Climate Matrix Rigger I run this hull on 12 cells and still need to do additional strut and prop adjustments to get it running just right. The first run got things a bit to warm so I moved down a size on the prop until I got my strut adjustments in better position. During the first run the Schottky diode on the motor popped so either I had soldered it on backwards or the unusual ESC I was running had one built in. Not sure I'm happy with the ESC, specifically its BEC, some more testing is needed. This Rigger uses hardware from Fullers, Ziya ESC, Hitec servo and Novak receiver. I also use a deans boat antenna. The entire assembly and setup of this boat can be read on this site under the building section. Below are some pictures and a couple of video clips. | | Setup | | Motor | Plettenberg 290/30/4 | | ESC | RCHydros PG-614/90W | | Hardware | Fullers | | Servo | Hitech | | Receiver | Novak XXL | | Prop | Octura X632 | | Batteries | 12 Cells | | GPS | 32MPH |
