    I like the floating bushing too. It has a lot of surface area and it's easy to maintain. One problem with them is the floating nature of the bearing, nothing to contain it from walking up and down the prop shaft. The other problem, and is a problem in general for r/c boats, is the open nature of the prop shaft bearing, creating grease slicks and water pollution. I wanted a sealed solution! So I came up with a small, lip seal tucked onto the very back of the strut, that is contained and gives me the whole season without having to get into it! Or about every 10 runs... That works best with pressed bushings as you showed. A compromise here, real low maintenance of a very greasy, dirty area of the boat, verses the drag created by the solution. It's not a speed run thing you would want on the boat, for sure...

    Great video Big B and very informative to to general hobbyist. I think you nailed it on the flat VRs round strut. My opinion there a different between the two. Flat will act like a ride pad surface and give tad more lift. Especially needed when using non lifting props. Like ABC. Some boats just like the transom lift. Good video explaining all the differences.
    I’ve been taking some time away from social media lately but wanted to pop in and comment on the good video bud. Keep tinkering, testing and tuning.

    You've just educated me bro, I've been in a real quandary, few weeks ago I lost flexidrive and prop out my Boat, Joysway Alpha, I've got replacement parts on order but the wait time is horrendous, I've tried my hardest to get bushes to fit the strut and the flexidrive, nothing matches, so it's looking like the best thing to do is replace the strut that bushes etc are available for and can be bought here in the UK, because honestly I've spent hours and hours searching for the parts, so this video was a godsend for me,
    Loving the drag boat build, you just do what you think is best, can't wait to see the end result its gonna be amazing

    Thanks, great video. I mounted a strut on a mono and slotted the bracket holes vertically. Same size one hole up and one hole down from original mount holes. I also put a slotted hole in transom vertically and it gave me adjustability up and down.

    its really easy to make the brass sleeves. just flare the end. add holes for the marine grease and oil but not necessary. i just always tighten the flex collar before every run. the transom strut combos are fairly reasonable 20-40 bucks depending on size. ive never used stingers for obvious limitations reasons , and i NEVER use the teflon plastic inserts they will melt bind up and destroy your boat at high speeds every time

    Have a question on the strut with the bearings you showed in a packet.
    Does the flanged bearing closet to prop get loctited in or does the drive dog push against it to keep it locked in.?
    Mine came out when I pulled flex shaft the first time.out of a SR80 Pro and I have no idea if it was loctited or just loose don't want to damage anything 😊
    Thanks again

      I would think a needle bearing would work, I'd you can find the correct size and if it allows the shaft to be pulled out on a regular basis for maintenance.

    @peteroosterhoff8850 Год назад

    I am told you need (period) an offset rudder with a stinger and it needs to be at about same place (period) as the prop. Is that because it's difficult put the rudder in line and the arm needs to be very long? Is there a disadvantage to inline other then length? All boats I have are offset rudder and turn well but i would think that inline is the best because you steer the trust. I had for instance the idea for a new build to use a stinger with a very short rudderarm so you don't see it as much for scale looks, or a steerable strut. Something like that exists (MHZ Powerboats fake outboard with a flexcable, motor is in the hull) but is quite expensive and i don't know if it works well but i like the clean looks off that. There are almost no (really fast) boats with such a type off propulsion so i asume there's a reason for that. The thing is i really don't want to mess up the hull cause it's quite rare. And because off that i think that scale looks, and putting some extra nice quality stuff in it do it only right... Any ideas?

    • @IRONCLADRC
      @IRONCLADRC  Год назад

      To be quite honest I'd have to actually see the boat and hardware that's going on it to give an honest opinion. I'd hate to STEER you in the wrong direction. "Pun intended "lol

    • @peteroosterhoff8850
      @peteroosterhoff8850 Год назад

      Maybe you could try to Google it. Don't think MHZ(powerboats) is a brand thats common in States nor the hull (type hull hpr010). Maybe there's even something for your likings in the shop. It all quality stuff (in my opinion) for that matter but expensive. Also don't know if (for fake outboard) a 47 prop (max size) is big enough to push it to let's say 60mph. Its not heavy and wide so i would guess it should be good, but setup's infound were all 50+mm. But the blackjack42 for instance doesn't use such a big prop... Lot's of variabels... ;-)

    Hey man I have been meaning to ask if you have many problems with de-soldering bullets on hot days. Seems even with my buddies mx41 and my sonicwake being stock electronics they both if held at WOT will eventually pop a motor wire off the bullet. If I run one less cell count I can hold WOT as much as I want. This also happens on my shovelnose. Never had it happen on any of my Grounders Xmaxx, notorious, 12s felony so on, never on my planes or jets, and not on a single 700 heli 12s systems that drain a 5000 12s in 3 minutes. It's odd that boats put down this much load even in stock out of the box form. Any help is appreciated man. On the forums people just get mad and tell me I cant solder or that my setup is wrong lol. but a out of the box mx41 and sonicwake do it. Thanks in advance Sir!!

    • @IRONCLADRC
      @IRONCLADRC  Год назад +1

      I've melted solder on many boats, factory or diy solder. I've been increasing the bullet size for more current flow thru the bullets. I've also noticed if the bullets are old or corroded, they tend to get hotter than a nice new fresh bullet.. also check the bullets to for fit.. you want a tight fitting connection
      Basically try a larger bullet size that may help. I think the stock sonic wake bullet is 5mm so a 6.5 mm bullet should help current flow.

      @ch0cchip704 Год назад

      There's a few things you can look at Proping down from pitch to site, if you drop of the plain often the hub of the Prop generates the most load, if you have a prop balincer you can adjust that part. With brushless if the esc is hot and motor cool it's over revving and if both is hot to high a load. But connectors do come in different quality iv manage to get some in a good alloy and thay stay cold hopefully give you something to work with in the right direction.
