Jolly Cat - Do I need anything else for her to go?

[Loki]

I went ahead and got the "Futaba 2.4GHz FASST system" and all the parts. Now all I need to get is the 'Neu 1521 Motor Aluminum Water Jacket' (out of stock) so need to look around and find one, and Hatch tape.

I always wondered why there not some type of seal built into the boat hatches. Almost like a weatherproof door/window that seals once the 'hatch' is closed. Like some type of locking bolt hatches that have a rubber seal trim stopping water intake, but cutting out the need for Hatch tape.

Thanks all for the input and advice. I'm keeping my eyes on the forums while I wait for my parts.

No method of seal that I have tried works as well as quality tape. The best in my opinion is hockey tape.

Ya I've seen most using the tape, just thought that there'd be something that was a little more... up to date

I'll go look for the tape now.


Does anyone know where the heck to get the Neu 1521 1Y Motor Aluminum Water Jackets? Been doing the google, ebay and rc boat sites but I can't seem to find one. Steve sells them but is out of stock, and damn if I can find them anywhere else.

Thanks

electrical tape works well also, comes in different colors, 1/2 inch wide and curves easy.
