The FOA Panther development chassis is currently equipped with a one to one reduction to the drive axles. The system will support up to a two to one reduction which would drop the Panther down to 4.5mph or so. The new FOA drive system is designed to be a universal module that will drop into any hull (FOA or otherwise) with a minimum of 10" inside width and 5" height. The module supports 250 or 450 watt motors and builder select-able reduction. The outputs are keyed 5/8" industrial shafts that are cut to the desired length by the builder. The module requires only two mounting points and minimal structural integrity from the hull. It will be offered as a stand alone kit.
