Tom's TS2 Conversion

[SJFE]

I got the motor installed on the rek and hung on the hull. It wasn’t so easy. I had to make a template because the hijack mount bolt pattern is so different. I think I have it real close to dead center. The the motor adaptor plate wouldent fit. I dug up some long 440 cap screws and some shock stops for spacers. It seems to have done the trick. The front radio box got some balsa strips. They will allow the lexan cover to be recessed and taped up watertight. Tomorrow I'll start on steering linkage, servo installation rx ect. The shop looked a little better tonight..lol I may get it finished this week after all.

Wow super clean

99% done here. I have to pull the motor, trim the shaft & lube the cable. Then it's just stickers and add water. Looking foward to a test. Maybe even tomorrow.

Bench Test Video

I got everthing wired up and steering complete. I cut the motor shaft, took out the spacers & lubed everthing up. Now the hatch need to be cut and stickers applyed. I will see water tomorrow.

Man that is looking really nice, I am envious, I hate being in the middle of other projects, and seeing really cool stuff like this that I have to wait to start till my other projects are done, and get some extra cash. Can't wait to see a video of it on the water.
