    thanks
    The mod won't hurt the handling (if anything it will help) but he's saying with all the power of BL the upgraded hardware will handle much better then the stock stearable outdrive. But if you are going brushless it's a must to at least do the .098 cable drive because the stock streight drive with the plastic u-joints won't hold up and will cause lots of vibration and resistance causing unwanted heat. So just do theflex drive conversion and you can allways switch the hardware out later. Even if your going to do just run the stock motor the flex is a good upgrade. Some run the upgrade and a 3s lipo which gives great speed.

        I will predict....31.625 mph against the wind. 34.950 with the wind.
        If ladies in bikini's present 33.5 then into the wall!!

          My real guess is 24-28 mph.

            I like the bikini / wall scenario
            The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

                      My guess is that it'll try to leap out of the water, but I will not goose the throttle like last time. 32MPH is my estimate.

                        You fell for it! That is too funny!

                        Hey Diego, it was nice and sunny here. You know how brittle ABS gets in the cold.

                            What? No 70's or 80's? Like I said, Cold. You don't want Dirty to catch a cold running that cat, do ya?

                              Dirty is gonna put his renegade against the cat. He was supposed to put the arrow wind against it.
