 Special Notes
This is a GTM Tunnel running a LM Neo 480 17/4. The video is of a final 1 minute run. It shows the motor is wildy underpropped but not able to be caught! After 5 minutes all components were only mildly warm.

For this I used a Novak esc, Sanyo 800AR's, 1/8 straight shaft, blade rudder and a cut and drilled and sleeved bracket which you all know (I thought this was really trick). Servo is a Hitec HS-60 controlled by a Hitec DCX reciever and Lynx 3D. Hull prep was limited to CA'ing deck and hull; sharpening it and installing the motor mount and shaft log.

A couple of bugs to be ironed out - in particular I need to tame the servo a little - this thing can turn on a threepence (dime). Other wise very cool little boat - an it does not leak -YES!!!
