scale outdrive pretty cool

[DoktorC]

Those are very cool!!!

[moparbarn]

those are a really nice detail for any rc boat. as much as i like ob tunnels, the current rc motors don't do them justice. i didn't realize all the different manufacturers and styles they had made. that's a nice collection you have.

Thanks for the compliments.My wife thought I was off my rocker when I bought them.I even have there sales brochure from IH.

[moparbarn]

just put them in the closet next to her shoes, she'll understand then.

Thats a good one.I can tell you havn't seen her closet. Since you go by Moparbarn what do you have. I'm a big mopar fan myself. We are working on a 73 Roadrunner at the moment.

i have a 73 charger, 71 fury 1 ex fl. hwy. ptrl. car, and a 68 valiant 4 dr. 'sleeper'. check my post #7 on 'round 2 any saab owners in the house?'. for a better description of them. where are you located? ever go to carlisle? my first car was a 60 fury-HUGE fins. been a mopar nut ever since. i like the old muscle cars best, but was really trying to like the new ones until the charger. why did they take the ONLY dedicated 2 dr. b body and bring it back as a 4 dr? had a lot of other names to use. a charger doesn't have 4 drs! kinda killed it for me. maybe cuz i have one, so i took it personal. but, if you read mopar mags, a LOT of other people agreed with me-right on the cover, too. what else do you have, besides the runner?

I hate the new charger too. I sent them a little hate mail about it. I drove a 69 Charger RT 440 4 speed car when I was in high school. My brothers and I HAD 69 Charger RT,68 Charger 440 dual 4 barrels,69 Superbee 383 4speed.70 SuperBee 440 Sixpak auto. What we have left 73 Runner with soon to be a 408 450hp stroker.79 e58 360 300(50,000 miles),66 Belvedere 40,000 miles and my Modified 91 Twinturbo stealth. I want to buy another 69 Charger but the price they get for them I am going to wait and buy the new Challenger.
My wife drives a 2004 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 Hemiand we live in northern Wisconsin.

The Rc outdrive is an amps outdrive, they were NOT made in the usa at all, They were infact made in cambridge england.
The company that owned AMPS was infact called TM PRODUCTS.
I Bought one back in 1984 and it cost me about £150. they can be used for nitro engines upto 15cc or gas engines upto around 35cc.
They are just as fast as surface drives, and act in the same way as full size outdrives.
The more you put in, the more you get out, they do have A power trim facility like already meantioned.
They were built to be 1/8th scale mainly for tunnel hulls, but could ofcourse be used in mono's as well.

I did run mine with 38cc chainsaw on a 52 inch offshore power boat for shortwhile, and it took that power no problem.
The only thing to let it down was the uj being made of plastic, but once a metal one was made, it was perfect.
The lower unit main shaft can be taken out and gear reversed for contra rotation if you want to use twin set up.

this shows full outdrive including inside the transom plate.

I was a international Hobbies dealer from 84 to 91 and they were bullet proof if maintained, and would keep up with a cable driven boat if rigged correctly.
