Default RE: RC Surfer

Hi MJ,

The Leopard Motor has been installed and tested......... Wow huge increase in performance and I'm only using 4S batteries. Runtime is even a little better. Doesn't seem like I am going to add or move any weight around...... really fun modifacation.

It was like stuffing a 427 into a 67 Nova!!!! I had to carve into the firewall to make enough room for the 3674. To make sure the deck still had strength, I installed a balsa support column under the stringer.

As you know, I have been tinkering with a removable/replaceable stuffing tube bearing catrridge ..... kinda hard to explain, but it works great so far.

Here are some photos............ There is something very special in one of the photos....... see if you can find it.

Larry
