    Diego, the build looks great!!! I'm surprised how close the antenna matches. I have that deans connector if you want to do another rendezvous. Just let me know.

    Astro Cooler:

    Link: http://bbyracing.com/elechardware.asp (scroll to very bottom) He may have in different sizes available. I can't remember if I asked him that. I would recommend replacing the fittings with right angle or 90 degree type.

    Okay, so she's not really done. I still need a male Deans! Then I can cut the battery wires to length

    I don't know what an Astro cooler is, but Steve E told me that the cooler on this motor was also a prototype that he had custom machined for it.

    What is an astro cooler, the only reason i even asked diego is because i have already contacted steve elias and he told me you cant get one. This is the only one as i was informed. Correct me if wrong

    I know, I wouldn't have had the heart to even jokingly mention that one.

    I'm not saying anything else about it. I just seems a shame.

    Just my opinion, and I'll get off the soapbox.


    ...but the right sponson has the water pick-up.

    I think that's wrong. If I'm not mistaken, that was custom made for the original. That just seems a shame, especially since he can pickup an Astro cooler for his purposes. I'd sooner give you $25 not to see it broken up. It's one of the integral elements of the design for that one in particular. While you're at it, I'll take the left sponson please...

    Just my opinion, and I'll get off the soapbox.

    You are correct, they are much stiffer than we require. (thick rubber)
    Try petsmart - nipples (bottle) for newborn small pets work great and have a double lip - just have to enlarge the hole for the servo rod.
