another mean machine set up

[Brushless55]

If it's ok I want to jump on with this thread....

I just got my MM today and I am looking to make a mount onto the nitro mount that is in place..
Maybe a 1/8" peice of aluminum cut to fin into the nitro mount and lots of epoxy?
I need to get a shaft. I placed my SV27 shaft into the MM and looked to be a perfect fit? But I do not know for sure?
I'm going to try my SV setup in it first then maybe a 12L or 11L. I would like to get 50mph out of this boat on 4s, and not sure the 12L or 11L would get the job done or do I need to go with a 9XL or 8XL ?

Thanks

The boat did not go full throtle sounded like half throttle. Reprogram the esc "Auto throttle range" or something like that, when you connect the batts on the esc don't touch anything on the tx. Try the radio in another boat or car to see if works ok

Were temps ok? this will also help locate the weak point. I would bet reprogramming the ESC should do the trick - gotta be one of the least fun things next to cleaning out the smell of burnt evidence.

Oh, did you notice, Jeff Wholt is offering, for valued customers, free hair cuts - you might see if he can get you fixed up.

What prop.? Your batteries are good? Reprogram the ESC, all parts. Does your shaft spin easily by hand? Is your coupler fixed tight? Make sure the batteries are connected right. These are some points to consider, there are more... like faulty motor or ESC but these are the last ones.

x442
batteries are good
will try to reprogram next
coupler is very tight
batts are connected right

motor is fairly new

thanks for trying to help

Did you connect the batteries?

Ok just got back from running it but used a Turnigy 180amp marine esc

it handled so beautifully but could get no speed or rpm...... definitely got something hooked up wrong

gps was only 23mph and I'm thinking one of two things that I can think of

#1 had the esc timing set to 0%

#2 don't know if I bound the new tactic 2.4 tx properly and not getting full power even though the trigger was pegged

any ideas?

well I been pecking at her and she's real close....motor is mounted nice and tight....tunnel and motor mount are fibered in real nice and solid


very close to launch time

Take them out and seal the hatch with tape! No water in at all!

[bustitup]

I put the hull in the pool today and the auto bailers just let the water flow in like crazy.....are you mm owners plugging these up or what....... I know the bailers will let the water flow out when shes running but there will be times when the boat stops out in the middle of a pond.....I'm guessing the water would rise about 3/4" above the tunnel

[bustitup]

ok I took everyones advise and removed most of the old gas fiberglass over the tunnel....i'm ditching this mount and fabing my own mount....little more sanding on the tunnel and clean with acetone then I will lay down the carbon cloth over the tunnel and install my new mount and wire this baby up....the o-rings and silicone sealant worked real nice mounting tne kb45 cooling can on the cc neu 2200 brushless....I used 400deg sealant ...I should never get hotter than that you think?

I'v got the front of the motor at 9 inches off the back transom

[bustitup]

heres a picture of my rudder hardware I have about 4 to 4 1/2" rudder and a read here that you should have a 5 1/2 rudder to be stable in the turns...is this true or am I ok?

if I do need the longer rudder can I still use the harware that is attached to the boat and just buy the rudder only?...if so can you link me to it?

OK
I'm thinking of starting off with the Feigao 9xl on one 5s with x442 prop....(because I cant see myself pushing the boat out into the waterfor the first time with a Neu motor in it)..LOL

suggestions?

also here's my attempt at 200 amp cooling mod

[calcagno45]

I make sure its on there good enough and just wipe off the excess...
