        got it wet and disaster to be fair,didnt even do a run and the motor gave out,but this is the motor that was run previously on the f1 24" and when it flipped the motor was submerged,dried it out and tested before i went,it did sound a little rough,so shouldnt of bothered really should of just brought a new motor.

          Right here we go iv just spent a short whil modifying the outboard,i robbed the cooling plate from an old burned out ESC drilled some holes and came up with this,not sure if this motor is up to it, and gonna run it on 6s,2p but will give it go LOL.

            Just made a little plastic disc to sit on top of the motor to reduce water going in.



            Also was having problems getting a ny prop bigger than 40mm on,but made a couple of mods and can just sqeese 1 on with out it hitting anything.
            will give it a run tomorrow and see how i get on and try and get some vids.
