Update on my progress or lack there of....
Here are my pictures of my current hardware setup, sorry they turned out a little blurry.
I am still having issues with the boat porpoising at speed. The boat is plenty fast, and turns now without hooking, but the constant bouncing makes it difficult to drive and keep from flipping.
Here is the current setup:
3500kv outrunner
30A Mystery ESC
7.4V 1600mah 18C PolyRC
Hitec HS-55 servo
.98 flex cable x .125 propshaft
x427 SBP
Homemade brass strut with brass tubing- positions propshaft same location as stock out-drive only higher.
Homemade aluminum strut and offset rudder bracket that places the leading edge of the rudder even with the trailing edge of the prop.
Homemade aluminum rudder 1 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/16" sheet metal.
I may try shortening the rudder extension to bring the rudder closer to the transom and see how that works.
Any ideas on how to reduce the porpoising would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad
