Yes, 18" is too long. I cut about 6-inches off. The stock flex shaft,however was too short because i had to move the motor mount towards the front of the boat in order to line up the flex shaft/motor coupler. So I needed a longer shaft and also a longer piece of teflon tubing(the white stuff)

Finally received the rest of my parts from Hobbyking this week. Turnigy 180 and some EC-5 connectors. I made a revised servo tray to accomodate the esc and receiver. Covered it, and my plywood hull re-inforcement with a couple of coats of clear polyurethane for waterproofing. Also swapped out all of the deans connectors on my batteries for EC-5 connectors. Made a parallel adapter from ec-5 connectors, deans 12 ga. wet noodle wire, and castle 6.5mm bullets. I have my props set up in order. CF-40 first, then x642, then m445, then m545(thanks for the reccomendations Propperchopper) Gonna have some more time to work on it today and I will post some more pics later.

Got most everything put together today. Shortened motor wires, installed waterproof servo and steering linkage, loctite on everything, motor/esc /radio all work properly. Just need a little more silicone tubing for cooling, and need to adjust my batteries for center of gravity. Just about ready for a test run and am a little nervous.
