Have been looking at motors there are hundreds different, also am even more confused when looking at brushless boat motors, most are watercooled inrunners approx 3000 - 3900kv, also found my brushless edf which is 4300kv, all these are high reves, low torque.
did see a low kv turnigy aquastar that needs a 128 amp controller add on a couple of lipos = £200 total or more, will take all the fun out of my cheap bargain buy.
Paul, I would love to have put resin on inside of front of boat, but as I said I cannot as there are 2 bulkheads in the way, see pics with 2 roes of pins going into the 2 ply formers/ bulkheads, I do not want to use 2 inch hole cutter and make two large holes through the top deck in it,
then apply the resin evenly with a brush, smaller holes and a shake of the hull the resin may not cover evenly or go all over the inside, plus you would have to use a large amount in the hope that it did.
Hand sanding paint on outside of hull back to bare wood, is risky, plus too tricky to use electric sander on thin ply skins,
I also do not want to cover outside of hull in fibreglass mat and resin, I will use epoxy glue on outside around the front where top deck joins hull, as is a weak point on most boat hulls and also epoxy on inside in places I can access.
Ian I did say veron/aerokits, as always get the two mixed up, it is an aerokits 34" one, yep an ed hunter would make it move, though never did get the hang of the comp lever on an ed bee in fast patrol launch I had, wow over 50 years ago time flys, I did fit a 5cc glow in similar size 35" fibreglass mtb once, result was a very fast right hand circle then it dived to the bottom of the pond on a crowded bank
holiday, I waded in fully clothed and recieved a big cheer when I found it, the main reason want to fit electric this is a very old wood hull, vibration from a glow motor might shake it to bits so my plan b just gone out the window.
All your help guys and any suggestions is much appreciated, have built and had boats and all types engines, scale, sail, speed etc ages ago, but woodwork, electric motors and me do not get on, more used to, see pic of my last rebuild/renovation, excuse the light reflections making paint look yeuk in places.
I like a bit of extra speed above scale as well paul, i e warp factor 10 mr sulu.
