BBY's Conquest build

[RandyatBBY]

Manuel Hi

I must say that that video is impressive, Very fast long runs.

I was a one bend guy for the longest time and still am for the most part. It may be a different Teflon you guys use than us.... possibly??? If it was not for every Gas/Nitro guy I know does not use it with 1/4 drives. It was my 1/8 Scale boat that had the shaft weld to the stuffing tube and changed my mind.

No worries about the Spam, I just wanted to make sure you were not miffed.

Randy,

Take all what you here with a grain of salt. It may all cloud your mind. You built me the finest and one of the fastest oval racing Riggers I have ever seen or owned. You do amazing work, mostly from what is already in your head, and from the hundreds of builds already under your belt.

My opinion, under the conditions, and the large motors, you will see little drag with your S bend stuffing tubes. I would not use a liner in this case. Just support the stuffing tubes well, as you have so ingeniously designed.

Continued success and all the best.

Jeff Lucca

Thanks

Hey Randy,

had some time to think about it, and I think I may found a "solution". Could someone please post a photo of such a rigger with Oval setup?

And I really think its also a question of quality. For example concerning 1/4" shaft, here you can easily see the good ones, they have a single brass wire in them.
This is a link to a photo of Modellbaucenter-Lorenz:

And I hope you are not "miffed" too (had to look up the word in the dictionary ). I'd never say that it won't work as you build it and I think it will work very well without any problems. Its just from my opinion and experience that a smooth single bend with teflon liner should work even better.

Best regards,
Manuel

We need to ask martno1fan if he can find the thread on Jim's Boat dock and post a link to this information.

I woke up at 4:30AM this morning, could not stop tossing and turning thinking about your reply. Then I read your most recient reply and went back to sleep.

How many Millamps are they running per bank in that video?

Off topic, but I am putting together a BBY carbon boat Randy laid up for me. It is all painted and done now. I am simply putting all the hardware back into it. This is BY FAR the best boat I have ever had. I tried it before the paint job and it was AMAZING on 6S. The whole build has taken me a long time, but it was well worth it. Randy is a genius!

P.S. I will post pics soon!

The one curve is less drag im sure but how good it looks is a matter of opinion. It looks good to me hands down beside any rig Ive seen.

NO, it in the large cable it winds up and causes intermittent points of touch and with the S bend there is one less so it is less drag. This is waht I was told by my buds in Nitro.

And thanks guys the props really make me feel better. Is that Ray with the SC33?

Cool I am putting a XTM 1/8 motor in mine as we speak to test and see how it works. Cool seeing on the board. You should hook up with my bud Properchopper and run with him.

hmm thinking of how the cable would act as is restricts they could be right Looks like you better go on and tune your 233 you got 30 series lehners in yours too hmm. And speaking of neus I'm sure me and all the boys on ose and nue can put together an international SAW event.Now one thing I can say about that teflon liner. It will kill unwanted vibration that will rob rpm but I also can see where it may be a problem in a s bend config depending on the bend radiuses. Far as cables go Ive always ran hughey cable and they are some of the best period. Im also sure if Randy made some theyre sone of the best.

Ps Manuel I love your boats and I love the euro scene but dont get too fly yall boys running neus too lol

Hello,

@ Randy: They are running 16.000mAh packs on EACH motor:

http://www.hpr-powerboats.ch/cpg149/albums/uploads/hpr_233_drambui_herrms_details_105.jpg

(one of these packs is around 12pounds, makes ~24pounds of battery overall)

@ TotalPackage:
Could you please write "but dont get too fly yall boys running neus too" in other words, can't understand what it means and translater/dictionary couldn't help me either.

And for the rest:
Don't get me wrong, but for the S-bend everyone here talks about the "I've heard, that...." thing. I don't doubt that it works, I think its just not effective in twin-cats with motors in the sponsons. What I can say is, from my own experience is, that I run a >100mph twin-cat with a quite hot 12S setup and it just works great with 1/4" flex and teflon liner. Does get barely warm and also absolutely no problems with vibration. I had also the luck to see all three cats on the world that actually run >125mph live and they also run 1/4" flex with teflon liner.

So this is just a recommendation, what you do with it (ignore/dislike/follow/comment/discuss/...) is your own choice.

Best regards,
Manuel

Hello,

any new progress on the build? And another question, which ESC's you will use with the NEU's? Can't wait to see the full layout!

Best regards,
Manuel

@ TotalPackage: I still don't get it

[RandyatBBY]

I will be getting back to the build soon, I have had other builds that needed a little of my time. the ESC's will be Schultz 40.160.
