Okay guys looking for some ideas for my radio box and how to set up the firing mechanism I do better with pictures if you have some but I can work with words just no big words [] as always thanks for your help [^]
Are you using poppets or solenoids? How many guns and how do you want them set up to fire? Are you going to use an ESC or go with a microswitch setup? How are you running your pump, always on, manual, automatic switch?
oh yes that info might help [] I’m using poppets with an HS-55 3 guns they are dual sterns single Bow fire? I have a Viper 40 Mtroniks ESC Not sure how I’m running my pump, Haven’t crossed that bridge yet but automatic switch sounds good where do I get one of those at?
you make'em. but don't worry, they're easy to construct and cheep too. go to radio shack or their web site and order the following parts: Darlington 120 transistor and 2.2k ohm resistor. to set up take a look at the tech sheets on the Queens Own web site its real strait forward. I built mine and they work great
thanks mark got it. Say if you get a chance can you post a picture i like to see things prior to building
If I can't get the pic to come up in the forum, go to my subfolder in the file manager and the pics will be there (one of the bottom 4 files)http://www.rcnavalcombat.com/rcnavalcombat/FileManager/ViewFile.aspx?id=1227
Just make sure you drill a priming hole for your pump. The auto-pump circuit occasionally suffers from vaporlock, and you can't switch it off and switch it back on again to overcome that problem. Also, a HS-55 is a bit on the small side for poppets. I would recommend either a HS-81 or a HS-311.
It dose have one. Any one got a picture of their box man that sounds bad but any ways I would appreciate a look []
There are also the otter boxes some guys use. I'm not sure which ones they buy but never heard anything bad about them. Also, I've seen guys build waterboxes out of tupperware containers. Not sure how well they work, but on paper, you'd think it would work pretty well.
Otterboxes are the way to go. The colored ones are a bit easier to drill without cracking than the optically clear ones but once you get the method down they work great. I have even tapped the sides so the poppets thread into the box. it works good.
i have 3 otterboxs that i WAS going to use but thay jest did not fit in the ships right i could of used um but i made my box and i like the fit much better
Well joker I think I'm with you I have the good quality lexan I think I will custom make it as you all know I'm watching her girlish figure and I’m on the chopping block with the weight[]
I would like to get a few pictures of some boxes to get some different ideas so get out your cameras []
