Shaking Down The J&R Hydro & Deltaforce Vortex Twin

[@JANDRMARINE]

They were both looking good! The white 24 finally starting to find her grove above the water!

Hey B I know its not your thing but I just learned a new IMPBA club has opened in Wilmington, NC. I thought it would be cool as heck if you went there sometime and did whole video on it.

[@IRONCLADRC]

I'll check it out thanks!

Those hydros look like fun big B.. I haven't been able to run my to new hydros I got for Christmas the winds blowing out here in California my lake at the park is surrounded by trees and branches get blown everywhere last time I took my boats out after the wind I broke off a rudder on my aeroboat... At least there's no fires here in Riverside where you see the fires down in Malibu and Coast highway is beautiful I can't believe that's all burnt I take my hot rod my 66 ranchero and cruise Coast all the way up through there in the summer it's beautiful up there you see how the other half lives.... A sad way to start out the new year... Keep up the videos. Full triggerrrrr

[@IRONCLADRC]

I hope the winds calm down soon so you can get your hydros out! Heart breaking to see the fires do so much damage in such a short time, be safe out there my friend!

Snot rocket is going really well she's like a little dart on the water, Nice 👍 👌

[@wheelsdownrc6348]

Great video and glad the problem with the 24 was just the Lipo✌️…

[@IRONCLADRC]

You and me both! I was seriously thinking one of the speed controls went bad.

Solid ice here

15 * this morning in Richmond Va. hey Big B is your 4mm flex cable and strut got a 3/16 stepup prop shaft ? or do you have duplicate prop sizes for each, one 3/16 and one 4mm ? I try to keep everything at 3/16 if possible, but I do have a few 4mm bore props and 1/8 bore props. Also ESCs frustrate me to no end, simply because I have no way of knowing what comes out of the three wires. I really need to set up a test bench analyzer, airplane prop, rpm counter, watt meter. I miss the old school servo actuated resistor style speed controllers 🤣 those were the days, nothing like the smell of burnt electricity 🤣😂😆. BGFL

[@IRONCLADRC]

The Deltaforce has a 4mm flex & stub shaft, I use 3/16 K&S brass tube as a 4mm to 3/16 prop shim for my 3/16 props. I basically use the 4mm flex for my smaller twin builds because the hardware is smaller and, more importantly, cheaper.. allows 4mm & 3/16 prop options

[@craigjones2015]

Yep my lipo chargers display IR on each cell. As the battery get hot from running and discharging the lipo temp goes up if you put a big enough load on it

[@IRONCLADRC]

Mine does, too. Next time I charge the CNHL lipos, I will document the IR and let you know the next run with the DELTAFORCE twin. BG4L

[@garywilkinson6832]

Wow on that 2 set of packs! Then dead in the water? Sounds like RC hobby gremlins!

[@IRONCLADRC]

It was definitely a bad day, one thing after another like quick sand I just kept getting deeper and deeper!

[@minochercowasjee]

Big B , hang in there buddy ! What is the weight of the two boats ? The white one I am thinking will be more than double the weight of the green boat . That could be a contributing factor ?

[@IRONCLADRC]

24 twin is an overweight, overpowered PIG 🐖 The 17" hydro weight 2 lb 4.3 oz The 24" Twin weight 5 lb 1 oz I just got home. i threw both boats on the scale with their lipos batteries, almost a 3 pound difference 😅

[@peteroosterhoff8850]

Need winter tape....😂

[@dogdronesearchdd3782]
