OSE 10s rigger build

[Steven Vaccaro]

This is our prototype 10s rigger with Castle 2028 motor, Swordfish 240hv esc and 2 5s Hyperion 45c 5000mah packs. Hope to get it in the water in about 2 weeks.

[pyroM!KE]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me wants one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ron1950]

that thing ought to hit high 90's at least.....glad i wont be anywhere around it when u run it lol

[Steven Vaccaro]

I'm estimating 70mph in oval race trim. If i hit that with a 14 pound rough water boat, I will have a huge smile on my face.

[ron1950]

bill 32407 ran 70.8 with a 47 in mono with 10s and the cc2028........

[srislash]

That is impressive.I gotta get another rigger.

[Steven Vaccaro]

bill 32407 ran 70.8 with a 47 in mono with 10s and the cc2028........

But he also ran 2p. I'm going to start with 1p and see where it takes me.

[Brushless55]

very cool man!
this thing is going to be sweet!

[LarrysDrifter]

The budget part was a joke. It suckered all of us here, didnt it? Now look, we re addicted. Steve is like the Marlboro of FE. Good luck, Steve. Hope you post results and maybe a video.

[Steven Vaccaro]

Where racing on a budget is a reality! Really?

how much money do you think I have into this boat?

[6BOOST]

how much money do you think I have into this boat?

I'm going to guess based on your ability to purchase bits for yourself a little cheaper and say $600-$800 without the hull?

And on that note, did you make the rigger yourself or is it based off a gas hull Steve? Can we purchase these? Been wanting a big rigger=P

Not including the radio and batteries less than $500.00

The motor was purchased at the old castle pricing, before the big price increase.
The esc is used, I bought it for someone for 1/2 of what they cost me.
Coupler, strut and rudder are from stock.

The hull is a test prototype. I wont be sure where it takes us until we get it in the water.

Looking good Steve Looks a lot like my old Roadrunner rigger being converted with a NEU 1527 .5 Y for saw.
keep us informed please

Steven any chance of getting some pics of the boat on the water?
I'd love to feature it in the calendar if you can get me some soon also a pic of the inside showing batteries and setup would be great!

Let me know.

Thanks

Steve;
what prop are you going to try on the first run?

If you are interested in using the ABC props, I can steer you in the direction of usage.

I'd love to know what you think for ABC?

I was planning on running a x457 or x460, but I'm open for suggestions?

Keep me posted I have a spot open I can fit it in if you can send me some photos!!
Also sent you a PM not sure if you saw I posted some pic of samples in my for sale thread.

Thanks

Steven;
use the 2214 and the 2314 props.
They have 78.232 (3.080") and 81.788mm (3.222") of pitch repsectively. BUT they have a hidden (so to speak) 4.34 inches of pitch
built into the trailing edge of the blades.
They are a more efficient prop then the octuras and you set them up with the strut being level.
Then you could go to a 2216 then 2316 if the amp draw is acceptable.

[Steven Vaccaro]

Thanks Carl!

Welcome Steven.

Steve, the ESC in that location may cause problems because of the looong battery leads. Cap bank or mount esc over motor and make a bubble hatch.
70 should be no problem.
Data logger a must at these power levels.
If you need info on how to convert the 150 amp ET to 300 amp in 15 min. let me know.

Would you let me know please?

Jim any news on that 150 - 300 modification?

[jcald2000]

On the wire lead ET, loop 12 ga. wire from esc side directly to batt. side bypassing the board entirely for both the + and - . This will bypass current, about 1/2, and let it run much cooler. In short, you now have a red wire and a black wire going from the + and - plugs on the battery side plugs directly to the plugs on the esc side plugs or two wires in each plug one set to the E/T and one set bypassing the E/T completly. I am using 8mm plugs! You now have a 300 amp logger!

Next you need to access a Clamp on amp meter, clamp it around the battery leads and run the system up under a load for 15 seconds or so logging the data and compare the amp readings between the them. The ET will have a reading of about 1/2 half of the clamp on meter.
Now connect your ET to the computer, go to "Advanced programing" click on "Calibrate volt and amps" and enter the actual readings in the appropriate boxes and save.

That all there is to it! Welcome to the 300 amp club! I have recorded 282 amps on rigger launch but the E/T only saw 132 amps because my correction factor turned out to be 2.12.

pictures please?
