Hi
I am about to start a Springer for a bit of fun :-)
I am looking to conform to specs
Which motor ? geared or not ?
Prop which one ?
Thanks in advance Clive

The specs are around if you search you should find some sites with drawings(might be around here somewhere to).
I think its max 40mm 3blade prop and 6V brushed motor if you plan on joining any competition.
I recently built mine with 12V and 540 55T crawler motor turning a 35mm 3blade prop, works great but will change my motor for a 80T because it's a little fast.
If you need help i can try to upload the hull drawing for you. It should be 457mm long and 200mm wide.

There you have almost all info needed.
I have direct drive in mine but depending on motor and purpuse you could gear it down if you like
