Alright, let's get back to it! I found a smokin' deal on some carbon props and ordered them up. The cool factor and curiosity was way too much...
Thanks guys. I didn't even realize the motor rotation!:eek: I don't mind to order some new CCW rotation props(small selection) but I have an...
Hope everyone survived the holidays in one piece. Wow, 2022... Let's do it!:) Well, I thought about it all I could and pulled the trigger on a...
Well, she's officially taken apart for the year.:( Another fun and successful summer was had though! [IMG] I have a list of little projects to...
Alan, I got a laugh out of your failure comment. Sometimes things don't turn out like we had originally hoped for do they? I know that feeling ALL...
Interesting! I'll start looking into that idea! I'm not sure on the "relay thing" either but I'd guess that cost probably has something to do with...
The relays are for forward and reverse. Bench test looks good. If this doesn't work, I'll go back to a basic PWM with forward only and no relays....
Another reason behind this boat project was for my fast electric RC boat addiction. Now I can carry my gear, charge LiPo batteries, stay away from...
That's my understanding for the most part. I can see how some heat will be generated at "part throttle" with the controller working hard to keep...
Sit back and read "Sailing For Dummies"?:p Seriously, it works out pretty good for guys like me that only go out when the weather is decent and...
Well guys, I learned the hard way(as usual) that you don't just sit down and start working on circuit boards with zero experience... About halfway...
This converter is adjustable so, I should be able to set the voltage and current limit. Well, within reason anyways. I have a buddy that ran this...
Alright, we'll keep hammering on the MK30 for a while longer. I guess I meant, that's probably all she has on 12v...:p Next up is something I've...
Sorry, I've been having too much fun playing with this thing and not updating this thread.:D It was a long winter and I'm beyond happy to be back...
Well, this project escalated quickly today! I started with my usual CAD(cardboard-aided design), but with some(all of the) help from a good...
Thanks portacruise. Interesting stuff. A fuse is something I haven't given much thought, but probably should. These BMSs have a built in over...
Yeah, I'm not one bit disappointed at all. For being low budget stuff, I was happy to see that all the cells are healthy, BMSs are doing their...
We've been ice/snowed in all week with no internet. Oh my!!! Perfect time to babysit these new batteries while doing a top balance and capacity...
It's very cool to see interest in my little project. Motivates me even more. I thought I might get laughed out of the place at first!:D I...
Who? This old hot rodder!?o_O [IMG] Not my Pops, but one of my best buddies right there! That's me in the back BTW. He donated the Minn Kota 30...
