OK, who is with me on this one? i am looking for someone that has started the larger JAE either from plans or kit. i have the .12 nitro, love it! i am on the waiting list for both the .21 nitro and .21FE. i was hoping that someone has starter the FE build so i can ask a few questions and get a start on collecting parts (kits are supposed to be ready on the 15th).
1) what kind and size of motor is being used? i was planning on running a 1515 1y and cc240 but the kit says it is designed for something like the UL1 motor. will the larger can of the 1515 fit? (remember the water jacket on it is pretty big)
2) if using a UL1 set-up, what kind of speed are you expecting. i know that motor is strong but my UL1 runs wayyyyyyyyy better with the 8xl, it can pull larger props.
3) if using other that UL1 motor, what about batteries? i am not sure 5000mah 30c 4s will be enough. with 1515 1y i always run at least 3600 30c 4s x 2 in parallel to get the output needed. like i said, i like big props which = big amps... i know riggers usually pull lower amps but i dont want to puff batteries.
any info and/or pics of the FE either complete or in the build stage would be appreciated... if it runs anything like the .12 nitro this boat is going to be a blast. i cant wait for the gasser!
