[F1 madness]

Hey darin good luck,look forward to hearing and seeing a vid of how you get on.
Could you do me favour and measure to see what clearance is available as to whether the leopard 3660 range of motors would fit pls.
Just out of curiosity

What clearance (where??) are you looking for?? There is LOTs of room around the base of the motor to go larger in diameter. As you can see, anything longer than the stock motor, or a UL-1 motor, likely won't fit under the stock cowl. However, cowl covers are relatively inexpensive from ProBoat, so you can always get a second one and butcher it up, like I did.


Here is what the stock motor looks like all bolted up.

Then height of the motor,as the wires do come out of the sides of the leopard 3660.
Just to see if you could still get the cowl with cutting it

The UL-1 motor is 56mm long with motor wires out the rear of the can, folded over and still fits under the cover. The leopard 3660 is 60mm long. (only 4mm longer) I have more than 4mm in height of UL-1 motor wires folded over under my cover.

If the wires sticking out of the "front" of the motor are a clearance issue, you could always turn the motor around and run them backward and around the sides of the motor. I think that would work too.

I also made new mounting holes for the cover... I upped the size to 3.0mm screws, same as the motor screws, and moved the front cover screws over to the side. That way I can get the cover on and off without fear of stripping the screws. You can see the new mounting screws in the attached pic...
