    Here's the pics, The esc is a breeze to wire, though positioning it in place can be a little tricky. the key is to use a little grease on the wires where they pass through the boot seal. This makes it easier to position the esc after the wiring boot seal is popped back into the electronics box.

            The tab/fin combos came from Offshore, listed under drive hardware. They need the mounting surface cut down some to fit the transom properly, I just used some tinsnips and a file. The aluminum props are ok, not quite as durable as brass, but they are easier to sharpen and balance. I like the carbon props alot, no balancing needed with comparable performance.
            The Maxx motors I am running now are 19t, I found with the 12t and 14t stability was an issue. Don't get me wrong, it was fun but I can't tell you how many times they wound up upside down in the water!
            I have run 7 cell packs with the current setup, thats all I ran with the lower turn motors. Since my focus has shifted towards brushless powered hulls I'm more content running 12 cells in the villains, the motors will live longer! I'll get a video clip of the 12t setup with 14 cells on rcflix, I'll link to it on this thread, its pretty wild!

                I'm going to try to link to it now. This was before the fins/tabs were installed. Its a short clip, but it gives you an idea what its like!http://www.rcflix.com/photopost/show...00&ppuser=3129
