    Im quite curious as well. I really like the minis made my Minicatracing just unsure of getting something so small. Debating either one of those or trying to find a used vac-u-pickle or DF hydro.

          I've been looking at that for quite some time. Can't wait to see what you can do with it!

            That looks to be a pretty nice little setup. And im sure with this boat being so small you really save alot on electronics as well. What do you plan to use for a motor mount and whats your power plant gonna be? So far Im thinking of following your footsteps.

              I have one of the struts I would have to measure it but there is not a lot of adjustment available. It is like .187 to .25 max

                After recent testing at the pond in some of the smaller stuff, I recommend trying a 380L Yes it's overkill, but on my Oberto and with Diego's Warrior, it's ridiculous! And lots of fun too!

                  Jim I havnt seen the strut close up but it seems you could dremel the strut to adjust farther if need be

                    I ordered this mount and plan on running a 380l with a hextronix 120 or one of those 60amp seaking esc's on 3s

                      I think there ia a little more you could open up the hole but it seemed ok as long as you could mount the bracket near the bottom which is easy in most boats. It would also be easy to make a different bracket to lower it even further if needed.

                        I'd go with the water-cooled mount

                            Oops, use the link again, I fixed it. In the 380 only size, there's one in stock. Sorry for the confusion.

                              OK, somehow the link doesn't work. Go to motor mounts, then one down from the 380/540 size, you'll find the 380 only size. There's also the ETTI version at the bottom of the page for 380 size.
