MHZ Mystic 1380mm build

[nata2run]

Hello Everyone,
I thought I would start this thread as I have the Carbon/Kevlar 1380mm 54" MHZ Mystic on order including hardware. Should be here next week or so.

The plan is to keep this one on a semi budget but make use of my Lehners (2250/5 D on 5s) or (2250/8.5 Wye on 8s) May be a bit on the short side but I'm not looking for TOP speed at the moment 130-150km/h. I would rather spend the time to get a nice build and paint job, and ofcause have some fun on the big lake.

I havent desided on a theme yet, but I quite like the Lehner colours for the inside of the hull (black purple & chrome) so lots of carbon, anodized aluminium & polished steel.

If anyone have any ideas, please share so we can all learn something.

Do you have the drives yet? The new click drives are really nice! Similar to Christians drives on his turbine HPR.

Those are nice, but they dont ship to the US.

[liteumup69]

Sure they do, I just got a set of there professional line couplers in the mail today, 8mm by 6.35 or 1/4 flrex

Ah, I guess he's selective then - this is the reply I got when I tried to order the drives:


I don`t send this parts in USA. Sorry.
I transfers your Money back.

Mit besten Grüßen / best regards

Hmmm you should have known what was on my mind and told me yesterday lol
Man, I really like those. I couldn't figure out, do they have ball bearings installed?

So do these have bearings?I'm still aquiring information for my winters build.It may have gotton bigger now.

I would ever only build what I can fit on the back seat LOL. RPM wise I'll be in the 37k on 8s so it should pull a 50' something prop. 140km/h would be nice.

Just ordered, SAVOX SC-1251MG Low Profile Digital Servo. Should be ok

MHZ external antennas are nice, clean and removeable!

I'm using the small version that I got from a forum member should work great.

These are not just ok.. they are great i have 3 of these used for my boats . Good call on the servo i would say!

Thanks Felix, I ment great

[jkr]

Thats the appropriate length!
Definitely my next project.

[Espresso]

What exactly does this mini antenna do? I've seen these on some boats while I've also seen a really short antenna tube. For the spectrum MR200/MR3000, the exposed antenna wire is only like 3" long if that.

[bruiser77]

It does the same thing, just a clean and removable external antenna mount that will extend the range. A must for carbon hulls.

[srislash]

So how does it work with a co axial cable/antenna wire?

[bruiser77]

It's got a washer with a eye to attach the rx antenna to the external antenna lower shaft that attaches to the hull.

[Espresso]

So your Rx wire itself remains in the hull or is it threaded through the loops on this MHZ antenna?

[bruiser77]

The rx wire stays in the hull and the external antenna with the loops is what is removable after running/storage.

Hi

Do you use this kind of antenna with a 2,4 ghz radio ?
- I thought that was a bad idear.

I use this with my 40 mhz radio. And it's realy good and comfy.

Best regards Henrik

[bruiser77]

I hope it works with 2.4, thats what im going to use it with. we shall see.

[nata2run]

I love the idea of a removable antenna, can someone confirm it works with 2.4ghz?..... Maybe I can get an extra long antenna and win the "INCH" game over bruiser LOL 2" short damn LOL

[srislash]

What are you guys comparing now...
