(retry)my brushless super hawaii project..

[eclipse]

ok im going to restart lol

Ok so I am building a super Hawaii brushless boat. I bought my SH at my local hobby shop. It was sitting on the shelf gathering dust for about 5 years and I told myself one day I will buy it. So about a year ago I decided to buy it and I bargained with the people to lower the price so I managed to lower it down to 80$ amazingly. That same day I put it together and ran it and I said wow this thing is slow so the next day I decided to run 2 battery packs (o yea it had the mechanical speed controller) and I gave it full throttle and it was almost twice as fast. I brought it out to the middle of the lake and I heard a loud skipping noise and my boat stopped waited almost an hour for my bout to drift back to the bank I took it apart and the gears where totally stripped and the bushings where destroyed. Thats when I decided the brushless project is on. So basically it was sitting on my shelf for a year until I finally decided to start. Here are pics

you need a strut, and rudder or studder...that one you have looks like the first revolution of the motor and it's toast.
