tie bar setup for TFL p1 drives

[QUOTE=FlogginHarvey;664742]I hear ya and thanks for the reminder. If you look closely at the Apache I am planning to do a tie rod similar just not 100% sure how I want to do it yet. I stumbled on a Youtube video of a bench test with a pair of the same drives on a 30"ish mono and a couple a pretty impressive running videos. He had a tie bar and I thing he mounted them on the top hole of the gear cover. I just need to confirm the size of that button head screw so I can buy some longer ones and get it test fit...the list grows![/

these drives are scale m6 just make a small tongue extension out of aluminum fit to cutout on case top use screw in top of gear case to attach to out drive. I used a 4-40 turnbuckle cut down till I can find nice clevis pins. should work like a champ.

is there a build thread on the rest of your boat?
iam about to do a similar build but just the single P1 on a Kyosho Majesty 800S been looking at this outdrive for some time, i refuse to use they're double gear double motor, yet single drive set up. i like what you have done. i wasn't sure about scale looks even though on Steve V's store site says "25-35" and the 800S is 33" i was skeptical at first, and still need to have the boat in hand, i even ordered a handful of parts to convert it either way. when this popped up looking for more info on this Drive my Faith rose tremendously and that i'll give Thanx!

I built a 30" Dumas mono with a single TFL P1 drive, the drive looks almost perfectly scale on the hull! So a 33" hull the drive will look just fine!! I run the boat on 3S, surprisingly quick, handling is so so.

Those TFL P1 drives are nice, I don' t understand the setup because this is a big and large hull.

Do you remember this Cigarette ?

[Checkmateguy01]

If i remember right that's not a as big of a hull as it looks, i believe 33" or 34". I am in love with that particular boat, i wish that was a production hull that anyone could buy, i know i'd have one in a heart beat!! I say it all the time there just aren't enough scale hulls on the market, most v-bottoms tend to look too toy-ish to me, even if they are state of the art race hulls. I wonder is this boat has seen an water time yet, man i'd love to see how it runs!!!

[Stillwet]

Thank you Checkmateguy01.
i just know how Tamiya and Kyosho gears and transmissions are can you say "Melt Down"?
That Cig. boat picture is a most Handsome Craft. The red drives set that boat off nicely. the P1 i want to use will be Titanium Aluminum color.

Awesome scale builds!!

Replying to a post from 2016.... Any chance anyone has the hardware template to drill and cut for these. I just purchased 2 for my boat.

Thanks
