Sir, you do what you do. Screw everybody else. I personally like the long vids. More chances to learn. Most of us do high speed and ovals. Keep up the great work.
Just so you're aware- the proper way to solder is to apply the heat to one side of the joint- and the solder to the other side. Solder will flow towards the heat, filling the joint with solder. You don't 'paint' solder onto a joint (from a former certified Navy micro repair tech) LOVE your videos!
Nice job Big B 👏 Whether or not there is a 'right' way to install a cap pack which can be easily moved to a different ESC (if needed) you showed great ingenuity there brother 👍 Looks like they sent you the 'platinum' model too, priced at around $90!! For boats that are built for performance and racing, that's an investment that could pay off.
That is a Jet-Approved method of tying into the power leads. No additional resistance in the power wires. Electrolytic capacitors are like little batteries; the LiPos charge them up when connected, then the caps supply that little extra burst when needed or soak up a little from the batteries when it's not needed. That is how they smooth out the current. Highly recommended in high-Voltage/hi-Amperage installations.
You should see cooler temps only cuase the strees mosfets are feeling with high ripple current... great install my guy .. rx and 4s cappacks coming !! I hope you get great numbers
Thanks brother. Took the 42 out this evening, all I can say is 👌 wow! Cooler Temps, & solid power transfer (no power cuts) NEW PB. vid tomorrow morning
Would be interesting to see if the esc cap packs are a little cooler with the floppack on it . Definitely a good test and things I have questioned myself, can't wait to see the results... Great experiment B bg4l!!!!!
THAT was a very NICE install Big B! Well done! I have other business to discuss with you however! I watched a very interesting program about the legendary "Reggie Fountain" of off shore speed boat racing/building/design fame, among other things, and it got me thinking! You profile Oxidean props here, but I would really like to see you get with Bill and see about profiling one his "Dominator" V-Hull boats here and show us what those are all about! I doubt that I'm the only one who would be real interested in that! Please consider this and talk to Bill about it. Maybe you could get a "Cat" to!
Bella Big B. Excuse me but I noticed that in a previous video you had soldered the positive and negative of the package directly on the correspondents of the esc without adding the connectors. Sorry but what changes that I did not understand correctly?
Also, how much does that pack weigh? Cause you’re putting that weight up front so you’re gonna have to swap your CG backwards. I have weight in my nose also and have to run my batteries almost dead center of boat now

IRONCLAD RC: having more fun than any grown man should be aloud!!! AWSOME job! And great music, You got us baited now Big B, can’t wait 👍

Can't wait to see what this cap pack does. Great work and creative. Always innovating .
Bro, that is quite the cap pack! I’m totally digging the method you used to install as well. I will be watching your test video enthusiastically
Very nice job B, that mechanical connection is on point!
Can’t wait for you to do a test run
Can't wait to.see that 80mph pass
You & me both
From what I've seen you want a cap pack as close to the esc board as possible for it to make a difference. Closer the better to help with ripple
Looks great! I was thinking you could use the cap pack for when the lower c rated batts are used, that way it may extend the liipo life a little...
Good point! I'll keep that in mind.

cool video brother, cant wait to see it on the water, I suck at soldering, lol take care

Hells yeah my guy wait till you get next packs.. congrats 72 on 6s .. fastest is 80 on 8s ..killing it

Clean install bro - love it! Can't wit to see if you notice a difference.
Took her out this evening got a new pb. Vid coming tomorrow

Yes sir I'd love to get the opportunity to run and review bill oxidens boats, Your not the first to ask! My email is in the description if you need it
@@IRONCLADRC Thanks for the head's up on the e-mail Big B! I missed it...
Bella Big B. Excuse me but I noticed that in a previous video you had soldered the positive and negative of the package directly on the correspondents of the esc without adding the connectors. Sorry but what changes that I did not understand correctly?
There's a few different ways of installing cap packs. I wanted to enter change the cap pack with different boats like the 42, v2 ,Deltaforce 35,
@@IRONCLADRC thanks man
Nice vids man keep it up
pro job big b
Also, how much does that pack weigh? Cause you’re putting that weight up front so you’re gonna have to swap your CG backwards. I have weight in my nose also and have to run my batteries almost dead center of boat now
It's not much extra weight the og speed run pack weights 61 grams
@@IRONCLADRC where are your batteries usually?
❤️
how if your esc keeps beeeeping what does that meen
Sounds like it's not binded to the rx/tx?? Try rebinding
Should have measured the RPMs of prop before and after cap pack
It's removable so I can test rpm before and after anytime. Great idea
A little tip, don’t use so much flux, I’m a plumber and been soldering years lol. The more flux the more shit runs everywhere
