Scale outboards

[truckerbuddy2]

no, its not watercooled, would have been nice if it was. Both the aquacraft boats i have dont have water cooled esc, but the motors are water cooled.

I haven't installed my outboard yet, it will most likely be the EP1 I choose. Does your Profisherman glitch? Mine did!

what motor did you put on it? have you ran the robbe yet? thanks bill

could we git a little more info on haw to cut down the koyosho dolphin. i really like the way yours looks. but the stock motor is out sized and not that attractive. thanks bill payne

Just started working on this, haven't tested on the water yet. I just got the outboard mounted, put in a wood sub-floor, made a box to secure the steering servo to the floor, next I have to make a radio and battery tray to secure the rest of the electronics. I think the EP1 looks much more scale than the Robbe outboard. This hull is a replica of a Glastron GT150.

Hi Bill,

That is a K&B 3.5 (.21) nitro outboard converted for electric motor use. At present, I am using a Mega Midi-6 with a 3-turn armature on 12 cells. It is actually mounted on the Speed Vee right now.

Hi Bill I didn't really do a lot of cutting, I cut out the back of the leg and filled the resulting gap with some two part epoxy putty, and used a longer self tapping screwat the bottom. My biggest change was to scratch build a new cover from styrene as tight around the motor as I could, it still attaches to the stock mounting location. Its not scale but it looks better than stock IMO. Thanks Jay

[bill payne]

thanks jay those close ups of the motor helped a lot . i was about to start cutting on mine. it looks deformed with that huge head on it. i really love outboards. and its hard to find people building and running them thanks a lot
