Been 5 days since you got the motors.....drill any holes in the hull yet?

I have the hull, motors and the rudder for this boat, no more The rudder is an Arrow Shark, perfect part with 4 water inlets in the blade, and two arms for push-pull mount. I just add a 150mm bracket, the blade is 150mm long.

hi,

maybe an obvious answer to this, but, why is there a link between the 2 batt packs?

I don' t know how this deep vee will be on the water, I hope it will be fast with autonomy. If autonomy is insufficient it' s possible to add a 3rd 10S pack (2x5S). The speed should be enough with 34400 RPM unload... Do you have an idea about propellers size?
Hervé made those motor mounts, I modified then because of the water jackets 68mm long. Flex cables are 3/16"





@ Jason : there a link between the 2 batt packs to help batteries having the same voltage during the run. those straps are here to protect packs. I jnow that some people aren' t agree with that for me this is a good thing. With those links you run with a big pack 10S-12000mAh.

The only advantage of linking the two lipos, is if one lipo is weaker the motors will still have the same or equal power.

its recomended to link the battery packs when using twin motor setup the inside motor takes a lot more current on a turn not too bad if you are running on your own you can run both ways to balance the packs
