While you've already done most of the engine mounting work - do you reckon you could spin the counter gear around and move the engine forward an inch and a half? Then you can make the cooling head stick out the 'hood' of the bodyshell I've always wanted to do that but I've mostly moved to electric stuff now.

You'll need to work around the steering somehow but I reckon you would manage.
That would be cool. I believe the head will come through the body where the windshield and the hood meet.
As of now, I don't have much room to play around for steering. I may have to make a linkage and put the servo on the other side of the tranny. And then there is the linkage for the throttle and brake.......hmmmmm....
I'm sure I will find a way to make it all work.
Thanks man.
