Your MG that started off as a hull

[macdon]

Hey guys,
We're fine. Stephen got flooded but I dont think water came in their house. They did get evacuated but since they have a condo unit nearby the move wasnt that hard. They were fearing that a nearby dike might overflow or worse - burst, so they had to move out.
I know stephen went boating last week Sunday, I didnt as it started to rain that particular Sunday. Stephen stopped by my place after boating for chat but rained continued thereafter.
Classes in all levels have been suspended last Monday and even the government offices were suspended till Thursday - the rains stopped by Thursday but 60% of Metro Manila were already underwater so classes and some offices were still suspended up to the weekend. No typhoon and no storm, just daily rains that basically didnt stop for 2 weeks - almost 100 died, millions evacuated and thousands have their cars and houses underwater! Weird weather indeed.

For obvious reasons, Stephen was unable to join our boating group today - so hopefully we'll get to see him by next week Sunday. I got to talk to him this morning and he said he would be returning home by this coming Tue or Wed.

No worries Jerry as I gave Stephen enough pointers if by chance another flood hits their area - that he should run upstairs to their 2nd floor, open up a window ............. and he can launch his rc boats from there!

Hi guys!

The flood has subsided but the water level at a near by river is still too high and hopefully the dike will hold. we're still staying at our condo. my shop was close for 3 days. I wasn't able to fix my engine and go boating yesterday. hopefully next Sunday I can go to the pond. My stryker topgun2 that Jason sent was supposed to be delivered last Saturday but it was cancelled due to flood in our area. hope you guys are all good!

Hay guys i need some help,, my 32'' vhull is making me alittle crazzy to the point im ready to just float it out there and shoot it with my AR-15,, you have all heard my story about it being my first boat and ive removed the origianl brushed setup and replaced it with the MG setup,, 1500 motor and 45a esc, well like i said before it ran great and quick till it broke the Original MG plastic prop, i had another and replaced it, then that one broke ao i installed a prather 220 and it blew the esc but i had another and melted off one of the motor connectors, i thought i blew it too so i got a Turnigy 120a esc and threw it in and now its not as fast and tork rolles,, i got the PB SS prop thats the same as the plastc MG prop i broke and its still the same.. I noticed that my strut was negative alittle causing the nose to go down so i modified it up alittle to be more level with the hull and havent tryed it yet but if it dosent run wright this time it may not make it back from the lake!!!!

First of all,you know those PB motors are 6 pole.I am not familiar with the Turnigy ESC's or the programming.
Don't give up on her yet Jerry.These monos can be difficult.Ask me how I know. Where are your batteries located?Center or on the sides?

[tagasagwan]

try putting your prop in neutral and your cg at 30-35 degrees and start from there. adjust your batt's position if necessary until you get her tuned in. if your using the turnigy esc. program it to your preference via the program card. it will make your life a lot easier. higher poles needs more advance timing. i'm not familiar with pb motors so check the manufacturers recomemdations on timing.
