Looks great lou, I need to build mine

for batteries, goldbat 3s LiPos on Amazon, many different options for C rating and capacity, I ended up with the 6000 mah 55c ones

 

Kevin, the hull kits have come a long way from that alpha version you have. If you wanted a replacement, up to date model, let me know. Per alpha tester rules, you are entitled to an up-to-date hull.

 

Will update soon, the modified motor mounts are on their way from sendcutsend.

 

Batteries ordered, Black Friday sales started today.

Anyone know how to tell if a BC solenoid is 6 or 12 volt? I did order and receive them last year, not sure in my stash which is which.

 

Take the top nut off and pull the silver cover off the coil. The voltage should be written on the coil, at least on most of mine it is.

 

The BC solenoids are 6V

 

Ok to run 11.2 volts through them?
I did look at the solenoids, all except one were labeled 6. One had 12 (and I swear I ordered 4 of them). Of course they could be stashed somewhere in the shop...

 

I run all my solenoids at 2x nominal voltage

Going to do the steps backwards, will complete the hull and then figure out where all the internals want to go.
