    Wow, lookin' nice!
    That's a very neat wiring job on the motors. Any tips? Not sure if I'll be using Deans or Powerpoles. I've got a good supply of shrink wrap on hand but still need to buy wire.
    I hate soldering (mostly b/c I'm no good at it) but am considering getting one last soldering iron. Thinking about buying one of THESE p>
    What water channel material are you using? Didn't see it in the thread above and it sort of looks like the expanding foam cut off flush to forms.
    Those turrets rock!

    Hi Powder

    Looking good. You do very nice looking work, I wish I could make myself spend more time on the SS like you do.

    But he may not of caught it before he put it in his secret testing pond, and all it would of done, was go in circles.

    WILL! Tone down the tuff talk please... Your not sinking a BB with your CA and if you keep talking like this you will not find a place to hide (island Yamato)when they come pounding on you . The best thing you can do is lay low watch and learn. Drive you boat have a good time and spend lots of time looking into Vetern boats.

    Loose lips sink ships ;)

    Your friend,
    Plato :D

    Thanks Plato, its nothing general, its just monk. And im not planning to sink his BB, im not suicidal.
    Do i have to hide from a Yamato if i have a Graf spee? Arent we on the same teams?
    Thanks for the advice, Will.

    No son, you dont have to hide from me but if you keep poking the bear with a stick you wont be able to hide BEHIND me lol. If they pick on you then you will be protected. If you bring it on yourself by yapping up a storm then you set yourself up. But Monkey learned this last year. Now dont make the mistakes he did. He is has had some driving xp this past year and his BB is coming along great. You dont want any part of that in your CA. Like I said, kick back enjoy your boat and learn how it works. You will enjoy this hobby more. I myself do my share of talking smack but I drive a big nasty boat and I have paid my dues. Further more, I do it to my friends only.
    Just my 2 cent,

    Plato
