These are a few pics of how my 1 of 2 motors will be strapped in. I made them on CNC Press Brake. and a shot of my toys and garage as well

which hull is that? Nice mount, that motor doesn't look like it will be coming loose, and if its aluminum it will also act as a heat sink.

Its actually just a cheap plastic 36" cyclone boat off ebay. yeah its aluminum and turned out very sturdy both ways. when I mount it for a run im gonna put this rubber around it so aluminum doesnt conform to motor and let motor spin. the hull has been re-inforced A-LOT.
Some of those cheap boats from ebay do look neat to gut and mod. I got a cheap SH knock off from ebay. My dad works at a metal shop so I have access to loads of metal working machinery.

You know what would complete this build is a left and right hand decal of OSE's new logo.
wow looking good, is that a t-rex heli?

I hope you dont mind I moved your thread. SJFE suggested a boat building forum and I thought it was a good idea. That way your build doesn't get lost so easy in all the regular posts. Thanks for sharing your build with us!

No problem. If that is the case you could always shorten it as well if you want. I have bought everything for this build here at OSE except the hull. I will continue to post as I finalize things and a couple vid links when I get her wett! should be done with build this weekend.
these are 10XL motors X447R and reg. props... My second motor is in, also servo, and other strut.
wow that looks sweeeet gonna be fast too
60% of the time... it works every time!
Jesus that thing is gonna fly like a bat out of hell. What is your estimate on speed?
working at the beginning with Mr. Fuller and Chris Fine, estimated around 65 but I dont think tis gonna be quite that. we will see i was supposed to get 2 stuffing tubes from fd which has been 2 weeks now. Be glad their is OSE!
How many cells are you running to each motor?

I am going to start with a monster 6cells lipo each 20C. I will see if the motors get too hot and back off if needed
Make sure to share some video. Its going to be a screamer. I would like to put my estimate in for top speed. 55mph with x447's.

Yeah it's a NewQiDa X-Cyclone from CycloneToy, I also got one for 30Euros (40$) on Ebay!
It's my first boat!
I first upgraded it with 2x600Race, 2 pack of 9xGP2200 80Amps ESC home made hardware, see the video here:http://perso.orange.fr/pleindetrucs/index.htm
I recently purchase a Feigao 8XL to put in with 10 or 12 cells!
CHEAP TOY!
Here are latest pics. second set of tubes as I used a tubing bender on these and an alarm clock on 1st set. Also pictured is my Y harness for speed controllers. Other than 2 hydra 120's this built is complete except for a few nut&bolt tightening. When I get the hydras I tune & Film. Sorry for blurry pics.
wow 6cell lipo per motor !!
i think you mean 6 cells nimh. and lipo.
cool project.
I will say 22.2 Volts 20C which I believe 100Amp constant for 1 minute and check temp.'s. I will video so you can either see motor melt through hull or a yellow rocket across lake of glass
woooo
looks awesome!
yes. and the sticker on the battery is not always right.
you should not draw even Half of the C value when useing the batteries if you want to have them for a while.
2p or go home.
and don't get max amps cells
OK, excuse my ignorance, because I am still learning, but what is that C rating that I always see, and what is 2p? I guess you saw my other thread, where I plan to run twin 8xls backed up by lipos. I'm not sure what voltage I want to settle at, but I want to start off with 14.8, and then see where it goes from there. What kind of lipos should I be looking for? Should I be putting more voltage than that into the motors?
C=capacity, a 4000 mah has a c of 4000 mah(or 4 amp hours). 10c(10*c) would be 40amps.
2p is 2 packs in parallel(4ah + 4ah which would yield 8ah @10c 80 amps safely)
Ok, now it all makes sense. Thanks.
Hi guys,
Need some advices
Would you please take a look at my boat on http://perso.orange.fr/pleindetrucs/index.htm, it's the same as Mich.Maniac but the 2nd video shows my new setup (just first tested today) with 1xFeigao08XL 2 packs of 12xGP2200, cheap Mystery 80A contro. and the rest is home made!
best result is with K40,5 prop.
Tell me what you think about it, I feel like there's a little issue, prop seems to be over-cavitating for the first few seconds after I push the throttle up!
Steven is this the first Feigao you've ever sent to France? :D
could you post a pic of your hardware? or describe?
the motor is linked to the propshaft with 1" of 4mm flex, the propshaft is supported by 2 flanged ball bearing in an aluminium tube, the axis of the prop is right at the bottom of the hull V, the "bad thing" is that the rudder is in the center line 1" behind the prop, the prop is 3.2" behind the transom
that is looking awsome!

So are you running 24cells in series to the 8xl?
Not the first shipment to France. I have a few customers there.
