| I'd just put a brushed setup from a car in there, won't cost too much and a bit of sillicone to waterproof it shouldn't be too hard. |

| Yup, best way :D Seeing yours and Iains has made me want to get a little something to play with, bidding on a little 400 motor powered race boat which I'll do a bit of redesigning to if I get it. |
