aeromarine meanmachine

[dhan]

good day...need help guys...aeromarine meanmachine or cheetah which one is better..and need adviced if this will work..Product ID ros-spdss-002 and rudder Product ID ose-83347...dont know if that longer flat bottom strut is better than this one,Product ID ros-spdss-001..but i need adviced from expert or having a lot of experienced about this..tnx and more power

[SlickZERO]

I have a MM that came as nitro and I converted to FE. I got rid of the RTR hardware. For rudder I used OSE Dual Picku[p ose-83347. May seem a little large but I love the way the boat handles. My water cooing lines are the OSE 1/4" and the wall is fairly thick so I had to use a dremel cut off wheel and cut the angled flange next to the 2 nipple off. Easy to do.
For a strut I used ros-spdss-001 Speedmaster 21 Strut: Hydro. I think it works great and plenty of adjustment for height.
I have a TFL Cheetah/Fighter Cat on order. Will be about a month before it is in the water.

First of all welcome!
Then, we need to know what you’re looking to get out of your project.
Straight line speed, racing ovals, or sporting around. What speeds, what motor, etc.

The MM and Cheetah are wide boats and good for oval. Narrow boats are good for top speed. In my Mean Machine I have a 3674 1300Kv on 6 cells and a M445 S&B Prop. I run 2 - 6 cell packs 2700 in parallel. The boat runs just over 45 mph and everything is not hot and runs 10+ laps. With a M545 S&B it runs almost 50 mph.
We "race" for fun at a friends that lives on a lake. We have private beach with buoys set out about 2/3 NAMBA size. Most of my friends have RTR boats that run about 45 mph so I stay with the M445 prop. A buddy has a Veles 29 cat that if he tries to take the corner as sharp and fast as me it will roll. The wider MM stays on the water and just keeps going. With a higher watt motor 4074 or 4092 and different set up guys run them 70 mph. My friends are more into cutting a good line and "racing" around the buoys than all out speed. Different strokes for different folks.
Hope some of this helps.

39208462_309076409651302_6356795264459603968_n.jpg need epoxy to solve this.....any thoughts what to do first or do i re glue..tnx

[boatsrnew2me]

return it comes to mind .once you start any work on it it yours to keep.

[rol243]

The wood piece is to stop the deck from warping down. looks like aeromarine are not as good as they used to be in quality builds.

The hairline gap is also on mine, never was an issue, the hull is epoxied well. The only thing which I didn't have was the wooden brace, it might have been a reaction to certain issues they have had and was just a solution, although not too elegant.
Don't confuse this filler with epoxy.

This is normal, I bought one 6 years ago and the filler is the same. I asked at the time and other members replied that it was not abnormal. It is sort to the touch.

slow process..hoping no mistakes..dont know if this is ok what i did..
Any advice if 1/4 stuffing tube is better than the 9/32 with teflon liner..

[SlickZERO]

So far all the boats I have I run Teflon liner. However you will get people swear by both. I am building 2 Zippkit JAE 33FE riggers. They will be 1/4" tube with .187 shaft and no liner. I asked Zippkit about this and they said they don't use a liner on any of their boats. (They hold a ton of records).
I hear that a liner is quieter, but on high speed, load they can cause a problem. Brass is pretty fool proof. Grease it up and go. Polish your cable with either, especially brass liner. 600 wet/dry sandpaper with WD40 or similar. I chuck the motor end (which you don't want to sand down anyway) in a variable speed drill on slow. Let the shaft hang down vertical and run the sandpaper up and down with the drill running slow. I then spray with auto brake clean (happen to have some) or similar to get all the grit and metal off.

tnx bro....so do i need to sand it down the flexshaft?and if not what will happen...any issue of water coming from this 1/4 stuffing tube

[SlickZERO]

Whether you use a liner or not it is the grease that keeps (most) of the water out. If you take a new shaft and feel it, it isn't really slick. If you run a tissue or paper towel down one sometimes there will be some very tiny burrs that catch the paper. The soother the shaft the easier it will turn. I don't think you have to "sand" it down any real noticeable degree, just until it is slick. Remember not to sand where the motor collet clamps the shaft. You don't want it any smaller and harder to clamp.

so this is my 2nd test and now i used 4s2p and m445 balanced and sharpened..got 83 kph.

Tnx slickzero for the tip...and to those friends who gave me adviced tnx...

Looks great nice build! Gotta love aeromarine hulls. I'm just ready to run my 48 pro challenger V hull on 12s. Get some cool paint of that hull it's a perfect canvas. Any colors in mind?
