A little prop de-lifting
Also, notice that my FE30 builds that use T-180's incorporate the right-angle banjo water fittings to allow a 2P battery configuration beside the SC, but also have the motor and SC spaced so that a 1P setup can allow a single battery to fit properly in front as well.

Allen already had the motor mount fiberglassed in, so I built battery boxes around them and integrated the T-180 mount on them. This'll make a nice P-Mono raceboat.

Frank bought this boat partially completed from an OSE member; the stinger was installed offset to the right - had to move it to to the centerline so the shaft would line up with the rail motor-mount(s). To keep the CG as far back as possible on anything from 4S to 6S I fabbed a vertical mount for the T-180 (a first for me ) but it worked out really nice !
Non-adhesive velcro firmly attached under the box should keep the batt's well in place.

Got the stinger installed & the rudder backing plate roughed out ( to mount rudder high enough to clear the tabs, the top mounting holes come through above the boat's transom backing plate, so I make a reinforcing piece for extra strength - details, details!). Will shorten stinger, mount the rest of the transom hardware, and start the rails today.

Stinger shortened, hardware mounted with all holes sealed, note reinforced upper rudder bolt internal transom backing plate just for added strength since the upper bolts miss the existing transom backing plate. Wil start on rails after my midday nap

Tony's builds are awesome guys and he spends a lot of time on them as if they were all his own boats. I've seen almost all of these boats in person and they are 2nd to none!

Todd wisely chose to go with the Castle/Neu 1515 1Y - T-180 combo. The T-180 was narrowed with 90 degree banjoes to allow for 2P power. High torque EXI D226F servo and the FlySky GT3b radio. Todd has some cool graphics/wraps planned and this boat will really stand out !!

Stephen wanted a dedicated P-Ltd rig, so off we went. Blueprinting the motor wires revealed melted insulation inside the endbell which was sure to cause a big problem (see : "Blueprinting UL-1 motor wires" in the "TIPS" forum.)
Servo rod pass-through is aluminum tube with short bellows. Motor and Turnigy T-120 with an extra cap provide the spec motivation. Velcro will be added for a 1P 4S battery.
