An attempt to clone the cc/Neu2200 motor

[Bondonutz]

I think this is the same motor but different KV ?

I got my 2200kv castle motor for $110, for a grand total of 33 cents more than the clone. I would much rather go with the real deal.

Hmm...


Motors = meh, but interesting perhaps.

Boat = ZOMFG... **jizz jizz jizz** I like it even more than the new traxxas one- will definately have to fulfill my dream of a large-ish BL boat sooner rather than later

Read the feedbacks and reviews prior to spending your $$ Neil.
Lots of Cons with few Pro's, It is a big good looking boat tho !

Motor seems to be the main complaint though, and a few leaks reported- I can remedy that with a new motor & silicon sealant

Im still looking around though, there are so many nice deep-Vs out there its hard to chose a single one, though I'd mainly be pootling around rather than racing at full-tilt constantly ( there is a nice square mini-harbour in the middle of town, lots of gormless tourists to impress over the summer.... ). clicky

I know there is an active group of fast electric boaters in Tobay, I meet them at the nats every year, the south west area seems to be the most active FE area in the country, you may want to check out SWAMBC and go for a class capable boat in case you want to race in the future, I like bashing cars but nothing beats racing boats.
