I dissected the boat today, to get the ESC out.

Hey that looks clean in there, And yes 540 36mm is what you want in there.
Not sure about the Leopard 3650 2450kv,
That is a PITA to get to the esc.
When my stock one blow out I just put the new one right on top of the motor water coil,
I think it stayed cooler there than in that closed hole.
The stock motor mount is still being used but the motor clamp screws pull out a couple of times,
So for the last few years the motor is just held there with hot glue till I do it the right way.

This is what I was looking at when I just got mine and it was all stock like yours,
But I picked it up used for $75.00 on CL.
It was a Long time ago. http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...IO-EP-Overhaul

This was my buddies AKA tunnelvision doing some testing,
That was till he hit a tree in the snow and took the bow off.

Yeah I have a problem/sickness...
I haven't even ran the boat (brand new from lhs) and here I am tearing things up.
So the electronics box is coming out, and the hardware will be coming off then I will be doing the transom brace/motor rails here pretty quick. It is also getting a full size servo and a brushless system before I ever run it

Yes you should have ran it stock a couple of times.
Than start doing the modding to it,
This way you see how far it has come.
I tweak the $hit out of my stock setup and hardware first,
Than when I started trying some brushless setup the fine tuning was already there.

Also just so you know on the servo rod to rudder,
I used the intake water line hole and moved the servo to the starboard side.
Than used the old servo rod hole for the water intake line.

As I said sickness... I cannot leave anything alone, from my 1:1 to my rc's.
They all have to be unique one of a kind... Mine!

To be fair I should get on and run this thing at least once stock.

I put the boat back together today... Dynamite 12t ESC wired in and a big 4000mah lipo in the stock location just have to swap out the battery leads on the ESC...


Funny thing I have owned this boat 1year 3 months and it hasn't touched the water. I live within 300yards of a creek that should be deep enough most of the year to run, though it does freeze over in the winter. It will run this Summer!
