Hi TT,
Well another day and I am even calmer now!
I have the S3802 servos fitted
they are about the biggest I can get to fit the frame and position I had to change the screws that hold the frame as they were not 'man' enough to hold the strongest servo in place.
I did like the drives and now that they have had some use and the newness has worm a bit I am getting problems, the first being the lower shafts and props. Daft 'C' clips to hold the prop on (lost three props) and then one shaft came out when I lost the last prop so I did a mod and then had 5 blade brass (std type) instead of the plastic 4 blade (thruster type)
In a way I caused the problems myself
putting brass props on and then going for it on the ice (OH but SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo much fun with the noises etc) the ice was starting to refreeze and I reversed a little and the stern climbed onto a sheet of semi submerged ice where a shard could and did enter the Kort jambing the prop I went ahead (on the wrong prop) and the result a loud blood curdling BANG followed by what can only be described as a machine gun burst and a morris minor missing a gear combined
.
I am lucky or unlucky in that I know my drives have bronze gears inside where as all the others I have had dealings with have plastic, and if I get a new drive then I will have to modify it to take my shaft and prop or get two and return to the plastic props
Or as I am considering take both out and fit fixed shafts with Kort's and rudders or steering Kort's, I cant use the Kort's I have as they are the wrong shape for steering with a fixed prop.
