Cool! Are you going to have batteries charged this time? Did you pull the hardware off of the Viper?IMPBA: 7-Time FE World Record Holder "Don't think outside the box. Rather, refuse to admit that the box exists in the first place!"

The warrior should make her maiden voyage with her new Feigao motor.

My lipo for the warrior is outside charging right now too. Unattended as you can tell.
I can't leave till it's done, because it's on my car battery.
...so let's make it 10:20am OK?Last edited by Diegoboy; 03-21-2009, 02:23 PM."A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough."

Great run for the No Step 1!!! Ran great and even made it through a blow over. And much, much faster than the BJ. At least for now.
I guess I have the mono flag!
Next time we'll have to GPS it! Maybe I can hold the fastest title until these riggers hit the water in full force.IMPBA: 7-Time FE World Record Holder "Don't think outside the box. Rather, refuse to admit that the box exists in the first place!"

That's right! It was cooking on Nimh!
I'm sure the GPS would have said 112.7 mph. LMAO, sounds like one of your GPS numbers Diego

OK, we weren't thinking at the pond!
The No Step 1 has a 7s 540 size Feigao in it. Here's what we didn't think about:
The motor is 5070kv. I shoved two fully charged 6-cell Nimh, Intellect 3800's,in the hull. I think you know where I'm going here.
They were in series!!!
5070kv times 14.4v = 73,008rpm!!!
Can you believe it!!! Only cooked one cell on one of the Nimh packs. Thing is, the ESC didn't get hot and motor was warm. I guess I should have checked the temp on the driveline!!!
It handled the first run, no problem. Second run, slowed a little when the batteries seemed to die. That's when we opened up to find the one cell bulged.
I'm thinking it's a good thing we could only come up with the smaller prop at the pond! LMAO. Good thing I decided not to put the lipos in after the first run! Can you imagine how many amps the CC Barracuda 80 saw?!?!
So, this goes down in the book as one of the funniest/stupidest things I've done! And the electronics made it! No harm, no foul, just need to replace a cell in one of the Nimh packs.
Tell me that is hilarious!!!!
See if I'll listen to advice at the pond again! We really should have put the GPS in it for this stupidity! Or at least hook up an EagleTree!!!!
