Hey everyone,
This will be a very slow build. In fact, I don't even have the boat. I'm in communication with Hans at the moment about it. I won't be able to order till the 21st since I'm out of the country with no way to make a bank deposit...but moving on. I'm starting this early to get ideas, suggestions, and opinions (both positive and negative).

Why I chose the SSS...
This isn't exactly a budget hull, but I really am not interested in having a saw boat or anything like that. I just want to have fun. With that said, Neu and Lehners are definitely not options. My choice for motors were Leopard, TP, and SSS. I decided on the SSS due to all the claims of how efficient and cool they run compared to the other two. In fact, Leopard is the overall worst of the three what all the reading I have done. The plus is that the SSS is actually the least expensive option. The 2000kv is also safe on 6s which would be fun for a quick sprint.
Motor Mount Advice...
The face plate and rear support will be made of 1/4" aluminum. I'll use M4 bolts to attach it to the side plates. I'm kind of lost on what to use for the side plates. I have three options. I can use aluminum, carbon, or carbon/kevlar. Aluminum could bend, takes a while to machine, and is the heaviest as I would more than likely use the same 1/4" stock. It is the cheapest. Carbon fiber could definitely handle it, but how thick is necessary? It cuts relatively easily. I was thinking about 3/16". It would be about 10x as much as the aluminum in cost. Carbon/Kevlar is stupid expensive so I would have to make it myself. I am uncertain of how it cuts. The strength is also a bit of a concern as making it wouldn't exactly be a perfected science like the manufacturers. I would use the glass panel method and build it up to approximately 3/16". It would match the hull as I can get the same weave cloth, but at the same time, that may not be "nice" or "cool". The side plates pictured below are 3/16". It is also 65mm spacing between motor centers which is subject to change.
