Sorry I have not uploaded the Pic's of the fittings yet, i will get round to it!
She had her maiden voyage this morning, just 10mins to check the setup etc, first impressions are that the motors are very capable of delivering the perfect scale speed at 12v + little extra speed i think? It will be quick enough to keep my interest for a while anyway!
One of the rudders tiller arms disconnected so was running with 1 rudder for the last 5 mins, going to modify the entire rudder setup as there isn't enough movement i think... also as i have setup the motors with independant ESC's and there own 12v Lead Acid pack one of the batteries is quite old and doesn't deliver half the performance so i was thinking of running both batteries in parrell so the ESC's come from the same power source = Same power in theroy, does this sound correct?
I just need to get some cable to link the batteries and a switch to save me keep having to get the screw driver out to turn the thing off!
I went to the Three Sisters MBC the lake is very suitable and there were around 5 members present, seemed to be impressed with the basic model, can't wait to get some fittings on there once i am happy with the setup.
I will get a video next week.
