WTB or trade(found one thanks)

[aakaak]

I am looking for an OS .65 VR-M abc engine to match the one I have. I would prefer one with the drum type intake but will take what I can get. I would also be open to trade this one for two others of equal size or power output and not nessessarily OS.

Also I am looking for two jet drives either the Graupner power jet or some thing close to it that will accept up to .90 glow engines or more.

Included pic of full scale boat I am making the model of.

Several years ago I saw the jet drives you mentioned at a swap meet, and don't believe they will stand up for very long with a glow engine, especially a 90. They might work with a 21, but from what I have seen, they were designed for electric. They are only plastic with bushings, and have a plastic impeller. Make sure you study up on them before you get them. For a 90 sized pump I would expect at least pot metal with some type of ball bearings to give some fair life to the seals.

Just my observations, John in Huntsville

Hi John thanks for the advice. The ones I am actually looking for are here http://www.hobby-lobby.com/jetdrives.htm No these are not the ones I really want. But seeing as how the boat I am building is a first hull never been built model ( as far as I know) I want to make sure things will work first. the units I really want are here http://www.swashdrive.com.au/hydrojet/hydr..._main_frame.htm. But I really don't want to spend that kind of money until I know this whole thing is gonna work.

Wow, that link you sent has a serious pump!!! I had no idea that anyone was making that type of quality for R/C!!! Even the $169 one from H-L is new to me, guess I need to check what they carry more often. All I ever saw was the plastics. Thanks for sending me the info, it was quite interesting. Also sent you an Email. Later, John in Huntsville
