well i had a chance to do some work on the boat again today.i got the water jackets installed and i mocked up the motor placement.i am gonna fit the wire drives and cut them to length. now i need to get some waterline and i will be installing the motors and the water line.following that will be the esc install along with the receiver!!!

Arent you going to have any problems with no rear support on the motors?Or they dont need?
Looks cool thow!

I'm thinking it will need rear support.

Anyone tried 4082/1800s in the Z? I'm thinking of doing a bit of experiment. These motors are from my old Zonda setup. I know rear support is needed but wondering performance wise with T180 and x447s how it would do?

That Hydro-dip is pretty sexy man.

I still haven't gotten around to repairing my split hull from when I flipped and hit a lake side curb last summer. Need to get into it.

well got the rear supports from off shore today to support the rear of the motor.i guess its time to get going again lol!!

[baller69]

well after i few hours of trying to get my sausage fingers inside of he boat i finally got both motors installed.done for the day.now its time for the escs i guess :)-

[TRUCKPULL]

It looks like you need Left and Right motor water coolers, so your output is at the top rear of the motor, and the inputs both point towards the inside of the hull.

yeah they only come one way so have to make do.it will force the water through still.

[TRUCKPULL]

yeah they only come one way

That's funny because I have three pair of Left and Right coolers, two pair 36mm the other pair is 40mm.

[baller69]

all i could find 40mm was the same so they will have to do.and i was lucky to even find those.lots of 36 around but 40s are hard enough to come by as it is never mind left and rights.everywhere i looked only had the one so they will do!

I just loctite a set screw into the old hole Then drill & tap a new hole in the right place. Easy Peasey.
