(retry)my brushless super hawaii project..

[eclipse]

ok im going to restart lol

Ok so I am building a super Hawaii brushless boat. I bought my SH at my local hobby shop. It was sitting on the shelf gathering dust for about 5 years and I told myself one day I will buy it. So about a year ago I decided to buy it and I bargained with the people to lower the price so I managed to lower it down to 80$ amazingly. That same day I put it together and ran it and I said wow this thing is slow so the next day I decided to run 2 battery packs (o yea it had the mechanical speed controller) and I gave it full throttle and it was almost twice as fast. I brought it out to the middle of the lake and I heard a loud skipping noise and my boat stopped waited almost an hour for my bout to drift back to the bank I took it apart and the gears where totally stripped and the bushings where destroyed. Thats when I decided the brushless project is on. So basically it was sitting on my shelf for a year until I finally decided to start. Here are pics


what I am starting from

Ok so now I just put in the foam and holly cow that foam makes the SH super sturdy also really heavy and it didn’t fill even half of the boat I think I am going to need one more kit lol that boat is huge. Here are some pics

The kit--



in rear of SH




the hole where I poured it




the front is not even full

[Dr. Jet]

Stirdy? Apoxy? Seald? Balenced and sharpend and...? Awsome? Throtel? Stoped? Skiping? Basicly? Untill i finaly decided?

Aren't you embarassed? Please don't tell me you vote.

[eclipse]

made a new water outlet to look more original







on off switch installed in rear instead of top

[eclipse]

ordered some parts from ose and waiting for them to come

[RCprince]

you need a strut, and rudder or studder...that one you have looks like the first revolution of the motor and it's toast.

made a motor mount for a 540 sized motor. its adjustable.





New servo mount. I didn’t quite like my custom one so I took the mounts of an old tmaxx and glued them in. it is also mounted a tad higher

Product ID: kb-45
Kb Brushless Motor Details


KB XL(Extra Long) Motor.

There are 2 versions of this motor, the regular length and the Extra Long 77mm Motor. This motor is the Extra Long 77mm motor. At 555 grams it has enough physical mass to produce large amounts of torque to push the larger 35-45" boats at high speeds without a gear drive. No more having the hassle of having to use a gear box in boats of this size range! Also running the motor direct drive to the prop is more efficient than using a gear box.

For a limited time, Add a Water Jacket for only $14.99!

Pick Winds/rpm: 11 Turn, 1000kv

guys please don't mess this thread up .thank you

[eboat]

This is a pic of my KB beside a 8XL
They are both the same length but the KB is much bigger around

For the same money and a $9.95 coupler in a 36" boat

That bushing could do with a replacement, dont reccommend running a brushless setup in the boat with the strut in that condition, as a matter of fact I would'nt reccommend runing any motor setup in that boat with a bushing like that. Other then that I think the new thread is a good idea, I lost track of the whole project half way down the second page.

[Dr. Jet]

(wait .what? were do you see all those mistakes)

Were do I see them?

I cut and paste them from your posts.

[smm_cbf]

lookin better than last time, good job

[oldshovelhead]

looks like a good turn around on the thread and work.
keep your focus, read and reread answers to your questions.
read, reread, and reread again, then double check before you post.
good job

Eclipse, I said I would not respond to your last thread. But, I see you have tidied up your act in this new thread. PLEASE review all your last 16 pages and understand people are trying to help you. All your direct drive motors and ESC choices are wrong...Ask some people who have run LARGE (36" and up) hulls on their experiences. In fact with cash being a premium, as I understand is your case. I would have left the boat as is and looked at previous threads to make the boat faster and learn how to run a boat. Next time buy a bare hull.
