or

7.4V 2200mAh (2 cells) 25C/50C

And think I am going to put the motor mount at 7 inches forward of the transom that places the motor at just slightly aft of the CG and gives me loads of room for batteries and esc in the nose. Going to make a small aluminum mount for it and reinforce the motor mount area with more glass and some plywood also. anyone got any good ideas for bullet connectors for the ESC to Motor> very tiny wires look very small in a 3.5mm Bullet.

What hardware is this?

[JimClark]

It is the same strut you got from ebay. I only bought the strut and will use the solinger micro rudder

[Sneasle]

AH, ok. My shaft was drilled off center... so one of my drive line sets is unusable.

[JimClark]

I am using a octura flex and one of their stub shaft

[Sneasle]

Anyone have any recommendation for paint for an abs hull? Preferably something that works with airbrushes.
Got my garage all set up for painting and am going to sit the micro aside now and paint the 1/16th scale Bardahl I have been working on.

Good question, Something I've been trying to figure out as well.

I almost wonder if you could spray a rattle can into a container and then transfer that to the airbrush...

Airbrush paints are just so damn expensive..

Hi Guys back from Az. House of color paint is what I use. They have little bottles all mixed for air brush for $11.00 to $18.00 a bottle.

How little is 'little' and where can it be had?

[JimClark]

Randy I only seem to find metalics and pearals no just solid colors. What other brand works well on aABS?
