FOR COUNTER ROTATION YOU JUST BUY THE ENGINE MOUNTS FROM SONIC RACING IN AUSTRALIA EVERYTHING THERE TO DO THE JOB
IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE THE FINISHED PROJECT THOU. AND WHAT DID IT GO LIKE IF IT'S BEEN ON THE WATER??
GOT ONE TO PUT TOGETHER MYSELF BUT TO MANY PROJECTS AT THE MOMENT TO EVEN START IT .

RE: 1.7m CT 04 CAT Build 2XZens
jsut a quick update , johnny poped round last weekend to pick up his radio for the hull , i know he has been very busy at a new job but plans to get back on to it very soon
the hull is 90% there , but has not been in the water
the rotation of the zenoahs is done by turnning the r/ h engine arround and driving offf the fly wheel , danny at sonic can do the mounts of you can make your own
i will talk to john soon and tell him to get his finger out
, but as far as i know we will both hit the water very soon and will video it as well

Looking nice Johnny. Have you managed to source a flex cable that is wrapped the "wrong" way for the reverse drive engine?

jonh look awwesome , one thing i dont see is shaft savers on your drive shafts if it were to loosen or break say bye bye to your prop shaft and prop . id consider doing this , im building the same boat and feel it is a must if you want to protect your investment .
