Some more pics from the progress over the weekend!
Front of the plastic nose which will interface with the aluminium case. Planning on getting the seal via an O-ring on the aluminium and the tonge picture here
The main case in aluminium is beign machined now and I’m using the little spare time I’ve got doing the electronics.
So far, I’ve not had much luck programming the X-Cross 160 so shifting direction and using a nice APD 80amps which I have on hand. Wanna test further onto the x-cross to see what’s actually the issue…
Not sure, as I bought it a while ago and has been sitting on the drawer…It works when connected to a motor, it’s something weird going on with the configuration. Need to look deeper into it as I’m sure is a silly thing, just too impatient to progress with this project!
I recieved the lower case as well as the battery. There was an issue with chattering on the seal face so I had to pot the top with some methacrilate and re-machine.
Electronics with the APD 80 amsp are fine. With the Flycolor 160 (once I manage to configure it) will need a different layout but still doable.
I’ve gone a different route with the electronics enclousure as I’m not planning on potting it, rather leave the cavity waterproof.
