Killer BJ FE conversion
I picked up a NIB BJ26 today, guy said his son didn't want it (more likely he stole it) anyways i gave him $50 for it and off i went, iv got every thing pulled out except stuffing tube and stringers,I built some carbonfiber battery holders in the 2 large areas beside were the motor used to be,put foam under the boxes for support and flotation, Battery boxes are 100% waterproof at this time! Now im looking for a 3/16th's strut with a skeg on it, any source for it? and i have a rudder on hand! Iv built 4 4s2p 8000 mah Lipo's for the hull, fitted with with a 9l and x640 prop it should run decent for a sport boat!

RE: Killer BJ FE conversion

RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
I run the octura one on my renegade rigger, it neeed a tidy up with a fine file, i've had no issues with it. you can polish them up if you want it to look bling.

RE: Killer BJ FE conversion

RE: Killer BJ FE conversion

|
RE: Killer BJ FE conversion

|
RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
Yea im sure it was a $50 rock he was after, not a present for his "kid". Ill snap some shots tomorrow! Might have to swap forums, cause i might just swap back to a cmb nitro .21..found a valvola on ebay...always wanted one of them for my collection...

RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
i put fullers cat hardware on mine. 8xl 120 hyrda on 4s=52mph on mine its the nitro one i converted to FE............:D
|
RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
not to shabby! ill be running a NEU 1515/1y, on 4s2p
|
RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
Imo i think thats too much motor for that hull might be too small but try it and let us know.......:D
|
RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
nitro? come on its need electric power. Its not much better to work with. not to mention neater and clean
Hope it works out |
RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
The 1515/1y is not to much motor, Its just right with a y535 on 4s.
|
RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
there is no such thing as to much power! or motor
|
RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
well lets see what kind of speeds you get........:D

BBMODS, here's a shot of octura strut with skeg, needs polishing though but i think it will look great with polished and shiny prop...btw, this thing needs bearing when ordering..hope to see a nice result..;)

RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
Oh that, I had ones of those ( the larger ones) and it bend very easily. I don't know if mine was a bad one or what, But it wasn't very durable.
|
RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
Beryllium copper is hard, if yours was soft there was something wrong.
|
RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
Yea,
At least comparing my Alum vs. Be/Cu props the Aluminum was way less durable. Also way lighter. In the case of running hardware I'll stay with aluminum as it's ligher and seems to hold up to the task. BE is for props! I will go to Octura for h/w on my first scratch build as the price is right (and it will get polished) |

RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
Iv got a older Octura strut here thats Be/Cu Didn't know if they were still making it that way.

BBmods - Not sure if this is 3/16...[link]http://www.rossisales.com/strut.html[/link]
Also, Ray Fuller has a skeg option on the strut for his mini hardware kit. |
RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
LOL i linked him that 2 days go!
|
RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
I tried.
|
RE: Killer BJ FE conversion
