USS Washington build

You are correct sir.

 

I found a 6v36ah battery and a 6v20ah battery on batterymart. Is the 20ah good? The 36ah sounds like its a little much.

 

I would go with the 36ah battery, thats pretty standard for a NC. There isn't really an advantage to using a smaller battery since the ship has plenty of space and weight. Depending on your setup if you run a 20ah battery you might have to worry about running low on juice towards the end of the sortie which is when you need it most.

 

At http://www.staabbattery.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=staab&Product_Code=UB6360-U&Category_Code=sla-06
I found a 6v 36ah battery for 58.32 with shipping.

 

I find that using the smaller batteries gives you one advantage. They can be used in a smaller boat.

 

I'll order the battery from staab.

 

I got these guys to offer the 36 amp at $40 last year, and its still listed at that price. They actually sent me 38 amp batteries for $40. Cant beat the price.

Visit this site

 

sweet thanks ill order that one right now

 

too late. those ps 6360 batteries are discontinued.

 

The guns are built, just need to do the hose and solenoid plumbing.

 

I have the bricks

 

1st question: Does anyone have a picture of how their electric is set up from their batteries to their ESC?

2nd question: does anyone know of a somewhere that I can order an expansion chamber for my guns?

thanks

 

battlers connection has um http://www.battlersconnection.com/html/fittings.html

 

Where did darticus get the powerpoles? I saw the info page, but not a page to buy them.
Thanks.

 

You can buy them at tower hobbies.

 

Got 40. Besides Visit this site where can I get wire in bulk? THey dont have any black wire but I dont want to pay extra shipping.

 

check here for powerpoles http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/parts/2228.html also ebay has some good deals like a buck a pair

 

Visit this site has wire cheaper than darticus found it. $0.35 per foot of 14 gauge.

Before I order it, Is there a direct correlation between gauge and volts? I ask since there is no mention of the voltage that the wires at Visit this site are rated for.

 

BIG PROBLEM TIME:
I have the esc hooked up to the battery correctly and the motor connected to the esc correctly. When I turn the ESC on and have the motor channel at neutral, the motor goes to full power and the only way to stop it with the receiver is to push the joystick to full positive signal.

I am using an Mtroniks viper marine 40 reversable ESC with a sombra labs SL-8.

Any suggestions?
