This is a picture of my newest Whiplash. Here is a link to the build album. Inside the album are comparisons to a prototype version of the 31" stable version. There is a video of the boat running in the album as well. https://photos.app.goo.gl/tJJHqFaomq2WBudM8
In speaking with Brian Blazer today he told me the new 20/P Whiplash is very near being ready for release. Here is a link to the build photos of a 31" P Ltd Whiplash. Note: This is NOT the final version but I assume it will be similar.

Pete Luzenski sells the kits. There are different sizes. Those above are 31" intended for P ltd FE. You can contact him on OSE. I think he goes by Shooter over there. I built the boats pictured above for a person in Michigan.
Can you run the pushrod out past where you need to be and then bend it in a "U" to come back to the arm. That will give you room for a boot and your connector.
