Slow build - 8S Twin Cat

[TRUCKPULL]

I bought this hull 3 years ago from a friend in Florida
With Coivd it took me almost 3 years to get it home.

It is a Carbon Kevlar hull, after I cut out the plywood rails,
the hull felt a little flimsy, so I put a Carbon Fiber liner in it.

The drives were bought here on the forum, I did modify them
so the drive tube would come all the way through,
so I could use the Speedmaster stinger bushings (Product IDros-spdsd-250)

I bought a 40 -60 rudder from Sly Cat Racing It has water inlets on both sides of the blade,
NO shortage of flow on this one. I combined this with a Speedmaster Duel push pull pivot block,
and a 6" long Mount.

Looks great. Sometimes, 'slow & careful' is better than "gotta get this done asap".

Can anyone guess what this will be used for?
I turned it up on my lath out of a piece of 1 1/2" Dia. aluminum
I wanted the small Dia. at 0.281 (9/32"), I whent a little under size, so I turned it down to 0.250 (1/4") and used some CA to put a piece of 9/32" tubbing on it.

Second clue!
It is something to do with a TP -5670 Motor

I’ve always liked those falcon cats wish I could get my hands on one. That build is looking very nice! Hope to see some videos once it is done

That will be used to align the motor shaft and flex cable.

From the cardboard cut outs for the motor mounts, I made the motor mounts out of two pieces of 2mm carbon fiber
epoxied together for each one.
I then machined the center clearance hole the same size as the first step on the alignment tool.
Seeing that I wanted to use Three X 4mm mounting holes. I positioned the top hole 15mm from the center hole.
Then two more holes 120 degrees apart each.
