@@tscUnhold it would take a small modification, it definitelywon't fit in the default setup. My gut feeling is that it would be too heavy, but I could be wrong. The 8000kv motors I had, running on 1s, were quite efficient, it ran for a long time (compared to whooping anyway)
@@JasonSuterOssum Thank you! I might give this a go, as my only micro quad uses 16850s and I don't really want to get another set of 1S lipos which I don't have any other use for.
@@tscUnhold ah I understand then. The trick would be to design some sort of holder, but that would take some planning. I was tempted to solder a connector directly on to an 18650, but that wouldn't work if you are using it in other drones (I presume some sort of nano long range?).
Hey great build man! I am working on something similar for a project but instead it has two propellers in the water! I was going to use a Velox FC and ESC but my concern is the programming in beta flight…. I am concerned because I need to know how to program it so I can control each motor individually, and possible one motor with a flip switch on my controller! Does this seem possible? Any issues with the gyro interfering?
I'm not sure how you would do a motor on a switch via betaflight, but it might be possible. Is there a reason to control the motors individually? I would create a custom mix and put the gyro to work, I type some details about it in the original description of this project, but basically I just made a mix that only reacted on yaw: www.newbeelabs.com/labblog/2021/6/16/differential-thrust-setup
@@JasonSuterOssum I would want the boat to be able to turn left or right, and if I had individual control of the motors, I would be able to turn on one and keep the other off, and that way I could turn.
Hello! Nice project Trying to rethink it and make a boat with two underwater thrusters i set AIO and now it moves forward, backward nice but my boat is long and has understeer and i can't find settings to rotate motors so they thrust in opposite direction then i move yaw(left or right) to max and move throttle around zero only one motor rotate (both thrust right direction and rotate boat right but jumps from for example full forward right motor to full backward left) maybe you know some setting to do? to rotate motors simultaneously and thrust in opposite direction Thanks!
Hi Petro, did you have a look at my blog post about motor mixing? It should clear it up: www.newbeelabs.com/labblog/2021/6/16/differential-thrust-setup Remember also that you will need to have "3D mode" enabled on your ESC if you want reverse.

Haha, I just don't want anyone coming and complaining that they broke their electronics building my project. In reality I'd love to see someone build it and enjoy it, that's why I share these things after all 😁
@@lasersbee you see, you are exactly the guy I want to do it, I know someone who goes ahead against all advice will understand the risks! Please share of you do I'd love to see it.
Printed one, came out great!!
That is great to hear! Taken it on the water yet?
Nice!! I made a micro rc boat with old brushed spares too, tiny jetsky mk1
I checked it out, very nice little design!
That is awesome! Well done. I’ll have to try it!
Thanks! It was a pretty fun project. Always nice to do something different, and it came with some challenges I didn't expect.
great video! that looks super fun to do fpv boat !!
It was great, the beebrain made it so easy! I'll fpv any kind of vehicle I can think of :-D

I don't have a broken whoop, to salvage.... yet....but i do have a spare set of 1104 motors, might be a bit over kill, the print came out great!
No such thing as too much power right ;-)
Can't wait to hear how it works out, but I'll refrain from wishing any ill-fortune on your whoop boards!
Awesome, you are the man Jason!
haha, thanks dude 🤜🤛
@@JasonSuterOssum do you think a single 18650 battery will fit into the boat?

Briliant....very nice.. wonder if puting tyre on that thing...
Yes, I have been wondering this too... its on the to-do list, I might even get there one day 😀
Great little boat, awesome work my friend 🤙 sub done 🍀 lg and ceya 💚
Thank you! Appreciate the sub and glad you enjoyed the build!

@@JasonSuterOssum also regarding the gyro, I’m just worried that it’ll assume it’s not centered and send the motors to la la land LOL

Very cool build. Is it possible to get this file on thingiverse or some where else?
Never mind, I just found it. Thanks again.
yup, all the files are om myminifactory and details of config on newbeelabs. Ive got a detailed instructable on the way too.
You're awfully negative... OK OK I won't build it

Cool! I printed one, came out perfect. Pod slides in tight like a high school prom date! Works great in a dusting of snow too.
