📝 Motor burn out?

I also use the Dumas dog bones. I once got a dog-bone with 4 ears at each end instead of the traditional 2 ears. Do not know were I got it and have not been able to find it again. The argument about the plastic ears is that they break easily but this may be a good thing since it prevents damage to the rest of the drive train. You can always replace the plastic ears by drilling them out and inserting metal pins. Works for me. Len

Cash, thankyou for the update on the motor shaft. I was not familiar with this style motor. Learn something new every day and forget something old twice a day. Len

Cashrc thanks for the reply about the motors. The problem with the tight fit and the need to tap is due to the fact that the shaft or collar my be metric and the the one imperial, 1/8in dia is .125 and 3mm is .119, therefor there is .006 interference fit. Len

Nice boats. That is some big body of water. Just curious, what is the difference between a pond and a lake?

nice motor mount. Do you have any issues when using a cable propeller shaft when you run it in reverse. Does the cable start to unwind because it is turning in the opposite direction it was wound when manufactured? Len

I think they do not recommend LiPos if there is no low voltage shut off is the fact that if you run a LiPo below a certain voltage level non-reversable damage can be caused to the battery. Len

Here on Long Island, New York the use of petrol powered anything RC is prohibited almost everywhere. There is one exception that I know of which is a organization of RC petrol racing boats. It is a limited group and you must pay an annual fee of $100 to cover the cost of insurance that is a requirement by the town to allow the water to be used for this purpose. The lake is in a very secluded part of a public park with limited access and is patrolled by a park ranger. Len

As jumpugly has suggested it is a good idea to apply the CA accelerator to the joint with a applicator instead of spraying because you get localized control and prevent spraying the accelerator all over and may premature setting up of the next joint next to the existing one. Also the fumes are nasty to breath and smell. I use pointed steel rod or tooth pick to apply the accelerator. Len

As you have already been advised the door always opens outward. I also believe that the door swing should be such that the door swings against the direction of forward motion. This way it will not be slammed open if it comes off its restraint and causes an open passage for the sea to enter.
