Hello all!
I need some advice for my first RC boat build.
Right now, I'm aiming at this configuration:
HRP 135 bulletproof.
Motors: 2 x SSS 56104/1000kv
ESCs: 2 x HiFEI 300A 15S
Lipos: 2 x 12S2P (8 x 2500MAH 6S)
Props: Octura x470 downsized to 60mm
Servo: Power HD BLS-2809HV Servo 28kg 7.4V Brushless Digital
Everything has been ordered so please don't suggest any changes (yet ;-) ).
I have some good ideas for motor mounts design and drives (now deeply looking into high perf. lubrication and thrust bearings).
Will share more info once "work-in-progress".
Also planning to do a High Def. 3D scan of the boat as Hanspeter has no 3D plans. Who would be interested to share the costs?
I need some advice on three topics
1) What glue to use and where to supply? (Looking for local sourcing my European friends)
I have read this:
http://www.easycomposites.co.uk/#!/r...-adhesive.html
https://www.rockwestcomposites.com/m...ools/adhesives
http://www.rockwestcomposites.com/ck.../adhesives.pdf
and I'm thinking either going for the VM100
or

or

or
http://fr.rs-online.com/web/p/resine...epoxy/1757858/
(all these links are also available in English)
I have good knowledge on how Epoxy glue works from a mechanical point of view but very poor chemical knowledge.
Any idea on which one I should go for? Black would of course look better. Anyone with VM100 experience?
I'm looking for facts if you have... (see the PDF, you have Mpa resistance).
I will use this glue for [SS, aluminum or carbon] to carbon substrate.
2) I'm planning to fix batteries/ESCs with glued inserts and M5 screws. So I can easily dismantle and change parts.
Thinking of using T-nuts with 5mm carbon sheets to glue at the bottom of the boat. Like this:

After looking at hundreds of pictures, would like to know if you have any simple but strong way to fix an M5 (or M4) insert (and what type of insert).
3) Cooling
I need to cool down 2 motors and 2 ESCs. On most setup similar to the one I'm targeting, there are only 2 water inlets (one on each side).
I also have 2 pumps ready just in case. Now my question is, do you have a diagram of your current cooling system? I should have one water inlet on each side that goes to the pump and after I use a "Y" to feed one ESC and one motor? or put everything in series? Do I really need a pump?
Thanks in advance for your feedback/help.
Cheers,
Francois
