New system installed!

[lenny]

Boy That is a pretty boat Jim.

[Megabiker98]

Ya it is a nice boat, and I am at dinner right now I will look at mine when I get home!

[Megabiker98]

Mine doesn't have a brass piece?? I'm assuming that is a problem! Hahah here's. couple pics of mine.

[Heaving Earth]

Yours doesn't use a brass insert

[lenny]

No,
The brass piece is for a different coupler.
Mine is like your to, But mine is black,
The finger slots look wide on your coupler.
Mine where pretty tight,
How tight did you tighten it up when it slipping on you ?
Double wrench in one hand ?

[Megabiker98]

I could have sworn I tightened it pretty darn good!! Can I see a picture of what u did to urs?

[lenny]

I just took it a part like yours,
And than modded the fingers so they would close more on the flex shaft.

[Megabiker98]

I don't know, since this was my first time with this problem, ill keep an eye on how it holds next time I drive it and if its coming out then ill fix the problem! It quite possibly could have been me just not tightening it all the way.

[lenny]

Have any pictures of your setup and boat and hardware ?
Or any video's of it running.

Ill get a couple uploaded right now, no video yet, as I don't have any good cameras that I can hold while I'm running, all I hae is my iPhone and that's kinda hard to film with, should have some around Mother's Day though! (Long time I know) As to hardware, stock rudder, strut, pretty much everything except the prop, and electronics. Ill get some pics now

[Megabiker98]

The prop is a sharpened and balanced octura x642, I'm THINKING about getting an m445. That's most likely gonna come after I get a new transmitter to replace stock. The strut is set level with the bottom of the boat. Haven't had any chances to dial it in yet, when I went out today it was choppy, and my run time was cut in half due to the lvc as explained earlier

[lenny]

Yes on the m445 and modded some.
Strut look high,
Is it set level with the sponson's on a table ?
And the cell set them where the boat rails ends, About 1/2 passed the motor mount.
Your are to far foward and will run wet.
Than try it and like that, Than move them 1/2" towards the bow and try again.
If your running 4s cell try them at the motor mount.
I just posted a video of mine running form today.

[Megabiker98]

Ya last time I set it up on a table it was level, ill check again tommorrow morning. And I am running 2s packs! I watched ur video, can't wait to get mine to an open lake!!!!! My local pond is pretty compact!!! What prop do u have on urs?
Edit: yep strut is set level with the sponsons on a table

[Heaving Earth]

Bring the strut up 3/16 higher than level

[Megabiker98]

HIGHER? ok I will try it! Hahah
