She's looking mighty fine Cap. Did you power with original motors, or try something else?

Yahoo!

That is such a GREAT feeling.

I am glad someone else is crazy enough to stick with the old Herc's. :D

Nice...I don't think its crazy. The Hercules motors are as simple as it gets, and are built to run for ever......I think its a bit more crazy not to be using them.
