Don't drop it in the water.

Seriously, you should have no trouble. Just bind the receiver to the transmitter and away you go. Practice on the bench first so that you become familiar with it. It's a great invention and I use mine all the time

thanks ken .

No probs . Just my bit of fun.

I've had a thought (yes, dangerous I now) On channel 5, the switch at the top edge, you have a choice of slow or fast servo action. This might be useful to you to control the dumping hopper. I use mine on the Gry maritha to slowly open and close the hatches. Look magical.

That will work fine.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with the ESC-Motor fuses. The ESC should have its own safety built in, the only time I would use a fuse there is if I had more than one motor off one ESC, then it would be one fuse per motor.
The only ESCs that would not work would be those without a BEC, like the Action ones, which would need the red RX lead left intact to allow the control part of the board to work.
Important tip is to make really good and sure that the heavy black wires really do connect solidly to both ESCs. Strange things happen else.

Yes and No really......you defo need a motor mixer in the set up and Both the cables form the speed controllers would then go into the mixer THEN a single cable to the reciever....both the rudder servos would also get connected into mixer and a single would come out.all your other functions can then be used on the reciever

Those will do.the job in hte boat

....Having re read your thread I HONESTLY do not know why on earth you would want ot take Half a kilo of bait out let alone a kilo out on a bait boat France or wherever.Having ifshed extensivly in France the maximum amount of bait per drop would be as follows.
1 scoop of (an empty med sized tin of corn) of particles
1 half tin of chopped and 1/4ered boilies

THAT IS ALL YOU NEED NO MORE NO LESS

The days of large beds of Baits in ANY country has LONG gone,the fish have seen it been there etc.Having made hte same mistake years ago of a large bed of bait and wondered all week why 2 rods wernt going off and my scratching rod was catching I sat in the rowing boat over the large bed and obsereved...time and time agaion fish shyed off and wouldnt go near the bait.I must admit last time I fished in France I only used Pva bags in the Bait boat...and Caught consistently all week...................

Lets put it another way....................If you were presented with 2 plates of food 1 a normal plate size the other was 2feet x 2 feet and told to eat it .....I know which one you would go straight for and it certaintly wouldnt be hte 2x2 one.

Dont believe what I say ask anyof the top anglers who go out to fish the lakes out htere SMALL is the way to bag up

hello dave
thanks for the motor thing,as for france and weight of bait,i wont be going to france anymore,weight of bait,i just said it could carry a certain amount doesnt mean thats what will be used.

Are you using any rudders on the boat

Dave

eddieneil22 · « **Reply #69 on:** October 15, 2013, 12:27:50 am »

no dave,i hope to steer with the two motors.
neil

Stavros · « **Reply #70 on:** October 15, 2013, 08:43:50 am »

Ok then diagram is ok ....but i think you will find it a right sod to steer in a st line try it if you caant get on with it then you will have to fix a pair of rudders ........fit some weed guards to props.....cut uo a large plastic feeder should do the trick

Dave

malcolmfrary · « **Reply #71 on:** October 15, 2013, 09:25:31 am »

How is the receiver to be powered? There is no mention of a separate battery for the receiver and presumably the servo for tipping the hopper.

eddieneil22 · « **Reply #72 on:** October 15, 2013, 09:45:26 am »

thank you dave,
malcolm i thought the power for the receiver came from the one of the esc,is that wrong.if i am wrong i will fit the 4.8 battery,the tipper is worked on channel 5 of my transmitter on a switch.
neil

malcolmfrary · « **Reply #73 on:** October 15, 2013, 04:58:09 pm »

The RX power comes down the red lead that is left connected. The tipper servo gets its power from the lead that plugs into the receiver, along with the instructions telling it what to do. Thus it gets its power from whatever the receiver uses.

eddieneil22 · « **Reply #74 on:** October 15, 2013, 05:43:49 pm »

malcolm
am i right in saying the power for the rx does come from the esc with the red lead left intact,so i wont need a 4.8 power supply,
neil
i think i might need a fire extinguisher
