BBY's Conquest build

[TotalPackage]

I guess youre stuck with your european vernacular lol .Go get you a guide: Simple Eubonics for Europeans 3rd ed. All that knowledge. Just a dash of eubonics and he's toast Im country get over it.

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

you laid out those stats like we were supposed to be in devine awe . I was wondering about that big rig you rattled off. Whats the purpose of a 10000 dollar plus setup thats not the fastest? Just for the scale of it?

Anyway whats up with the build Randy?

Hey Randy read this:

I am new to fast electric boats ... I know speeds in the 40's is slow for this size boat, but I am having a problem with the flex shaft overheating. The first run was a bust ...the boat was filled with smoke, the teflon liner was in two pieces, and the flex shaft came out bent. The video is of run no. 2 where I re-straightened the shaft, and used a lighter lubricant in a new teflon liner and the temp at the low point in the bend was 162 degree F ..no smoke. I am wanting to try a ball bearing grooved thrust washers to see if that reduces the friction in the stuffing tube hence lower the damaging heat. Besides that the boat seems heavy at 19lbs but safe on my 5AH batteries in 2p with 10min run time.

Hey Randy read this:

Sounds like he isn't running with a gap between the strut and the drive dog and with the cable shortening under load it is in tension and pushes against the Teflon a lot more than at no load.

Well it is about done Just have the receiver and oiler tanks to do I think I will be making reservoir for each side. I wish I had more room then I could just put in fuel tanks on each side.

Well packing all the batteries in to the boat, then fitting the ESC and the oilers has caused me to build a inner platform to put the ESC on over the center rear set of batteries. A ton of velcro was used ro make this convertible in a small space. Unbelievable this I considered this big boat to be small for the total equipment.
Hear is is with out the oilers and no reciever yet.


Oilers in not every wire hooked up just a test fit. I am going to have to make a Styrene inner hatch I will form one tomorrow morning.

"but dont get too fly yall boys running neus too" Make sure you and others are not getting too Overconfident/arrogant running NEU motors. (this is my take on the slang, the original could chime in on any errors
