rotate the water jacket about 20 degrees anti-clockwise(so the water discharge is at the top). that motor runs hot enough you don't want any more air in the jacket then can be avoided.
gelcoat:
do a thourgh job of inspecting the steps for flaws(they tend to show up when you're sanding/prepping the hull for painting.

OK, the set up has change alot. I will be running a HiModel 200 amp ESC with a Nemesis 6xl. I want to see what I can make her do on only 3s or 4s. I am painting it right now. Blue over white. The blue is done, and taped off for the with to go on. I want to get this done before I have back surgery next week. I won't be able to work on it for around 3-4 montths after that.

I am heating up the garage as I write this to get the painting done.

All taped up and no where to go........





A top on shot to show the blue......

I painted the white yesterday. I still have to sand out the blems and spray the clear, but I am waiting for the decals to com before I do that. Here are some pics of it painted. I stll need to paint the white stripes on the top.

OK, OK, OK!! I think my meds took over all intelligent thought! I will be useing the 6XL in a very light abs mono that I bought it for. I don't know what motor I will be using yet, but definately not one that hot. I want to run on 6s or 18 cells with the HiModel 200 esc I have. I will be picking out what motor to run after surgery tomorrow. Lucky for me I have a nice long recovery to get this done right. Thanks for trying to talk some sense into my medicine head!!!!

if running 6s I would go with

Feigao=12XL
Neu=1515 1.5y

I am going back to the original set up. 9XL on 4s with my HiModel200 amp ESC. This is just a sport set up. I have a new 9XL on the way and am still waiting for the graphics to come. I will keep you posted.
