Thx Tim got a lot done tonite, mounted motor and stuffing tube bracket. Got rigger and rudder mounted and ran water lines. Got a nice lil dual water outlet on side. Just used Velcro for battery and ESC mounts for now. I will epoxy them later. Just got to mount servo holder and drill stuffing tub and install linkage rod for rudder tomorrow and may be able to take a few runs out back.Im happy with the way the guy did the paint and airbrushing.

I guess with that said,
Practice a few times with girlfriend makes perfect.
Ps.
You should take the in water line going to the mount,
And change it so it is going to the low nipple on the jacket first.
Than out the top nipple of the jacket to the mount nipples and out exit port,
It will let any air out in the jacket and line and should give better cooling to.
In the long run because it fills the jacket to the top and than over flows out the top nipple.
Something like this.

Thx Lenny will change that
SloHD I snapped the regular 4mm nipple on water jacket and ordered those 5mm banjos from Kintec and just tapped a new thread to 5mm. They look nice too.
Thx Chris I got everything in now and just bench tested it and seems fine. About to walk out back and drop in in the water for first time...
