Hydro & Marine Redbird Construction - Part 6
Photos and text by Miha Holc
Finished boat:

Recevier velcroed under the cooling tube. The antenna assembly is described on my Pico buildup.

Motor/ESC combo ready Ä

And installed in the boat. ESC is velcroed on the floodchamber plate.

Cells À soldered inline 2 by 2 and shrinkwraped and inline 3 and shrinkwraped. Between 2 and 2 there is thin teflon coated nylon cloth sheet to prevent shorcuts (hard to get À try in homestores, that's where I bought it). If not you can go with thin teflon sheets or even try plumbers teflon tape. Kontronik sells ŽGoldfixâ tape which is also good. What is not visible is the velcro on the other side of the pack. Connectors are MC 2 mm gold plated and wires are 16 gauge from Novak. From the photos above you can see I stuck some foam between the velcroed cells to prevent them from moving side to side.
