Okay all, quick updated

placed a order for the following...

Leher 2250/7

Still a few things on the shopping list to go.

Nice, we are on the same track now! Haha

Fun thread!


Thanks for sharing!

Final pieces of the puzzle are ordered,

Hope I have everything,

Radio and charger arrived today,

Batts and motors in the next few days....


Dusted off my old widows PC and connected the ESC, emailed the manufacturer about a setting guide (program is in German)

That pic came out a bit small;

Anyway. 8mm to 4.75 coupler
waterjackets for 2250
Hatch tape
Antenna
water piping.

Well the 2250's showed up this morning,

mounted the battery trays, did a little bit of tidying up, the hull needs a wash to be honest.. it's sat for years in storage.

Plan to install an additional motor support,

Whats the usual method of doing this?

Mount the motor, put the mount in place, epoxy ? I was thinking about using some 6x6mm carbon square tube to increase the surface area of epoxy, maybe file it a little to meet the angle of the mount? or would I be better off with some cloth?

I just use epoxy and glass powder and tape over with carbon or glass.

Got the hatch all lined up and ready for drilling... will give it a go tomorrow.

Also the SLS Lipo's turned up with my 6mm new bullets so soldered the motors / batteries up.

Used one of them tools for measuring spark plugs to get a uniform hatch gap...

So since I've decided to give this hull the proper attention it deserves... I had long time thought that I'd got a fibreglass hull (originally ordered carbon Kevlar) and got a black hull... found out it's actually a full carbon hull so that kinda made my day...

Anyway, got to thinking about paint / graphics, nothing really took my fancy so thought about combining the graphics from my other boat... the Azimut Atlantic Challenger....

What do you guys think? theres a site online selling the complete graphics set so id just ask if they could resize a few graphics to make it fit better on the HPR, the challenger is about 1.3m long so it should be a fairly good fit hopefully.

I think that looks good.

Here is today’s run on 6s with same motors. A bit rough out there but the HPR handles it decent

BTW I clocked 80mph yesterday on a bit better water.

Black / Yellow, Black / Orange , Black / Turquoise ...

Good to know, How are run times / temps?


If I get chance after I get it built and setup, I have a fairly high quality drone which could get some interesting shots of it out on the water...


I drilled the hatch, sunk the countersinks into the hull with 4mm carbon plate to strengthen the rivnut area...

Now I just need them couplers and it's pretty much ready for shakedown;

Alfa, was there a picture attached?

Good to know, How are run times / temps?

So I went over the logs and found a couple 250 amp spikes but they were just that, Spikes, maybe 1/10 second. Average running was 50-60 amps and the pulls up were 150.
Temps were good and I think 5-6 mins running.

[vvviivvv]

That's good to know, my AS26-150's where rated to 250 amps max, I believe they can take more but that's the spec.

Gonna email hydro marine tomorrow find out about my couplers!

[vvviivvv]

Having issues signing in over the past few days... boat's built just need the couplers, Hydro marine didn't have stock, and are taking a long time to reply... then I found out there on holiday so I've ordered from MHZ on priority delivery, hopefully by the weekend we can have a sea trial......
