JvdZ' build, Holland

Hi there,

I’ve started my build for this cool sport/hobby that I’ve came in contact with. The fun must be on the water but building is a nice challenge and learning process as well.

I gathering parts for a sort of classic pacificmeister, geared setup.

ESC YEP 180A opto watercooled (Hobbyking)
Tx/Rx Modified to 1ch and powered by single cell 18650, waterproofing? (Hobbyking)
Some step-down regulators for pump and Rx
Kill switch (leash) on Rx and failsafe on Rx
Two waterproof cases, one battery, other elektronics. (EKOF GRIP CASE 004)

Drive

Gear 5:1 Hongjun, nema17 gear. Modified with INA needle bearings insted of the chinese bushings
CAD design based on Pacificmeister, own modifications, will be printed in pet-g.
