Radio Box will be a Dr. Bucks radio box with two Hitec 645mg servos for the steering and a hit torque standard for the throttle.
Failsafe is built into the radio, (JR1) MH$ trim tabs... What do think of a bow rail on the hull??? Like this...Just wondering...??? Tom H.

Tom,
I got a few if you need. Also, get the bicycle bottle holder. They sell the bottles in the camping section. Got them in red, blue, orange and silver. Real nice anodized finish. Problem is the cap does not seal shut. You need to replace the screw cap with a rubber expansion nut. Total cost with everything....under 20.

XXX, question on the inline kit. I know you suggest to stick with stock 260's. But what about the carbs? Stock 644's or 257's. And will the linkage kit work on 257's.

Thanks Bull01

Thanx for the reply Raj,,,
I didn't think to look in the Camping section for the bottles !!! Duh...
If I can't find them , I'll give you a shout..
In reply to the linkage working on the 257 carbs..
I would think it would fit..
Haven't tried it on the 257 carbs.. but will have to do that..
Later, Tom H.

I stand corrected on the throttle linkage >>LOL.
See post below from RAJ

Thanks Bull01
LIke inlinezenoahs said, it will only work with the stock or any of the carbs that have the cam shaped piece of metal (with several tiny holes) that acts as the idle/wot stops.

Two of these stockers together makes some serious power and I don't think the cranks can take the abuse of mod motors.

The one I bought has a plastic seal.....Probably better to go with the rubber seal like Raj said,however I checked mine filled up with water and it does not leak.....

I can get em or hit up Raj,as he is the man.....
