Brushless in a Seaport
Z750Jay:
I managed to kill my springer tug a few weeks ago and had started to design/sneak the bits for its replacement. While trawling through the bits box in the loft for a coupling to fit my brushless motor I found a old Seaport hull I had been given by someone.
Then I got thinking, what would the seaport go like with one of these bad boys in it(brushless outrunner 650 Kv) running at 6v? Brought the idea with the local shop and I just got a strange look %)
Sat at work wondering at the momment as it very quite.
StuartL:
The hull may not lend itself well to this conversion, but I'd be curious to see what you achieve :)
Z750Jay:
Just been doing some math and it might be a tadge overpowered! Well, at 18v it has about 1.2 kw at full chat.
I think the brushed motor would be a 700/750.
So if I put the two 7.2v NiC in there it would be uncontrolaby quick probably just before it died
StuartL:
Or it might just capsize the first time you do a powered turn :D
Z750Jay:
Cool. If I make sure its sealed tight I get a sub for free %%
As there is no work on I have been tasked with tydying up some of the forgotten corners of the workshop.
Just found a box of dead electric drills so I am now taking them apart looking for a more suitable motor as they all look about 540 ish size
