Finishing the drive

Today I finished my drive. As I said before, my first experience in making a drive did not work.
 I bought this drive below. This stuff have a good quality and correct size but the design is very different from the real mystic drive.

So I went looking for parts to help me to do something that pleases me.
I found a piece of electrical equipment in a shop that served perfectly.
This is a union for antenna wires. :-)

I stuck the inside with a drill and took the thread to make the piece to fix the shaft tube in the hull.
As these electrical parts are made in brass, was very easy to weld in a brass pipe that I cut using my drill as a lathe.
See it. The interior diameter is the same of the 4mm fexishaft teflon sleeve.

The cone who fix the drive pipe in the top of the hull was more difficult to found. I tried search something similar but I had no success. So I had the idea to do it in Fimo. Yes it is Fimo, after "cooked" it's very strong and lightweight.

after putting all parts together, I assemble the set.

This is the final result.

The "Fimo cone" glued with epoxi to the aluminum plate and painted.

That's it for now fellows.

Mistic C5000 building balsa 31,5'

I started assembling my Mystic C5000.
I gave up the laser cutting and choose to do the whole model in balsa wood,
reduzing the scale of the plans and remake the drawings to the size of 31,5' (80 cm).

I want to make this boat as light as possible and use a two brushless motors type 540 4000 kv with two lipo 4000mAh batteries and two escs of 80A. The whole idea is to use a small but efficient set.
The balsa construction will help the reduced motorization. I wish coating everything with a thin layer of fiberglass in two layers being careful with the weight.
Together with the hull, I'm doing my drives, because I did not find any drives to serve in this size. In this first phase I have used the materials that will allow me to work because I don't have resources e.g. lathe, milling, etc. in my garage. So, my resources are based on a drilling machine and some tools. (I am a poor guy):-) I'll post here the progress for those who want to see it and I'm open to suggestions.


 Later, I noticed that there was no drive in the market that I could use to keep the model as faithful as possible to the original. So I decided to make myself my drives.

Anular edições

I used brass tubing and screws to build this little drive 7cm.

But I don't like this. Is very ugly.

Now I start an new design who has more dignity.

If anyone has any ideas to improve the design tell me.

This drives is cool but too large for my boat
