Title: its my ATLANTA...

yes.. truly inspired by the Atlantic Challenger.. and on my hull of Lake cat.. and just looked around me, and found a sackful of brushed motors.. lots of RS 380s.. so turning to them.. added a water cooling jacket with foam board and sealed with PS.. works great.. so powered by the same brushed motor.. with lots of my personal touches.. she is 17 inches long..

thank you Im..
i used to turn in lathe.. so can make couplings.. but will be so expensive, that up to 250/- Rs by todays standards.. but if i use bicycle spokes and nipples.. one drive train will be within 10 Rs/-.. less than a cup of coffee... and , as the nipples are made of brass.. never rusts.. from brush less to smaller one.. i used to use 10 gauge, and 16 gauges for brush less and RS series.. for bigger uses motor cycle spokes and nipples.. last for a long time.. and if worn out.. can replace in matter of minutes..
