    Fountain Rio Refit.

    I recieved my custom steerable outdrive in the mail today. It's clear i didn't need the extention plate. I will be spending most of tomorrow cutting out all the traxxas stuff. I'll then install a conventional drive line. I'll cut a plate to install the servo, reciever & motor mount on. If I put in a full day I should have it ready for Sunday. The Ammo 36-56-1800 will go in along with the GP 45amp esc. I'll run my 4s packs in 1p and my 2s 5000s in 2p. Should be interesting.

          The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

              Clean up

              I relly need to rething my Devcon usage. This was a Mf'er to get out. I did save the drive and didnt rip the hull apart. 25 minutes of dremmeling with a cutting blade & vacume running straight and here we have it. I'll be playing with drive alinment for the rest of the night.

                  This build will be resumed as of 2/5. I have some conventional hardware being fabricated. I'll be running 4s-2p on an 8XL with a 120amp esc. I expect good things.
