JED Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Got my DT-02 up and running again! Nice with a 12t brushless in, and still great fun with a 2s on loose ground. Which 12t set up did you go for in the end? Just waiting for some soldering kit to sort mine out in the dt02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut jims Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Well had an accident with my mad rat. Which is now fixed with the firestorm gear, after that I soldered up my esc got all proud as it actually looked like the ones you buy soldered up. Then noticed I had soldered on the wrong deans connector so now feel like a prat and no time to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Well first off i Printed out a test run of a Large scale RC gas boat hull Then i re-printed to a large scale tile version, 8 sheets. i now have a hull thats around 3ft long and roughly 4 inches high. next is to cut pre marked lines to glue pages together, then to glue to the 3mm plywood. i am going a very thin 1.5mm beech plywood skin and a lightwieght fibre cloth epoxy final skin. filler primer and automotive spray paint. i think a 200amp esc and dual 700 sized brushless should give this boat a top speed around 50-60mph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Nanotechs arrived for the Hubsan, so took it for a couple of flights at the park. Amazingly stable, even in crosswinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Nanotechs arrived for the Hubsan, so took it for a couple of flights at the park. Amazingly stable, even in crosswinds. They are unbelievably good. I just wish they would make a slightly bigger version, merely for a bit more power. Loving using my Hubsan, more so in fact than any other RC at the moment, apart from maybe the Mini 8ight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving using my Hubsan, more so in fact than any other RC at the moment, apart from maybe the Mini 8ight. They are good, more capacity than stock, yet slightly thinner! They pop in and out so much easier and give longer flight times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
