that speed on 5s or 4s?

to Darin on this great cat.


I still have to post the vid I have of my apache saving my MG. Solder joint on my batt came loose left the mg stranded... It must have been a late night because when i removed the heat shrink that solder job sucked Im surprised it lasted a year like it did. I must have been drunk soldering again "shame on you diesel "

How smooth is the PB esc in this compared to say a Swordfish/Turnigy?

Is it more like a Suppo or Hacker with less steps and not that smooth?

Just curious...

I just bought the larger octura coupler with the two set screws, man, it doesn't look like it will fit without trimming the flexshaft housing. It would need to be shortened up a bit.

To be honest with you it is really not that bad. WAY better than the SV 45amp esc that's for sure. I didn't notice any hickups or issues. For a RTR esc it's gets a

Ready to go.

Mines all ready to go. (with correct flex drive) Since my friend has one I had to add some color to mine just so they would not look identical. Day glo orange monokote trim. Is it bright enough now !!!! Will be running tomorrow. Hopefully with video of both running together. Printed some different decals also.

Thanks OSE for the quick shipping.

OK... FINALLY got around to doing some prep work for the Miss G for Offshore Racing...

Pretty basic. Fist step, Get the sponsons flat, true, and sharp.

After block sanding just a tad, it is obvious that filler is necessary, so used some Evercoat light body filler and a flat spreader and filled in the ride pad surfaces, then block sanded once it was set. One pass was plenty. They flattened out nicely.

Next step was to sharpen the edges. To do this, material needed to be added. Again, using the same filler, I used some pieces of aluminum angle, that has perfect 90-degee inside corners, to spread the filler along the inside edges of the sponsons. I trimed down a piece of angle to make it small enough to spread the filler on the trailing edges of the sponsons as well.

[Darin Jordan]

Once everything is setup... block sand, block sand, block sand... get the inside edges and the trailing edges as sharp as you can. I didn't spend any time on the outside edges with the filler. I think they are OK as is for now.
