That's good. Will this be raced? Do you require a pistix to arm the ESC? Or can you trim the throttle channel back with your tx far enough to arm?

Agree

Ah ok, I see what you have done. RMS is the average value for current or voltage in a sine wave. A common example of this is the AC current we get from a wall in our home. The actual Voltage we see and use is the RMS voltage. The peak to peak voltage is higher. The waveform of the output in...

The max "usable" current is not always the same. Change in conditions can greatly vary results. Neu generally doesn't provide this value, however Castle does which may give buyers an idea for an ESC. The fact that this motor was initially intended for land use changes the way one would choose a...

Wow that is close. It's too bad the conservatives only pulled off 144 seats. Pretty close to a Majority government compared to a couple years ago. Parties such as BQ and the green party have got to go. Ryan

Sorry Alan, no video for the 1/8th scale. Ryan

And a couple more Ryan

That's an excellent looking hull. The recovery pads/stumble blocks IMO do not help keep the nose down. Adding weight to the front of the hull will help. I find tunnels to run best when the CofG is around 30-35% As for size, it ranges from hull to hull as some don't need as much as others. I...

One standard sized servo is far more than enough in my opinion. Any more than one is just a waste of weight and space. I have been using the HS-5645MG Hitec servo now for a while. It is reliable, digital, and has the torque. Ryan

You could perhaps try a MEGA 22/45/1 or 22/45/1E. I believe the 1E is around 2100kv and the 1 is about 2500kv. Ryan

Shawn, I'm from Hamilton and own a 7.5cc DPI Tunnel with a piped K&B engine. I'm running mid 40's consistantly. I only run my tunnel at the cottage as I don't know of any decent place to run them around here without any trouble. I race FE boats. If you plan to race in the future I would check...

If running 11.1v @ 4200mAh, I would run upwards of a 50mm prop. It won't be fast but getting on step will be rather instantaneous. Ryan

Congrats I can't wait to see the video! Mid 70's is unreal. Ryan

I would have to agree. Great Website, and excellent service in absolutely every way. I'd just like to see more goodies in the 7.5 department. :P Ryan
