Malibu1 Here is a build thread on a HPR , Might find some interesting reading there mate. Bonewar http://ssozonoff.blogspot.com/

JC, I think I am going to make the battery trays. I have to make something for it. If I don't make anything, then I can't justify getting a nice scroll saw! I will probably just make a holder for the Rx. Not planing on building a receiver box.

Well done. For that hull only the best would do

The boat will look killer with those parts. Are you planning to get any parts such as battery trays, receiver box, etc? I've seen some guys in Germany using carbon fibre one and they are a perfect match for that boat.

Got the parts ordered from AE. I hope they show up about the same time as the hull.

I really need to get some motors on order....So, should I get the 1521 1Y's or the 1527 1Y's? Also, do I want the 5mm or 8mm shafts?

I have read alot of threads over at RRR on the subject of motors. I see people getting 1515's-1527's. Not sure what to get.

I just got signed up on RRR after site was down. I can read posts but can't see pictures and site will not let me post even though I am logged in...

There seems to be some good threads on there that explain setting up the drives and stuffing tube mounting and such. Sure wish I could see those pictures.

Speaking about servo's, this is the servo I am going to use in the HPR. Its the Associated DS1015. Taking it out of one of my cars.

They are !
The other escs are from www.modellbauregler.de ,besides the Schulzes are these the best I've seen.
There is no need for dual servo's, unless you like the looks :-)
Kopropo's like http://www.rcplanet.com/Ko_Propo_Servo_p/kop30044.htm can handle the rudder very well
A lot of guys use the cheap Blue Birds Low Profile's and they are working fine

Those esc's look like krontronik power jazz 63v!

[Eodman]

Yeah I'm sure that's a great idea! At the speeds that they run and size of their boats that push pull configuration helps provide better steering control! Not to mention piece of mind!

[JCAustralia]

Check those servo mounts on the HPR06......

They use 2 servos drving the rudder. What do you guys think?

Cheers

Yep. 4.75 is 3/16th.
Yep, you need the low profile servo mount.

Well, I just found out that AE uses paypal so I don't have to pay wire fee's. Sooo, once again I am changing my mind and going to get the motor mount kit and a servo mount from AE. They suggested a "low profile" servo mount. Hope thats the right one to get. I asked him to send me a link to his website so I can see which one he is talking about.

For the Flex shafts, Hanspeter is going to send what he called Flex tube messing with teflon. I also asked him to send a CF bulkhead. Wired the money today so hopefully he gets it.

On another site I saw that the Flex cable was described as 4.75 cable. So is that a standard 3/16th cable? (.0870 vs .0875in)

I would remove material from the doublers, not the hull.
Nope, no decksupport needed in case of a bulkhead

[tiqueman]

yep, the small parts are transomdoublers for extra strenght.
The other part is a decksupport. Meant to be placed under the deck, close to the hatchopening, to connect the tunnel and frontdeck.

So for the transom doublers, is it better to shape and profile the doubler to the hull, or modify the inside of the boat. I ask this because I read a post somewhere about removing material to get doublers in and it made it sound like people were removing some of the "inside curve" to get a nice fit. And thanks for the placement on the deck support.. makes sense. If you were to build a bulkhead, would you then not need the deck support?

Question: Some of the battery plates have a large hole in the middle of the plate with a hogged out run going from the hole to the front of the battery plate. Kind of like a raceway. Are people glueing "bungs" to the bottom of the batteries and then inserting the bungs into the holes and sliding the batteries up the raceway. Kind of like a quick release battery holder? I hope you understand what I am trying to describe.. Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing?

Also, as for the carbon parts that contain the motor mounts etc. The 2 smaller pieces, Im assuming they are for strut support? Whats the other piece thats rectangular that seems it would go on the tunnel somewhere and has 4 slots in it????

EDIT: I think I just answered the question on the batt tray slots. In the hull, permanently fixed is 1 of 2 parts. The batt has another piece velcroed to it. The piece that attached to the batt inserts and slides into the permanent tray so it is adjustable for your cog?... Am I right on this?
