Default RE: my new semi-scale micro build

Well...the motors...SMOKED UM... these cheap little motors made to take 3volts a piece fried, I think the amps killed them...they smoked, reverse stopped, they slowed down, and then when I got home, the end caps were melted, brushes completely gone, so I'm gonna drop in two electrifly 180 size motors, they will fit but are longer and more sturdy...who knows how long they will last...it was fast though, plenty fast, I need to add some trim tabs or something, the bow starts hopping badly...it looks so sweet on the water though and handled very nicely...very practicle little boat if I can get the motors to the point that they will last...heres some pics...no fast running shot or vids yet though...
