Well, the big box has arrived, and so have the metal swing arms.







So as everyone does I ripped open the box and began exploring. I soon figured out that I needed a few soring boxes and because I also needed special glue for the ABS the kit is made of a trip to the local hardware store was in order.

I already had downloaded the manual form the internet to do some prior study in how the kit would come together, so as soon as every nut and bolt was sorted I began in building the gear box.

This gear box still puzzels me a bit, It uses two motor, bot only one for driving and the other for steering, But.... they can also work together for more power.
The gearbox housing was a bit warped so I hope this won't cause trouble in the future, but I thing that it will be alright when it is fixed in the hull.







The manifest for building this kit is wel written, but in the first building steps I found some starnge things.
Firstly the tell you the pinion gear shouldn't stick out more than 14mm from the motor huising, but when you put it into the gearbox the gears are misallinged.
Therefore I made theis distance about 16mm, making sure everything fits properly, The other odd thing is hou they want you to put the housing together.
They want you to put the lower and upper half together, and THEN fit to motors inside. Sure this is possible, but why not put the motors in before putting the two halves together. That way you can make sure all the gears fit the way the should and it is less troublesome.
