Spare Engine-ideas?

sounds ok if you can get a small enough peice to push, but big enough to flot it

You can take two slim peices of plastic or wood, and put one on top, and one on the bottom at the rear of the boat/sled put four holes through both, then sandwich the pieces with the foam in the middle.You should be able to build any type of mount you want on top of the flat piece.

If the foam you are using has a hard pladtic bottom, then bolt whatever you like right through the foam and plastic.

you will have to look for a wa to water proof everything on that boat

dip it into some silicone?

Just go out and buy a plastic toy boat and cut the top off of it and use the smooth bottom of it.Then hook the engine to it and make the rudder or whatever the use a servo to steer it.

that is a good idea!

what if i turn the moter. I would mount a mount to a survo horn. That way there is less fricition on the water and where it really counts, the snow.

great idea, or you could just put a rudder behind the fan so it moves the air xirection , not the engione

Best suggestion would be to put it on Ebay and then spend the money from that on something that will actually work on your truck instead of acting like a weight...

I'm not putting it on my truck and i would get like $5 on ebay for a cox engine. Be side i want to build somthing. The rudder behind the fan is a good idea. You atach a rod to the survo on a large wheel and atach that rod to another one with a pivit that way you dont ripp of the rudders, but how do i make the pivit?
