Here is my latest project . I am converting a hitro tunnel to FE.

pics posted below.

Can't see picks unless you register!!

I'd be interested in your experiences though... I've been toying with idea of adding a brushless boat to my collection. Most likely a tunnel.

Sorry i forgot about that. As you can see i had to fill in the space between the radio box & fuel tank box . I also had to make it taller to fit my 4s lipo . You can also see my servo & esc tray .

Here are some more pics . Here you can see the new RR plate with all the pass thru tubes. There is two for the linkage , 3 for the motor wires & the top 2 are for the water cooling.

That "outboard" looks cool, but boats are all new to me.

Thank's:smile:. Boats are new to me as well . Im learning as i go.

That's the fun of it!:yes:

Cool looking project. I have always liked boats...but, fearful of them breaking down half way across a lake and having to go fetch it..

Yeah, but you could wear some red trunks and aviators and do it Hasselhoff style.

Don't hassle the Hoff.

Boat looks good Mike. I like that gangsta mount you have, looks very blingy. Adjustment is key for a tunnel. That mount should serve you well.

I had a regular fiberglass tunnel from aquacraft, never did get it in the water. I will have to take a pic of my new "back yard". I think you will like it!

Thank's :smile:. The mount is called a hi-jack mount . It has four screws that hold to mount in place . when you loosen them then you can turn the screw in the middle . The mount will move up & down like a jack . It also has two sets of mounting holes ( high or low) . So you can offset the mount to either direction . Depending on what hull you have . It sure could use a nice paint job :gasp::lol:.

Hey Mike, That looks great !
I've thought about doing much the same but the smaller boats just don't wind my clock that much.
It would be nice to have that hydro anyway tho, Archie and most of the boys all have the same hydro but all smokers of course. When you get this thing together and tested you should bring it buy and show these thicked headed die hards what a BL boat can do !

Thank's JEFF :smile:
I went to archies the other day to get a few things that phils did'nt have . They diffenitly seem like they prefer nitro .
