I did most of the same mods that PropNutt43 has detailed with the exception of refitting the stuffing tube or remounting the fins, (i just cut mine down and sharpened them). I also went with True RC 7.4V 8000Mah Lipos which give a 10 to 12 minute run without any heat issues at all. I am still tuning and trying different props. So far I have measured 36.7 Mph but figure I can get to the low 40's with some more tuning.
The pond that I run at isn't very big so you can't run flat out and straight for very long before you have to turn. It also has periodic weed issues which messes up the speed and steering. Oh well, it is close
The paint job was done with Testors enamel rattle cans and some pin stripe tape. Don't cheap out on the masking tape - the auto refinishing stuff is worth the extra money. I also had Chris at Raceline Digital do the 'Checkerboard Racing' lettering.
