Seriously frustrated this week. The 200 amp logger isn't working, The spark arrestor I built does not arrest the spark on 6s. Thinking about selling all this MISC stuff and just getting a Zelos 36 or something.

Made some progress with a solution for securing my battery straps, and fabricated some aluminum tabs to secure my hatch. Added 2-part foam to my hatch and sanded everything in prep for paint. Finally!!

Decided 2 coats of clear is sufficient for now, want to get this thing wet after over a year. Starting to put all the pieces together.

Switched the rudder mount to the Starboard side of the bracket giving me just enough room to sneak the flex cable past the rudder. When I had it setup inline I would have to disconnect the rudder blade and pushrod each time I have to grease the flex. Bent and cut a pushrod, and installed all the hardware on the transom, getting closer!

99% buttoned up, need to cut a slot in the flex shaft to secure the drive dog, program esc, and leak test. Travelling this week for work, so a little bummed I have to wait some more to see if I am successful.

Came up with an offset rudder solution this weekend, but now I can't get my Seaking 180 to respond. Have previously hooked up 3s and 6s batteries to test that the servo is working correctly and that the end points are where I want them. So I got all that settled and went to pulg my EagleTree unit in along with the 6S2P and nothing is happeneing, no beeping form the ESC, no motor movement. I had plugged a battery in earlier in the day and it was fine. The lights on the EagleTree also were on. I have since pulled all the EagleTree items out for the time being, still no response from the ESC. I reset all the stock parameters on the Traxxas TQi controller I am using, that didn't help. I am going to try the throttle range calibration tonight. I hope I don't have a dead 180.
Caps all look good on the esc and on the cap bank.

In my experience the Enamel paints take too long to cure fully. You must recoat within 1 hour or wait till that coat is fully cured (sometimes even after 4-5 days I would get peeling / cracking when trying to recoat)
I have heard and read that Lacquer you do not have to wait for curing to take place, but I have not tried it for myself yet.NEVER SATISFIED RACING
