    hey up jus got given some boats

    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 :wacko:

    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

    erm questionable they dont rev that high at the end of the day there only like a chainsaw engine

    they dont rev like a proper 2 stroke engine lol

    my scooter probably revs higher (only cos its tuned and does 60 )

    lol

    up to you really i mean it might put bit more strain on the crank bearings but i dunno cos iv never really messed with one of them engines just going on when my brother had his fg

    as far as i under stand it needs to have a current MOT to be able to be taken for a VIC test which is were they check the vin numbers the dvla is then notified that it passed and then i can re apply for the documents

    but its been over 2 months now and its still not recorded as anything

    write off ?

    well i went into the garage and doid abit of filing and got it to just mesh reasonable on a 19t 48dp pinion its abit loose but it will do it goes like stink acceleration is really good aswell

    20 t would be spot on i reckon

    tc3 diff

    hiya just wanted to know if anyone had a complete diff with including the spur if you had the out drive bit aswell and bevel or whatever its called would be ideal

    basically the whole thing apart from the diff case

    cheers

    pinions

    Posted · Edited by andy_n

    both the same teeth 26 and they both if like run ontop of the spur feel to mesh fine but there just diferent in size

    i could probably modfy the motor mount to have more movement but wanted to onow if theres any proper pinions

    yep iv had a quick look at the tc3 motor mount and its pretty much the same i hope i can find some pinions or get it sorted cos it seems a pretty good car apart from this

    write then jus wanted to know how the dvla find out about a car becoming a rite off

    my sisters car got driven into and it was said to be a insurance loss cat c

    so insurance companies messed about liek they do then 2 months later came to the conclusion that theyd pay out and give her the car for free

    so she gave me the car

    she got loads of letter explaining stuff and that if she didnt want the car to send the docs away to the other persons insurance company

    so i just wanted to know how do / who notifies the dvla that a car has been written off ?

    cheers
