Description

The latest iteration of my surface vehicle project—this time, I'm experimenting with a pontoon design paired with dual 60mm EDF (electric ducted fan) thrusters. The goal is to enhance stability and maneuverability on water while exploring the performance of dual thrusters for propulsion. With this build, I'm refining both the hydrodynamic aspects and propulsion system to optimize efficiency and performance, also RC water craft are fun.

Components

  • 2 × 60mm EDF Turbine Engine (see links)
  • 2 × 2212 1000kv Brushless Motor (Amazon)
  • 2 × 3-4S 30 Amp ESC (Amazon)
  • 2 × 1500 mah 4S battery (paralled) (Amazon)
  • 2 × MG-90S Servo (Amazon)
