Default Another Shockwave 36 FE conversion.

Had this boat a while in the loft and decided to get some 'clean' use from it instead of the messy nitro power.
I have most if not all the bits needed.
My son Jack has been pestering me to do it FE for a good while..
Medusa motor,2300kv,a bit 'hot' but will do for 4S,my son runs slowish anyhow[]...ideally 1800kv would be better,but dont have one..
Seaking 180 esc.
Spare Futaba R603FS 3-Channel 2.4GHz FASST Rx
4S 25C 10000mah lipos,2-5000mah packs..
Spare digital servo.
Good selection of props.

I have a spare Etti motor mount..
Will take some pics as work progresses.
day off work today so got stuck in.

Stripped all the inards out and degeased the inside,what a mess!!
Ground a larger area where the lipos will sit after checking cog with all the stuff placed inside,i went for a rough 30% from transom???

I intend to strengthen the hull floor with a good layer of slow drying epoxy where the motor mount will sit,it is very thin..
Plenty of vent holes to fill too.
