Delta 29" copy build -help needed!

[sailr]

Had a PolyRC batt once with the 8awg wires. Beatch to work with!!

Just received my new Turningy 5000mAh 2S1P 30/40C lipos.

WOW! 8AWG wires and 5.5mm bullets for this cheap!

I just hope that these are great performers too! (like the 20/30c ones I have used).


Testing the C rating.....

(and, yes thats me)

Update:

Sv parts still used at transom, but motor,servo and esc are gone.

New parts are: 7xl, himodel 200A and 12kg mg servo.

pics soon.

7XL will take her to hell Pate!

[FastVee]

Just returned from first test runs.(with matti1983 and his 33" delta also).

Esc at factory settings ,440 prop it went 70.7kph

and s215 it was 74.5kph

s220 only gps´d 65kph? -it was noticeably slower then s215. What is wrong here...-too big prop? (the exact same speed this went with sv motor and s220)

I guess that I could set the timing to 7 degrees and try x440/s215 again -my goal is to hit 60mph/100kph on this...
(just for few fast runs, not for cruising around)

Temps were motor 48C and esc 41C at caps (max temps)

Will upload the video soon.

Just ordered x442 and m440 to try next.

But today I did try the 7deg.timing and x642, no gps but it looked a bit faster?

5000mAh gone in 4-5 minutes

A bit faster now.

I thought about doing something similar with the motor and esc out of my Blackjack 26. Douggie, about what range of mph would you get with the setup you suggested on this hull?

I'm also looking into the DF33" copy that the same seller carries, I had thought about something in the 9-12xl range of motors on an Etti 150, no idea on the prop or hardware though.

I just bought a used DF33 copy.My plan is to use my Neu 1515/1/Y on 4s with a Turnigy 180A esc and an X442 prop.MY hull came with Head of the River hardware.Should run good.Im guessing maybe 45mph.

The only way to get the cog where you guys told me (using these batteries) is to mount the motor further back(like Douggie wrote)

This is the closest to transom I can put it, any closer and the coupler is not that easy to work with.


Should I do this mod to the motor mount? -only needs 2 more holes and it can go really deep in the v.

Found a new prop too.

How far from the back of the boat is the motor and were is the rudder mounted ??

Thanks

[FastVee]

the motor front is about 10.5 to 11cm from transom(the back of the boat)

the rudder blade is installed so that the props cant hit it .About half way from strut to the side.(right side) ,cant meseaure it right now.

Just make sure that you install it straight,

[Brushless01]

Also how far from the bottom is the strut mounted ??

Thanks

[FastVee]

Also how far from the bottom is the strut mounted ??

Thanks

? .height?? as the stuffing tube hole location?

If you read few earlier posts, there is good info of strut height, 1/4 to 1/8" is common height.

[Brushless01]

is that to the bottom of the strut of the center ??

[Brushless01]

Pate i plan on building my boat tommorow. So could you tell me where you mounted the strut because your boat runs real nice. Also should the rudder height be where the colour on the bottom ends basicaly on the seam ?? Lipos ?? where should they be located ??

Im using The blue supervee motor and esc and speedmaster hardware.

Thanks
