andy_n Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) hiya guys im into nitro and leccy cars and my mates been clearing out his garage and he asked me if i wanted boats i said yes as you do cant refuse a freeby any way he brought them up to my house and there massive smaller one is about meter and a half and the other is easily 2 metres long iv decided to look at the smaller one first as it looks abit moderner its made out of fiberglass i think and the other is wood so i have found that they both used to be powered by an engine of some sort but im going to make the little one into leccy as someone has half done it already what i need to know is what size motor and does it need to go through any gearing so far iv just made a kind of set up which i could use as there wast anything to connect it to a motor iv got the outdrive but off of a car and the shaft and thinking about welding another outdrive / diff cup dont know the name to an old pinion gear then straight to the motor would that work ? cheers Andy Edited December 2, 2007 by andy_n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electric Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 you could try and see if you can get 2 900+ size motors in it. would give it enough grunt as they are more torquey than top speed. there are a few on ebay for not much or rip up your old broken vacume cleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
