Nice...those struts will always give you much more adjustment. You can run teflon and leave about 1"-1.5" to the strut with teflon only and you will be able to adjust easily. No problems with wire.

Yes, I will get you set up with some 078 wire drives and couplers.

[bigpapa]

Tks my friend everything kinda just fell right into place................

[bigpapa]

Used jan's water pickups the worked out perfect ...................

Todd loves building some water hot rods. Lol

[LarrysDrifter]

Nice build.I like this one.Its a little different and should haul pretty good.Your doing a fine job my friend.

[rearwheelin]

Perfect hull size !! Love the struts, super strong ! Dieing to tell you the way I did the struts on the Quad.............. I ran the stuffing tubes 100% in and then backed them out enouph to counter sink the bushings into the strut about 1-1/2 mm. You will never be able to do this with ease if you don't sand your brass tube and then hit it again with some finer stuff. The best way to do that is to put your brass into a drill and not tighten it to tight, then pull the trigger on high and fold your snd paper and pinch the brass , king of like a lathe. Be carfull using steel wool , it will grabb and tweek your brass if not carfull. Do that untill you get your desiered fit . Greese and should go on and of great and will never back track water ! Also I run 3/8 o.d. octura thrust washers and minimal gap. .....about a thumbnail.... .... Sound like its going to be fast !:thumbup:

[bigpapa]

tks my friend

Hi Bigpapa,

I'm wondering what happened to this twin motor project? any new developments? I love the color! I also painted my E-Speedmaster 29" mono project with pearl yellow from the new Lexus LFA.

More updates of your built pls.
