New system installed!

[Megabiker98]

I got my tacon 4074 2150 kv, t-180 installed. Everything 5.5mm bullets, 2 2s 5,000 mah batteries, but as of NOW my main concern (not huge) but my rudder linkage boot has a little tear on it, if it happens to flip will water get in through there? How would I replace it when I do as it seems connected to the hull pretty darn good!

You could use it as is and put some rtv silicone or goop on the tear for now to run it,
Than you order a new one and when you want to replace it just take out the old one.
And add a piece of tube to the hole and ca it in than put the new one on the tube with ca.

Ok, will it let any excess water in until that point? Or is it just more of a looks thing?

Mine was CA'd on I plan on installing a tube in the hull that the like this

That link wouldn't work for me???

[lenny]

Same hear on the link,
What coupler are you using in your setup that is not holding the flex shaft tight ?
Have any pictures of your setup and boat and hardware ?
Also I set my LV to 2.8 on the seaking 180a and packs come in with 3.88v a cell.

The stock proboat coupler....how did u know it wasnt staying tight??? 😮 And I'm not sure if it was just because I didn't tighten it enough or not. However I was making sure I tightened it though!!

Fixed the link same photo as Lennie had of my boat build

[Megabiker98]

Wouldn't that let water in if it flips over though???

[lenny]

I had to fix my stock coupler to on my Mystic,
You can take it off and the motor and clean out fingers with sand paper,
Or a cutting wheel on a dremel, But go easy on what you take out.
I ran mine to day and it ran very smooth and pretty fast on 4s2p,
Shot some video of it, But it did not come out to good this time.
I had the zoom set in a little to close to say with it.

What do u mean by the fingers??? I'm might know what u mean but an not positive!?

[lenny]

No,
You still put the boot on the tube.
Instead of through the hole in hull.

When the outer part of the coupler is removed, the inner part has gaps and the metal parts that clamp the cable could be described as 'fingers'.

What do u mean by the fingers??? I'm might know what u mean but an not positive!?

Install brass tube then slip a new boot on and zip tie it on. So simple it's ridiculous

[lenny]

The brass piece,
See how it looks open.
