I can't tell from the pictures but are your axles mounted on the top or the bottom of the spring. If they are on the bottom of the spring you can simply mount the axles to the top of the leaf spring to drop the clearance down about 4 inches. It's a old trick we used to do in reverse on CJ8 Jeeps to gain a little more ground clearance. Hope it helps, Bill

Sure should be ok. Word to the wise if you use as fuse(which is totally all right and just as good) make sure you take a few spare fuses out with you. I used to just tape one or two extra to the inside of my battery box so I new where they were in a hurry. Sucks when you blow a fuse and don't have any spares. :'( Bill

not sure if it submersible but I've seen it at www.autolumination.com Hope it helps Bill

Check out www.autolumination.com They carry a 12v dc rope light available in many colors. Home depot carries a clear channeling that you can snap rope lights into so it looks nice and straight and neat. It attaches with double sided tape. Bill

Yea or that.....

All you need is a stop watch and two set points. Get up to speed and as you pass one point start the stop watch, as you pas the second point stop the watch. Repeat in the same direction with different motor configuration. Lower time wins. Bill

I used to work for a out door power equipment dealership and used to tell people that asked that question, "if you have to ask, you probally shouldn't do it yourself" They aren't really tricky, but you do need some specialized tools. Make sure you need a stator and it's not something dumb like a bad diode in the line before you dive into it. Bill

Yea I'm thinking it wouldn't matter. Your dealing with the same prop pitch in both directions, as well as a DC motor that's equally efficient going in both directions. Now here's a question for you tho, if you have the big motor on and then add the little one being of a lower thrust value would the small one have a positive or negative effect on drag? Bill
