Darkhedeos,

I have no idea what you are talking about?? Did you e-mail FireFox to ask for decals?? Maybe he prints them in one solid color but is smart enough to know people paint their boats all sorts of colors so he prints them to go with any paint job.

COme over any time after 9am, just let me know when your coming.

 

[Dorkhedeos]

yeah, i asked him, ill just ask him for the orange one

i just learned how to start the engine today rodney taught me how to do mantenance too. when is the inboard motor with a pipe coming? we also need a antennae mount bracket, a flex cable and a strut to complete the project. Does anybody have an extra mini servo i can use for the throttle for the outboard and a prop x-437 or 215? the radio box is too small for 2 standard servos.

what kind of gel cell battery should i buy?

thanks again everyone

Hey guys, well DH like he said learned how to set up his fuel pump to a gel cell and then fill up his main tank in the tunnel. We fired the K&B 3.5 engine up and the thing sounds like a winner!

I showed him how to care for the motor afterwards and showed him what items he'd need to clean it with like WD-40, Marvel Mystery oil and some Corrision X. I gave him a new bottle of Prather After run oil and a brand new Prather jar of flex cable grease.

I explained to him how he'll need to take out the flex cable and grease it up.

What we're gonna do is get the tunnel set up and go run it. After he shows he's got the idea of driving the boat and caring for it we'll do a custom paint job.

The way the radio box had been set up in the past is the best way to do it. He'll need like he asked for, a mini-servo, any brand will do if someone can spare one that would be great. I'm going down to the hobby shop to pick up kwik clips for the 4-40 rods to connect the linkage up to the motor. My LHS doesn't stock much for O/B and I'm fresh out of Throttle Clamps. Anyone have one? or know a creative way to custom makee one from scratch?

I tried to get some pictures of Darkhedeos but he wouldn't let me do it, sorry guys, maybe I'll take a bunch of pictures of his hands while working on this stuff. h34r:
