Homebrew universal brushless motor programming card
This project came about as I often wondered what the output from a programming card was - could not be any different to the output of a radio receiver which can be used to achieve the same results. The other aspect is that they always seem …

Following the improvement gained on my RTTL installation, decided to do the same to my Brave Borderer - again on the bench. Removing the "Brake" feature on Fwds/ Rev definitely smooths the transition and gives better control. Looking forwar …

PS Peter, "I reckon that 1000kV and a 40mm prop are probably at the very top end of the useable combination range." Apropo combination_ If your motors get too hot to touch and draw a lot of amps (which I don't really expect) then you have t …

Thanks Rowen. The model is a Tamar Class Lifeboat. It is 1M long by 320mm beam. The supplied props are 40mm diameter although the kit designers say these are slightly smaller than the scale size. Peter.

Well Pete, My experience (apart from in price) has been outrunners are the more suitable for boats! Either way they go like the clappers and in the right boat well worth the trouble. Rowen

Have tried both and out runners are more suited to driving water propellers. Hobby king have several water cooled ones available and water cooled mounts are also available. The water cooled motors seem to be adequately cooled with even slig …

Out runners are the way to go, as size for size they have more torque. Inrunners are more suited to high speed race boats etc. For cooling to you could either fit a small fan (on the motor shaft or separately) or use a water cooled motor mo …

Aerokits 46" twin screw brushless conversion
Today I had a run with the new batteries, and It was a great success. I wasn't after more speed, although I couldn't help myself seeing how fast It would go, but wanted more efficiency, which didn't happen as I went too fast, and better run …

Hi DodgyGeezer, Thank you for all of the information. I understand this a little bit more now. I see many models hammering across the water but I like to see more scale speeds. So would you say that if you made something like my HMS Cottesm …

Yes - S3 / S4 etc refers to number of cells in a Lipo. Lipos are 3v-4.3v per cell, need special chargers and critical care compared to the more robust NiMh batteries. Unless you really need the small, light, ultra- powerful Lipos for racing …
