Are you planning on producing this commercially, or just one or two boats?Leave a comment:

I've had a few goes at this;
I was never brave enough to install the last one. It was well beyond my comfort zone.

Never did a counter rotating dsign......but I'd go for a gear in the WTC and seal the drive shafts. Shouldn't be that complicated.....Leave a comment:

The prices are too good to be true! Brushless motors are easy to blow dry and service after an afternoons play in the water.
Neat!

Yep. I have one of the smaller ones some time ago that I was planning to use. In the end I sent it to David to play with. I've never run a motor in the wet. Wonder what the life span would be.Leave a comment:

And inherently impossible to purchase. This set up cost me exactly nothing. Made from old gears and spare bearing and shafts and it fits in the rear of the sub quite nicely.Leave a comment:

Well yes.....but no. There isn't enough room in the arse of this thing to allow much of a dog bone connection to anything. I didn't show it in the photographs but the two driven shafts line up perfectly with the output shafts of the SD. Two pieces of silicon tube will make the connection both simple, direct and noise free. No room for a wet motor either unfortunately although I did consider using a tandem out rigger (but then I realised that I sent the only one I had to YOU!) Helicopters rule - wings are for faries!
I hear you about the 'not enough room' issue. I'm working on a very short SD that will leave room for more mechanicals in the ass-end. I'm thinking of replacing the micro servos with linear microbe-sized servos -- that will free up a lot of space. Film at Eleven.
