Very short- just testing, probably less than a couple of minutes of use. When I suggested Loctite I meant with a metal gear. The plastic gear is a poor...

Perhaps choose another brand of esc that doesn’t have all this complication.

That peristaltic pump looks very similar to one I had a play with. If it is the same design, then the rollers have gears moulded in with a planetary arrangement...

Would be nice to see the Albacore files available in a range of scales- a 1/96th Albacore is a nice little tuck-under-the-arm pocket rocket in phase 4...

Been conscripted to do the glass hull model, Dave?

I think it's a very useful tool for technical and engineering questions. It is helpful to have a decent underpinning knowledge, because they're all capable...

If you're printing it yourself, one of the benefits of this is you can slice the file at the desired waterline in cad software (I like Fusion 360) then...
