I have not been able to find the smaller scale 1:25 of this model but would be very interested in the test runs from bugman72. Hows it going?

Took the brick out on the water with stock gear and run 9.6v pack. As you can guess all started to smoke with one of the motors packing up due to overheating and build up of water through the bad hull deck joint.

I've decided only one course of action. Take my two 700BB motors and belt drive system out of my 40" mono hull add my single shaft steerable graupner drive unit and octura 50-1.4pitch prop and run on 12cells. Remove the deck and replace with thin sheet clear plastic.
