I've been "working" on this one for a while now. it sat all winter, but i decided to finish it last night. its a miss bud with a brushless conversion. rite now i have a novak 5800ss motor with a waterproof lrp ai esc. if everything goes good with testing, i see a mamba7700 or bigger going in. i used a aqua craft motor water cooling jacket to keep the motor cool, and the crowl of the boat has some holes in it to keep the esc cool. the battery thats in there is just for testing. im going to be using a max amps 6500mah 7.4 waterproof bat on the water.

WOW!

Knowing our past track record with boats, I'm really looking forward to seeing this! ;)

Call me for the test run!

Think I found a better place for you guys to run the boats. On 95th St, west of LaGrange Rd, there is a small lake. There aren't all the weeds that were at the other pond. Yeah, it's a bit bigger, if the boat dies and drifts away, but I know they USED to rent small boats (and small outboard engines for the lazy guys) for a small fee...
