      Got word from Monica, they are going to install the 40mm motor mount ring! Seems TFL is really quite on top of their game.
      Too many boats, not enough time...

          So far all the dealings I've had with TFL and Monica have been topnotch! Definetly the best overseas company I've dealt with!!

            So I have to modify my PTSS for LSH and or P-Sport Hydro to make it legal for the nats? Very major bummer

                    It's not a big hassle, the boat is gutted anyway but, thank you once again!

                    I looked up Mike Ball's thread on modifying the hull, rules ya know

                            Version 2 of the PT Stealth 30 is NAMBA Legal. It was the original version that wasn't. Transom bottom was about 1/2" too narrow.

                              Hi.
                              The leads are the safety loop that we must use for racing here in Australia.
                              I epoxy a piece of 3/8" timber with two holes in it for the female bullets, under the deck. Two holes drilled through the deck to match.
                              The female bullets, with a short piece of wire and a connector to suit the battery on one & the ESC on the other, are epoxied into the timber protruding through the deck a bit.
                              The actual loop is a short piece of wire with a male bullet on each end.
                              Here's a pic of the loose bits.
                              The other piece of timber & brass tube in the pic is just a water outlet.

                              See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!
