I know, I know!

Where's your sense fun man!?

There are no savings to be made in terms of reliabilty or weight, but thankfully there are few points of electrical failure- 9v battery, 2 wires, and a little dc centrifugal pump. Even if the pump died or the batt went flat, the liquid would still aid in cooling, a little bit. That, and 5 gallons of silicon sealant should prevent any leaks...

I've come up with a better solution for the radiator/reservoir though- a low profile tank fitted underneath the rear driveshaft- should keep the CoG low, and made from machined aluminum it wil be light and damage proof pretty much.

I will be buying a decent motor though- 70mm medusa when they get here this month, then all this watercooled non-sense shall come to an end.

What can I say, I get bored easily- and this is a fun project that doesnt cost much.
