JDubs Dual Motor Tow Boogie

Hey @Jesserosco Are you willing to share your STL files for this ESC mount? It looks great and I don’t see a reason to create one if this one is available?

I will 100% share it with you just DM me your email. I will say I do not use this setup anymore. I found it held in too much heat and I didn’t like it. I find that using thermal epoxy or glue directly on the heatsink works way better and is a lot less work to put together and comes apart easy if you need to change anything.

Many thanks, I’ll take your advice and stick it direct.

Hey @Jesserosco when you cover your blades in Epoxy, are you dipping or painting it on? Are you adding tiny bits of fiberglass to the epoxy mix for strength, or just straight resin? Maybe I’m overthinking this ?? :slight_smile:

I don’t do anything anymore except sand them smooth. I haven’t had any issues without epoxy. But, when I did I used a brush to put it on, nothing additional added.

I’ve been running the mateksys pro BEC’s on my 3 tow boogies and they seem to perform a lot better. I haven’t had any weird anomalies like signal dropping for no reason, etc… I’ve also been leaving the RX board unplugged until after I plug the battery in.

Any issues without circlips on a non-folding prop?

I haven’t had any issues with the motors that I cut the shaft on, but I have had 2 rotors fall to the bottom of the sea on the motors I didn’t cut the shaft on. I keep the circlips on the motors I don’t cut the shafts on now.

Thanks. That’s a result I wasn’t expecting. I’ve cut my shafts, but left the circlip groove on, so will use circlips.

Ya it through me off when it happened. Again, I haven’t had any issues with the cut shaft motors not having a circlip. The non cut rotors slide on and off so much easier/smoother than the cut ones.
