55" Segad Gas to FE build...

[Rob DeAngelis]

We won't all love each other bro. Some people just won't get along...best to just stick to the boat and the people you do get along with.

When do you plan on running this thing? Are you going to get some video? It looks like you do decent work based on the pics of the boat...I'm looking forward to seeing how she runs.

thanks man... I should run this weekend... thanks for noticing the work.... have you seen danas awesome rtr botes???? they are sick!!!

I'm looking at this thread and I'm thinking...WTH! How did this turn in a bash party? Danny has been very lenient with you guys. Show some respect for others on this forum. If you don't agree, and can't be courteous; don't post. Take some time and be thoughtful before you post something negative. We all come here because we enjoy the hobby and like sharing our experiences and knowledge. Keep your discussions civil.

well here you go guys.... im only on 8s to start but it rips.... I wonder what 10s will do!!!! hahahahahaaaaaa

Cool!
Did you read the data logger when you were done?
I'm curious what kind of current you were pulling, and how the ESC responded in terms of temp rise, ect. I have two of these ESCs going into a 41" cat and I plan on pushing them a bit.

[Rob DeAngelis]

I will have that info soon... I was using bw wons esc...

Interested in some pointers, or just looking to figure stuff out yourself? You look like you're doing fine on your own, but if you want comments/suggestions let me know.

[Rob DeAngelis]

I do... thanks again man

Looks good glad it went well just needs a little fine tuning but why at the end it sounded like it reved out and was not moving ( for time frame around when you were talking about the 8s ) it could of been just my speakers though for some reason there was alot of distortion on my end Chris

[Rob DeAngelis]

thanks man...

Good job Bro. Happy for ya.

Looks good, a bit loose perhaps, but with some tinkering, it should settle down....Question....what was with the last few seconds of the vid....it was just floating there..hope everything is OK...any idea on temps for the setup?

[Doby]

Never mind...drive dog issue...duhh on me for not reading all the posts...

[Rob DeAngelis]

my drive dog came loose "again".... no biggie... temps were low on the next run that I ran out the batts @ about 5 minutes... I will have the data log up soon

Cool...if thats on 8S, I'd be afraid of keeping it on the water on 10S....its hauling some serious butt the way it is...

As this thing obviously has some serious speed potential, have you considered adding expanding foam to most of the open cavities in the hull? If used properly it can add a lot of structual integrity (as well as flotation) and can help prevent cracked/folded hulls in the event of a flip etc at those speeds....just some food for though to help keep it in one piece. I foam all my hulls the great success and no issues..

[Rob DeAngelis]

thanks for the info... today was kind of a rush / get it in the water deal... but as for now i have some noodles in the upper ends of the boat... def going to work on some flotation as well as set up...
