The trick is to read the supplied note

And to reread it

And to reread it

And to reread it

And to reread it

And to reread it

And to reread it

Until you understood

Yeah I have read it
And understand the process
But

I didnt follow the instructions
8nstead I tried it my own way

Well as you can see it didnt work

Awwrite
My motors props couplings came in today
I can continue with my kort nozzles

M4 4blades rivavo props
Perfect fit

I souldnt have any problems aligning those kort nozzles now

Darn
This build is making me mad
I ask harbormodels to get me the motor
And please make surd I have everything to connect it to my aziz kit meaning
This motor will go to the aziz
They sent me a couplings
But it cant connect to the driveshaft
I need like an adapter to go over the thread of my driveshaft
So I can connect my motor

Can someone tell me where I can order
A 4mm threaded couplers inserts?
Been looking around harbormodels but cant find any

Link you posted in reply #111, item Coupler insert only, use the drop down to select 4mm.

seathug · « **Reply #131 on:** June 12, 2014, 08:37:25 pm »

Hi plague

Its a drop down hex
I needed the threaded hex
Since my driveshaft end have threads on them

NFMike · « **Reply #132 on:** June 12, 2014, 10:24:44 pm »

Oh, I see. I thought they were threaded 4mm (mine are), but reading the bit above it does look like they are all grub-screw types.
If HM supplied the kit/propshafts I'd get in touch and explain the problem - they may have a solution.

You could try getting Huco ones from someone else (I think mine are Huco, but not sure now) but it's possible they have a slightly different spline and might not fit. (But you could always order a complete Huco coupling with the right ends and put the HM set away for another project.)

You can get a M4 threaded insert from various UK sources - http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/couplings-modular.html is one - but the postage might be more than the cost of the little lump of brass

I would have thought there would be a supplier in the US who sells these, but if they can't be found then at least you know you can get what you want at a price.

Good luck

Greg

I just recieved a pm from model slip way
I think they saw my predicament with my order
Since I posted all of my build in here and the other forum
They offered to send me wbat I needed free of charge
Now thats what I call a company that really cares about their customers

Some guys that have build the aziz have problems
water getting in from the rudder post
So I came up with this idea

drill a pocket on that rudder niple
And seal it with a washer under the boat hull
Packed it with grease
that should seal the water

am I right?
What do you guys think?

Shipmate60 · « **Reply #136 on:** June 14, 2014, 06:47:05 pm »

Just pack the tube with a thick grease or something like copperslip.

Bob

seathug · « **Reply #137 on:** June 14, 2014, 07:31:03 pm »

Hi bob
Copperslip?
Dont know that one
I guess ill just pack it with grease then
But we will see

Shipmate60 · « **Reply #138 on:** June 14, 2014, 07:41:07 pm »

A thick copper based grease used in outboard motors.
Non water soluble.

Bob

Shipmate60 · « **Reply #139 on:** June 14, 2014, 07:45:24 pm »

If the top of the tube is below the water line an "O" ring on the rudder stock and a slight pressure will reduce the volume of water but more importantly keep the grease within the rudder tube.

Noted thanx bob
This aziz will sail on the beach so im kind of worried about water getting in

Unless you have a cast iron plan to make the boat completely watertight, above the waterline as well as below, then as you are going to sail in the rough stuff I think you should make like the prototype and assume water will get in and provide means to get it out again. ie. bilge pump(s).

Do bear in mind that not a lot water will come through the rudder or prop tubes, even without grease. A cupfull every half-hour maybe? (Bath test to find out.) That wouldn't be a problem with this size of boat. However, as it's salt water you should make sure electronics and motors are above the level of the bilge, and possibly have some coating or spray on protection. Coatings would be a good idea anyway as it's obviously going to be a salty atmosphere even if the bilge stays dry.

seathug · « **Reply #142 on:** June 15, 2014, 12:42:58 am »

Hi plague

The only way in for the water is

from the deck
And anything Penetrated through the hull
I have to make sure the decks are sealed
And the running gears
Im using jbweld for sure itll hold
And the super structures
Ill probably double wall it and in between is a rubber
That's my plan anyway hahah

But I have aonv way more to go
We will see

But double wall and rubber in between prevents water from getting inside

as long as its not underwater itll hold out the water

My motors didnt come with a capacitors
So I picked up a capacitor from radio shack
But then they have several capacitors
I asked the guy which capacitor I needed
But his clueless like me

can I use this type of capacitors on my robbe geared motors?

Thanx guys

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #144 on:** June 17, 2014, 10:19:12 am »

I'll probably get stop down in flames but I just use any only ceramic disk capacitors I can find on old circuit boards!

seathug · « **Reply #145 on:** June 17, 2014, 10:38:29 am »

Hi admin

Thanx im going to try it on
Hopefully itll work for me
Nice soldering there

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #146 on:** June 17, 2014, 11:01:58 am »

Not actually my motors, found them via google but that how I do mine!
I do use plumbers flux for 'heavy' soldering.

seathug · « **Reply #147 on:** June 17, 2014, 11:18:43 am »

I was looking at the sodering iron at radio shack
They have different types of solders
I think the difference was the voltages?
What would be the appropriate solder?

seathug · « **Reply #148 on:** June 19, 2014, 06:49:07 pm »

Two of these motor will go on my aziz
Robbe geared 12v brushed motor

Can someone reccomend a good esc for them
Ill just run a single esc for both motors

And someone say I need a esc also for the robbe bow thruster

I have no clue what esc to use

seathug · « **Reply #149 on:** June 19, 2014, 08:43:20 pm »

I emailed action and they sent me

lol that's a lot
I just want to see it running for now
a simple esc for both motors and esc for bow thruster is good enough
