baitboat hull construction
Turbulent:
I've built a couple of bait boats, the last one being on a Viper Hull, you can run it on independant pumps & dont need rudders but going astern is tricky & they tend to eat the power. i went for twin 540motors run through 2 ESC's & a splitter, basically when you want to turn the power is taken off the relevant motor to the point where eventually one motor will run 100% opposite to the other & the boat will turn on itself - you also get reverse! Hope this helps.
partyhunta:
You say a 'splitter' ,where does this connect? into the receiver then you plug the 2x esc's into it?I have some kind of mixing facility on the radio gear i have, could this possibly be of any use?I am using 2x500 size motors which apparantly only drain 1A of power,powered by 2x8.4v 3800mah stick packs,one for each esc,im guessing this should give me 25-35 minutes run time @3/4 throttle??
Stavros:
What you need to do is to contact FLJ also known as Dave from Action Electronics and he will sell you what you need.Mixing on your transmitter is not really the way to go.

Thank stavros for that info just checked out the website, been looking for such a circuit for a while,its just what im looking for,nice 1.As i have already got a 6 channel radio and 2 esc,s already,i plan to try one of those mixer/esc circuits in the next one i build,as a two channel radio is all thats required even to give independant usage of the bait hopper,many thanks once again.Can see me spending more time in the shed making boats than actually fishing %%
Hagar:
Watch out partyhunta, thats how I got started too.
