Could've been worse. I order some jeff wohlt couplers last week so should be getting those soon. I should've used a little loctite and everything would've been fine. Going to be a really fun boat.

The set screw couplers are a good choice although this is the first I've heard of the collet style coming loose. Sorry to hear it.

Very cool build. I'm glad the ESC's fit. watch the cap temps on them. I've pulled 80 amps steady through them individually, so you should have plenty of power in that twin setup.

I've been recommending that people use the OSE Graupner K series props to test before using the more expensive props.

Only mentioning because we've all lost too many props to maiden runs. I know I have.

Love the epoxy garage floor. =)

thank you. I've been whatching both of your mono builds and am very impressed. Thing I might do something similar in my next build....as far as this one goes I can't wait to open her up and get some video!

Benjamin, the couple was completely my fault. Overly anxious and didn't do a pre run check on everything. Wanted to also say thank you for the parts I ordered earlier and how they are already being shipped! Wish your billet props were in stock today:) I will just have to wait. I did the floors myself, picked up the materials online. Thanks again, Charles

[well got a really short video, got water in the boat due to cheap hatch tape. One of the esc started acting funny. Motor sputters now and i get no tone when i plug in the esc. But got a short video. still havnt got a chance to drive the boat long enough to even think about setup. If anyone has had this problem let me know what happened and if i can fix the esc. Thanks charles
