Default RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread

That looks awesome, can't wait to see some vids! My only concern about building my twin KMB 28 powered PX16 is what's gonna happen when one jet gets a gob full of air and loses thrust. Just for a laugh I tried the PX16 stock and like nearly all NQD stuff it had 'vector steering'. Being a cat with that wide stance when you shut one motor off it really cranks a hard turn.When you trial it find the flattest piece of water you can and maybe start with the weight well back to keep the intakes firmly planted. I can imagine an impromptu pirouette being less than pretty (FYI, you won't get 12v going to the receiver and servo as the + and - are in parallel not in series in an ESC y-cable, the reason you need to disconnect the + lead on one of the ESCs is because it can damage the BEC circuits on the ESCs.)
