So are there gears in those motors? And if so they must be all metal and pretty rugged to hold up to the abuse of these large brushless motors, huh? Also can you change the gear ratio?

Yeah they are gear driven, but the gears are brass so you replace them often! What we need is to find someone to make them out of something stronger!
I suppose you could if you could find the gears but they aren't offered from anyone yet!
But hey these things look sharp on the water and at speed! Not in the water but .....We did it with a Bang!

Eodman, Sweet, nice ...Yes the 9L fits under the original cowling with about 3 to 4 mm of space left, the gears are brass and i change them every 2 to 4 heavy runs, the thing is the gradually throttle up, the gears are 1 to 1 only...been looking for months for some steel gears or harden gears, no luck yet...Samuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment

My goal is to find some steel gears and put a 4100 kv Neu in an ep1 powered by a 4s on a BJ....look I'd pay a 100 bucks for some steel gearsLast edited by RCprince; 01-08-2008, 09:55 AM.Samuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment

I have a SV but it's not outboard powered. I did however build an outboard for my TopSpeed 2. I looked at the EP1 but read that the gears wouldn't take much power and it doesn't accept 3/16 props. So I got a complete carbon lower from Fullers that is set up for electric motors and accepts the more common 3/16 props. I made a lower motor cover and used the EP1 upper cover. The Fullers lower was designed for modified 3.5cc nitro engines so it can handle most brushless motors with ease. I installed an AMMO 36-56-1800 and ran it on 6s. Speed on the TS2 is in the mid 50's checked with a GPS.
Heres some pics.

The Ep1 handles a 3/16 prop all you need to do is change the original shaft for an octura 4mm to 3/16 shaft perfect fit with just a lil sanding on the 4mm side so the bearings and gear slides one. plus I like the realism... It handles a max 640 prop...with the water pick up removed.... with the ride plate trimmed back you could place a large prop, I've run a 645. Next week I'm gonna run my SV with a "real" Camera an this time and a New GPS.Samuel Johnson - “An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.” William Cooper "listen to everything, read everything, and believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research!"Comment
