The reason there is no vid was the whether not there long enough to get sum. Now for the modifications as I stated the 2 outer motors are now 280tis to get them in I had to cut sum of the supports on the port and starboard you can see this in the photos because this may weaken the hull put extra supports in to the side Putting the new motors in the problem was to connect them to the shafts this was done with sum tubing made for the job you can get it and the motors from www.alwayshobbies.com [/url] The weather was bad snow and windy not a good combo for filming but now the mod’s are dun will try again. Once more sorry to if you have dun it with the small motors the conversion is not hard to do as the 280tis will fit with out having to move the shafts but it must be the 2 outside motors

You've got snow, you lucky blighter - it's just flaming cold down south
