My Micro Hydro

[JimClark]

I know this has been on the back burner but this will be resurected shortly and finally get a good run. I figured out what my ESC problems were. It was me not programming turns out the default for the ESC I had was for 3s I was using 2s so hence it would not run. Got another ESC anyway and am going to us it as it has a program carg much easier to program. Going to use a turnigy plush 30 amp this time.

Tried to run today got a couple of laps in but it has major ESC issues I need to find another one for it. Off to the B&S Forum. Mostly hap[py once I got it running it is only 2s ( no room for a 3s pack) but i think is runs fine but can probably tweak it some. I know it needs more rudder travel but before I make any changes I want to get another esc and run it two or three times more to decide which way to go with this.

It has been a long time but yes the Dr Jet Mystery outrunner

Looks really nice. Now if only I would sit down and put some time into my hulls I could have some fun little toys to play with on the water.

Did you use the little 'mystery motor' combo from Dr. Jets hydro thread, or something else? I don't even remember anymore.. wow that's sad.

Randy this little Oberto will for sure run this year. If the water is good enough it will run at the first race I am running with Puget Sound fast electrics on 6/25

Any news yet Jim?
I took the plans home to make a template to build motor parts, soon to come.

Was going to try for the Maiden voyage this weekend but just too many things to do and not enough time to work on the boat so the first run will be postponed at least a few days.
