This is a way better method of making an outboard for RC. I see so many prop drive outboards for 3D printing but they are all complex, weak, and use lots of non-3D printed parts. I started printing a boat yesterday and ended up settling for a regular prop shaft. If only I had seen this :(
Actually, I did this, but the effect was not ideal. First, when two ESCs share one battery, the voltage drops very quickly, and it can only last for about ten seconds before it starts to slow down significantly. In addition, it brings a bigger splash, making the hull more flooded. But I still hope that you can give a more optimized solution, thank you!
@@rcprinter no it won't help. the design of the engine is totally wrong. the impeller is oriented in the way that it suck the boat into the water. the impeller should be oriented horizontally. you can add 10 engines and all the weight you want in the front it won't change anything. that boat will never get on plane with that setup (engine). 3D sets made a really poor design.
The concept of the motor is wrong. The force to sink the back due to the impeller position and angle is higher then the output so not even with 30 engines will ever move fast
Pretty nice looking boat, dude! 😃
But you should 3d print a ninja Turtle to put in the driving seat!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Lol, thanks man! Ninja turtle would be sick!

Check out the mjet supersprint. We have build kits (and a video) coming soon!

Try this instead maybe if you're looking for a higher performance boat? :) th-cam.com/video/Y1Hbs5mJjq8/w-d-xo.html
I wonder what an MJet M35 integrated into Skippy would do. 😛 LOL
"make your Skippy fly..."
🤣
"Let's switch it to a 3S Lipo and see how it does..."
*IMMEDIATELY RIPS ACROSS THE WATER*
the problem is u need weight in front
yup that would definitely help
