I have the supports epoxied into place and am now waiting for some lighter FG cloth to be delivered as the stuff I had was to heavy. When that comes I will reinforce the supports for the carbon rod.
On a side note I have discovered that 3.5 bullets fit very nicely into 5.5 bullets. So I soldered the existing motor connectors into the 5.5's to match my ESC.
Excellent work Chuck, I must apologise for the people (Diegoboy) who have stolen this very good and imformative thread, If it becomes a problem we will sort them out for you Chuck.
Please post pics of your work so others may see what we are talking about. I personaly think that a properly set up xs2 will keep up with a xs3.
Andy I have cut out the carbon fiber rod and the CoB is still 60mm from the back of the ride pad. If I move the motor forward 60mm the CoB is 50mm. I don't see how I can get to 5-10mm without putting weight in the front.

Chuck where have you got your receiver pack? I put mine in front of the Lipo. They will fit up in the nose. That helps a bit with CoB. Put the Lipo as far forward as possible. I could sit my Barra 120 (now deceased) on top of the Lipo

As far as P's & Q's goes that is a common expression down here that I have heard from the day of my birth.

That's funny, because I can't really recall ANYTHING from the first few years of my birth. Your comprehension & memory should be studied by scientists.

Paddy I have the lipos in the nose and the esc on top of them. I don't have the receiver pack in it yet I will put that up front as well and recheck the CoB.
Ok I put the receiver pack up front along the lipo's and esc the CoB is now at 56mm from the ride pads. I even put a 210 gram lead weight in the front and the Cob was 50mm from the ride pads.
I think I would have to chop the back end off to get 5-10mm.
Andy you didn't turn this boat into a submarine did you?
The way my memory has been going. I wish I was born Australian now!
No... No... No.. you then would have to put up with insults from every corner of the earth. Now, if you had said Scottish all would have been forgiven and you could retire to a sheep farm and drink whisky and dream of the boats you could have built with the knowledge that those twits from the BIG ISLAND would not intrude on your superior boat building skills.
Love you Paddy and Andy..Chuck with his new avatar, I am now concerned as to his mental health
