      I dont think you'll find anything smaller or more suitable from a bike shop than what you've got. I have worked in a bike shop before and those a probably the most suitable ones i have seen. Although i will still not use them, they are a bit stiff for my liking. Especially when i can get 12 nice rubber boots for $4 US

        You are correct, they are much stiffer than we require. (thick rubber)

            Try petsmart - nipples (bottle) for newborn small pets work great and have a double lip - just have to enlarge the hole for the servo rod.

              but those are the wrong color. They're teet brown!

                After careful consideration, my initial response was "no" but I have decided to let it go. so, "Yes"

                        I think that's wrong. If I'm not mistaken, that was custom made for the original. That just seems a shame, especially since he can pickup an Astro cooler for his purposes. I'd sooner give you $25 not to see it broken up. It's one of the integral elements of the design for that one in particular. While you're at it, I'll take the left sponson please...

                        Just my opinion, and I'll get off the soapbox.

                          ...but the right sponson has the water pick-up.

                            I know, I wouldn't have had the heart to even jokingly mention that one.

                            I'm not saying anything else about it. I just seems a shame.

                              What is an astro cooler, the only reason i even asked diego is because i have already contacted steve elias and he told me you cant get one. This is the only one as i was informed. Correct me if wrong

                                I don't know what an Astro cooler is, but Steve E told me that the cooler on this motor was also a prototype that he had custom machined for it.
