Your MG that started off as a hull

[tagasagwan]

Very nice set-up Shawn! Clean!

[skyman]

Crash vids? That I gotta see!

Yeah! I spent the morning looking for a nice 1515 for Ed's upcoming Mg29 build. I found a Bnew cc1515 2200kv for $120.

I pushed Ed in getting a MG29 hull and Canopy over at Phil's. Then after he got one, Phil's increased the price from $152 to $170ish! hahaha!

i bought it at the right time, thanks to you. not only did the price go up to $175 it went out of stock too. either they don't carry a lot of these or there is a huge demand for them.
oh, and thanks for spending your morning looking for a motor for me, i appreciate it very much!

Hi skyman where in California are you, if your near the southbay area you should go to legg lake in el Monte from June 19th to the 23rd the fast electric nationals are being held there at the best boating lake I have seen. Plus we have a great little club called socal electrics, I have a mg slightly modded with a castle 1515 1y and a t-180 that flies. The one thing I advise to change asap is the hatch for a grp one the original one shatters to easy.

i'm in fresno i try to make it to the bay area about once a month.
so i should change the canopy to a better one? what does the grp acronym represent? any pics?
which motor mount are you using with the castle motor?

Chiefy44 is right! That plastic canopy cannot be trusted specially with a upgraded electronics. You've seen the new turbine canopy design that Shawn and Jason are using right? Those are made of fiberglass and cool looking too! Just like the real Geico racing cat! I know Mardon sent a extra turbine canopy to Jason in Ca. If you're interested then just coordinate with them.

i might be. is that the same one chiefy is referring to?
well, i haven't met jason yet. yoohoo, jason, where are you?

Those are TP 1820kv motors.good for 60,000 RPM and 2500 watts.

srislash, if you're trying to impress me it worked. what boat is that? and look at all that fiberglass/cf. man, that is beautiful!
are you using 2 ESCs? where's the second motor? i don't see it


Should I have bought the Turnigy 180A ESC instead of the HW Seaking 180A? I think they are the same product aren't they? I had free shipping and 5% off

I had to do alot of editing on this one.It is probably a hackjob but it is my first.Just waiting for it to finish on YT
I got my last 1515 for about that but I fluked into it.I'm always watching locally.Alot of the guys say they are too much power in a R/C car.

Well Ed,follow along with me.I got my MB dialed.

And here is the vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO93a...=youtube_gdata

did any water get in when you flipped your boat in that video?

MG Fiberglass Turbine Canopy

Hello Ed,

This is the fiberglass turbine canopy that I make.
Im sure Shawn can add more painted pics of the canopy which he did for himself as well as for Jason.

Features:
- 2 turbine ports
- riveted windshield frame
- lowered windshield profile that could be cut to use clear/smoked acrylic
- hatch hinge details
- 2 air intake details

[tagasagwan]

Ed, The Turnigy 180 or some refer it to as T-180 is just a rebadged HW Seaking 180. It just the same. T-180's are the hobbyking version. I told you the MG29 will be out in the morning! Good thing you got one! hehehe!

Oh Yeah! we haven't heard from Jason for a while! Maybe he's busy building his new toy? He got his new ekos with twin 1512's. hehehe!

holy mother of god macdon! very nice... you guys are really into boats aren't you?

tag, yea i figured that much about the hobbyking products. hk even has their own branded flysky gt3-b tx/rx

[srislash]

Here you go Skyman



This is a Fightercat Shocker twin powered Carbon Fiber hull running 25 volts and 5,000 watts of power.To give you an idea,740 watts = 1HP

Here are the only turbine canopies in north america

That canopy was conceived thru this thread, so Im kinda happy & proud with the few guys who have contributed to it. Hopefully there would be more projects conceived here.

[srislash]

I still want that scoop canopy

[macdon]

I still want that scoop canopy

Better give Jason a buzz - for good measure it went to Cali already!

[tagasagwan]

That scoop canopy is now in Ca.

i know all about that second pic, tag has sent me the pic before... miss behavin's your's shawn & #99 is jason's right?

can't water get in from the 2 port holes at the top?

what size is that fightercat and does the hull & canopy come like that w/ fiberglass/cf? very nice

i think my favorite so far is the fightercat color & canopy, beautiful

[srislash]

The FC is 37" and is another custom by myself.I kept it simple to retain the CF.I put a lot of clearcoat on that.I smoothed the seam so that the sides are flat.I run door seal around the inside of my canopies so water doesn't get in much.Here is my build thread http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...hawn-s-Shocker

And the turbine canopies are sealed so again,no water.

[tagasagwan]

I'm just wondering? Will a t-600 work on a 32" cat? Hahahaha! I still have two Feigao 540 10XL's but you know! Twice the cost! when you count the esc's and drives. I have a T-600 and FC motor/esc mount coming in a week.
