final tune-up

woo doggie!!!

so after yesterdays disaster, i was looking for today to be big. not halfway thru the day, its delivered. like i said before, the issue with the switch line was a blown fuse. i had my dad go get some 5A fuses. out on the water, one of those broke too. but i'll get to that later.

so we took the boat out for a final tune up test today. and it performed beautifully after figuring out the fuse blew again. i connected the ESC directly to the battery and it worked just fine. I had the boat pumping, shooting and driving. check it out!



i taped up the back deck so water couldn't sneak in and it works beautifully! hardly any water got in the hull at all. so that was excelent. and then the boat moves pretty quick, which is good. the only downer is that the boat leans pretty heavily to the right. its scary sometimes cause it looks almost like its tipping. so i gotta make sure the deck up front is as waterproof as the back. a novel idea to fix that is to add some weight to the end of a servo arm and in route adjust where it sits to counteract the leaning. i'm mostly sure the leaning is due to the slightly off centering of the water tank.

anyways. the boat works pretty well and theres only one left thing left to do. put on some decking!
