finally picked up the P1 - what a beautiful hull.
Well, I didn't like the tray, the 1/8" flex, the 4mm stub, the 42mm max prop diameter, nor the motor. so I gutted her and stripped off all the hardware.
I laid a layer of heavy fiberglass and whipped up a custom motor mount; that and the stuffing tube are curing right now, so pics on the way. For hardware, I had picked up an MHZ inline for my MHZ shockwave, but it was a bit big for it.... perfect for the P1 AND I can run up to 46mm prop. I will be running my Castle 1520, .150 flex and 3/16" stub. With 1600KV motor, I have my options from 4-6S. I added a set of turn fins and am stewing on torque roll defenses.
Here is the Strudder I went with. I reckon a Fullers might work as well. The problem was that this guy also was set up with the 1/8" to 4mm flex/stub... exactly the same as the venom strudder. So I spent a good bit of time with the stuffing tube of the MHZ hardware and jamming bits of imperial measurement K&S inside so I could run a speed bushing and get me down to the 3/16" inside the strut. I stopped the stuffing tube just at the transom and let the liner bridge the gap between transom and strut. Again, pics to come. I ended up making a 1.5" spacer to get the strut back even more, wanted the prop back closer to 3".
