Use some FC ESC's!

Lol I would but I need to stop spending money! Haha There are some new 50$ 150amp marine esc's from himodel I have been eyeballing but I want to know who makes them before I buy them!

[Boaterguy]

what about T180's? hopefully they are in stock soon.

[Jacked1]

I think they are at hobbypartz but that would be close to $400.
I might split the motors and use 2 outdrives in a big cat for next summer make the hull.

I'm going to test some out as soon as they arrive. They look promising!!

The ebay guy from China renegged on the deal for both of the 1400Kv T600's on Ebay. I got my money back thankfully but, do not buy these motors or anything from this ebay seller!!!

excellent_model is a scammer it seems, or he is just screwing up. He relisted the motors after re-negging on the deal???

I heard Ben is getting a 60" mystic, that would go along nicely

[Jacked1]

Yea those look like they are good! I found out that Maytech is going to start selling them, I dunno if maytech rebrands them or they makes them tho?
I think either way I am going to have to wait untill next summer tho to get this running again because school starts not too long from now.

Looks like my local industrial supply had to source shafts from mcmaster Car... LOl..Figures... now just waiting for them to come by next Monday or Tuesday... I hope.

[Jacked1]

I just saw the 60" mystic comment and that sounds insane!! I am guessing like a scaled up daytona/genesis hull?
And I am going to go ahead and order the esc's and get this think moving.
Have you received your's yet Ray?

[ray schrauwen]

The shafts I ordered should be in tomorrow I hope. I didn't call today to see since they get so busy.

I've got a pair of 880's and a pair of 1400's. Should be fun experimenting.

[ray schrauwen]

How long of a taper did you grind on the end of the shafts to ease them in?

[Jacked1]

That sounds good! I am going to put my 880's on one shaft after I finish up my my mean machine.
And the taper should probobly about a cm back and a mm deep at the end. It is all just to make sure the end of the shaft doesn't get bigger than 6mm when you tap the end with a hammer since they are press fit.

[Jacked1]

This thing is going to be a triple! I went ahead and ordered 3 of the new 150amp himodel esc's. I figured the extra power, batts, and weight would be a waist. And 9 kilowatts should be plenty to hit 60+.

[ray schrauwen]

They have other HV esc's for running 6S+ the 120 amp 4-14S is only $97 or sumthing?

I should grab a pair. Don't forget the program card in the airplane esc section. It's used for both I figure... So it says...
