Re: Brushless Launch
It’s a Aquastar 1750kv motor, a Turnigy 90a ESC, running on 12v 5.0 amp NiMh battery. I’ve been avoiding LiPo, partly because I’ve got dozens of NiMh battery’s, and partly because it looks like black magic!, just not got the time to distrac …

Re: Brushless Launch
I would say, pretty darn good! Two thumbs up. What's the setup, motor, prop, battery, etc?

Well Canabus, certainly fast! Very envious of seeing open water too. If was not obsessed with building to scale, looks like your power train combination would be ideal. Once the water is Canada regains liquid form will be returning to my Br …

The only thing you might have to watch out for is back feed from the pump out the aux tube (when moving) if you don't set up the y joints (must be y not T ) to create a venturi effect from the pump side. Doesn't matter standing still but at …

I used this pump from E Bay which pumps well, and with the rubber mounts is quiet. 6-12v (I use a 2 cell LiPo which seems perfect) and am cooling 2 2000kv 28mm in-runners. Have tried a few different pumps and these have been the best so far …

Used a small 6 - 12 volt pump bought from E Bay. Have used windscreen washer pumps before, but they are relatively heavy and bulky. This was quite compact and light and were closer to my weight restriction.

The pump was installed to give positive water flow even when stationary. Felt this would ensure cooling under most conditions. The plumbing is quite torturous and suspected there might be a significant head drop in the circuit. With the wis …

Any specific reason you refer to a 'car' ESC? What size (dia.) shaft should I use? Will I need to cool that motor? Cheers Steve
