They look really good man. Put me down for the one on the far right. I wonder how I'll bolt it on???

[obrien]

what you like the V8 OMC??? well I quess we can all be into the good motors! lol

Herb has used the inline 6 merc style cowling on his boats and said that all you need is a 1/4 piece of ply on either side of the motor adapter, and you can attach that cowling with no problems.


Tom did you just epoxy your radio box to the hull?

[SJFE]

Yup sure did. I wanted to be able to just pop it off if I had to.

hi guys , was just wondering after reading this thread that i might wanna get my hands on a topspeed2 myself , well in singapore not much boaters and choices r limited unless bought online , saw ts2 at the LHS and going for a good price , hull only. but would be the ideal hardware and , esc and motor would u guys reckon?'inboard' and what kinda speed can this hull manage ? 70km/h - 100km/h ?boat building for the first time does excite me but also at the ame time makes me wanna make minimal mess ups . can the experts do give me some sound advice . didnt wanna start a new thread cause the subject is still the same . dun mean to hijack this thread ..lol

[kin]

another ? can the BL motor on the outboard run without the merc cowl or anyother coverings!!!! or is it a must to cover up to keep it away from water getting into it ?

Update - The Low Bucks Racing Special

...As promised in the Swap Shop thread, here are pics after making it a little more "ME" style.

Inside looks the same...plus I have some wiring left to do that looks a bit untidy, so I didn't want to show that.

Thanks again Tom...can't wait to test!
