Default RE: brand new electric idea with prototype pics


ORIGINAL: mr. ilikehelp

mr gator i was thinkin the same thing my self. the boat is twenty three by thirteen and i like working in thirds for my rake so i could do seven inches of rake and then leave two of the forteen at the normal sides then the rest like it is now.

joseywales i like your motor and i think it will work well on my boat. wat esc r u using? and if i dont want lipo rite away(tryin not to break the bank at once) could i use a 7.2 volt nicad?

this is a stupid Question wat is the name of that tubing that u can put a push rod through they use similar stuff for bike breaks and i cant put a name on it.
i want to run that for my servo.

oh and another motor idea to lower my center of balance i want or put my motor in the hull (like in the pics) or on the deck is there such thing as mini chains and gears or belts and pullys? would the motor not get enough air moving by it? do brushless motors get hot?

finally i want to keep my battery and control box cool so i was thinking an computer fan would work but i want some sort of trap door on it to plug it in case it flips. any ideas on that cuz all i have so far is a piece of metal hanging underneath it then when it flips gravity makes in fall on it.

finally here are more pics the motor bat and phone are just reference points for size. the green yardstick is three feet idk if that helps also the boat is two inches thick. well i cant get images working ill try to have them up asap
