    that Sv motor might tear those gears up, you gotta mesh them just right...I'm trying to find a machinist that can make some stainless steel ones...what ever the price, as long as they last.....

      DON'T mesh them real tight, thats a dumb move, it will heat up the motor and make the motor pull more amps.

        I know a guy that I will talk to about making us some gears Prince

          I use cigarette papers to set the spacing between the gears.

            Keep me informed Avanti...outboards is my thing I like the realism...For me my models HAVE to look like a scale down version of the real thing It just adds to the realism to me, for me I just can't put a motor and some cells in a box...I'm just a kid at heart...I'd like to get a dual outboard BJ going by spring...But not if I have to put brass gears in it, to much of a hassle

                Yea, but you'd have to ask steve if they can do brushless...I remember the Guys at AC saying their outboard could handle brushless...it can for about a couple of good runs....Those gears...and the need to also make replacement not sure what you call them, but they support the shaft coming out the back......

                  What, you don't have that gear mesh feel watts? Man thats the first thing in RC i learned was how to set proper mesh....I can set mesh on anything without papers :D not bragging but I leave those to the roller for smoking

                    RCprince if they are talking about the EP-1 yes they can handle BL motors. But the gears dont like the BL motors so u have to change the gears every couple of runs.OB motors and replacement parts the gears are right below the EP-1 the gears are 24 bucks a pack. I dont know about the outdrive tho heres a link to Graupner site Z drive info. It sounds like it is a straight shaft no gears. U will have to ask steve on this one but i think it will work with a BL system.

                      Thats a lot for gears that have to be replaced to often. I have always like the I/O units, and OB motors. The scale look is nice, but they do not perform. Guess it's always a trade off.....

                      Plus, Steven has been out of stock of the graupner 600 I/O unit for atleast a couple of months now. I was interested in one a while back, I still have not seen them come in on the website.

                        I've bought a couple of replacement pairs already from Steve...I need steel now...brass gears are not ready for brushless applications....
