no more ice..

[brooks93]

finally the ice has cleared and its time to run some boats.. first on the water was the T offshore but, I think the FE gods where telling me its Valintines day go to your wife.. hmmm only took three dumb mistakes to prove that point..

1. forgot to tighten the coupler.

2. forgot to tighten the motor after a gear change

3. forgot to tighten the gear on the motor.. LOL

guess I was excited to water test the new boat.. good thing is it floats and no water inside..

other good news was 43mph out of the box with no tweaking.. never got a gps on it after the gear change for reason listed above.. LOL

well since I have my lipos for almost all my boats I can test test and test some more.. can do alot of tuning with 10 to 15 mins of run time.. plus it helps that my house is less then 300 yard for 2 nice ponds..

Kelly,

Do you still need decals for that monster? Was I supposed to do them for you? I can't remember what we talked about.

I can't believe your already testing.

 

[brooks93]

yep it still need decals and yes you are suppose to do them but, I am going to bring the boat with me when I come to detroit again for a week to work so we can do them then.

The only thing I can test here is the ice auger. We still have about 1 - 2 feet of ice. <_<

 

[brooks93]

LOL 1 or 2 feet.. dang might be awhile before it gets soft again

 

[J Solinger]

We usualy have ice till mid April give or take a few weeks. The little pot holes will open up sooner.

Kelly,

I know how hard it is to snap pictures and drive but when are we going to get pictures of the Xray on plane?

 

[brooks93]

maybe I can get something this weekend.. but, the inlaws are here..

 

[Jim Caldwell]

Can't the in-laws work a camera?

LOL

 

[forresterace]

What bloody good are they otherwise?

 

[brooks93]

well I can see if they are capable.. LOL

 

[brooks93]

I will let the pictures tell the story. tried a new prop but, going to try another one that should free up some rpm

 

[T.S.Davis]

For those that don't know, that sucker is 52" long.

 

[brooks93]

ya the pictures make it look small

 

[J Solinger]

Man that looks nice on the water. Very very cool. B) What run time where you getting?

 

[brooks93]

not sure ran it for about 3 mins.. but, I also had used the Lipos 5 times before that for a total of about 6 mins.. I charged them back up and I put 5000 mah back into the 7500 mah packs
