    outdrive

    beleive int'l hobbies was the co. not sure about them, but the outdrive isn't available anymore. i have seen a few on ebay, seem to bring decent $. 80 to 120 range. but i don't recall ever seeing any parts for one. never looked, either. i usually crawl over the rc boat stuff pretty good, and don't remember any parts listings. bearings could probably be matched up, but if it's a gear drive (looks like it), that stuff could be unobtainium. got to agree, pretty neat looking unit. a lot simpler than stuffing boxes, struts and rudders.

    ya they look cool..dont run nowhere as fast as surface drive..I want to say I pd $275 for it? new and that was at least 10 years ago..see the little bronze tube pointing down at it? that sprays water on the drive joint keeping it cool..if it ever blows I will scrap it anyway..there was a guy from Dracut that made real nice outdrives a bit bigger and not as good looking but way stronger...

    they have an optional piece that allows you to manually adjust the trim, or set it up on a 3rd channel so you can adjust while running.

    AMPS outdrive

    just found a thread on int'l. waters (rc boat forums). that is an AMPS outdrive-was distributed by int'l. hobbies. both companies out of business. original owner of AMPS had sold everything off in lots. he found a guy here in the states that wanted to continue building them. original owner was trying to buy back the stuff needed to manufacture them again. last anybody knew, the deal fell through. the guy here in the states had a web site called customrcboats-dead also. if you want any names or more info, google AMPS outdrive, and follow the links to int'l. waters. $405.00!!!, i know my stuff is smaller (.21 ob), but with a little hunting on ebay, i could buy 2 boats ready to run for that money. the smaller stuff may not have the bling factor or speed, but i can afford to run it and fix it when it tears up-and it will. blew the rod out in my 3.5 mod k&b ob sunday, got VERY lucky, didn't hurt the rest of the motor-but it will only cost about $20 to fix. that kind of fun i can afford.

    Thumbs up amps

    I have a few of the AMPS Outboards. They are very cool and hard to find parts for but they can be found. They run in the low 40's for the 11'cc on a good day.These outboards sell anywhere from 200.00 to 1200.00.I watch the cowl for a merc sell for 200.00 on ebay a month ago.They were made from the late 80's to about 1991.They made tunnels,deepvee's.and speedboats.
