Be careful with mechanical reverse, it's quite weak. Many people wreck the reverse gear. But yeah, it should work.

Good luck and keep us posted! Looks good so far!

Right, long run times, cool temps and good speed.

I don't think I'll need reverse much. I'll mostly be running it in fairly open areas. But for those rare times it might be nice to have. This isn't a racer so a little weight for some added convenience is fine. I plan on hanging around and keep you all updated with progress. This is a nice forum with a fair bit of knowledge and talent so I'll be around.

Looks like the motor is at an angle?

No, you are correct the motor was at a slight angle. There is a blurb in the post about it just being set in there. I did bolt it on today though.
