Your MG that started off as a hull

[macdon]

Brought Tagasagwan to the pond this Sunday to make sure that he runs today - he had some trouble with a connector on his first run and I had a esc prob on the 2nd run of my F1 tunnel. However, inspite of the windy conditions my MG performed flawlessly and I really enjoyed running her today!
While I was running MG, Tagasagwan went to my side and told me - "Imagine, if that is a 37" Cat"! Oh yeah!!!!
Lets just hope work commences on the 37" Cat this week.

I also got to talk to the seller of the Osprey and it has a short video. This is the actual boat with me right now powered by a 3674 1900kv motor, skywing esc (bad rep), 5s and 45mm prop:

Running a little wet from how it turns.It's kinda diving into them.Just a little motor in there eh,not bad.

3 factors for that:

1. under power
2. wrong setup
3. bad hull design

I cant be sure if it has any lineage towards a DF - somehow they look related.

I think if the cg was right and cell were back some and trim tabs up,
It may not move to bad once it gets going.

Yeah, im fearing it might be a bad setup - wrong cog, that kind of thing.

That T600 is haunting me hahahaha! Im an inch away from ordering via hk hahahaha! Tagasagwan lent me his bnew Zippy 5000mah 45c 6s batt - so all I need is the motor (and probably a few stuff) and Im good to go.
I got to scrapped off most of the resin off the boat - I will also need to remove the wooden partitions from the inside, so we could apply new fiberglass for strengthening.

1.) put a huge outrunner or a 5692 inrunner!
2.) Replace those crappy wooden mounts inside the hull and Find the right CG.
3.) That's not too bad! let your magic work on the hull for some cosmetic make over!

Just my 2 cents!

Motor? Wait till I replace the bearings on my KB45 motor and try that as starters. Then buy a new motor if you want. At least you get a chance to run the boat.

[lenny]

Thats what I would do,
Work with what you have on hand,
Then see if you need more stuff.
The t600 where like $35.00 at first, When the came out.
I have two of them, But have not tried one yet.
Was going to put one in my 36"Shockwave and see what happens on 4s2p first.
Hears one for sale, But not cheap yet. http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...p?32146-Motors

That'll work!
But dont you think its faster to order fr HK, wait for about 2 weeks to get here? Isnt that faster than you replacing 2 bearings? hahahahahaha!

$35?!
Yeah, I saw that in the for sale thread.
Its about $60 in HK.

Lenny - let me know if you wanna part with one. Maybe we could do a friendly trade or something ..........

[tagasagwan]

Oh! I have the bearings! I can replace them tonight and you may pick up the motor tom. Hahahaha!

Really?! So that means I could print out your reply, bring it to Monsignor and hold a mass in your honor? hahahaha

Seriously, lets itemized.........

Hull is being sanded as I write this, I have the T180, 6s batt and complete running hardware - so actually this could run this coming Sunday?!? hehehehehe!

[lenny]

I forgot that it had the resin on it,
That could have added a lot of drag to and not let it plane.

Is that 37"Cat & hatch done yet ??? And what are you going to do with that 42" ?lol

Maybe we could do something.

[macdon]

Ahem! Ahem! Are you forgetting someone?

Oh! My apologies then...........ok let me rephrase that..........

Ah, Lenny ............... if you can part with your 2 T600, Tagasagwan would be willing to buy both and give the other one to me!

All good bro? hahahahahahahaha!
