        You will need a flex cable and prop shaft.Not 1/8 rod

              Sounds good. What kind of tube should i get? I will check at my hobby store and see if they have flex tubing because they have a boat section.

                Sorry Mason,I'm doing a build/paint job for someone on the side. You should just get your parts and then go from there.You could for now prep the hull.Sand all the old crap off,wetsanding works best for this.Just get it looking smooth for primer.

                  You could ask the dude with the TFL strudder if it is for a 4mm shaft and if it has bushings.If it is as I figure then you'll need a 7/32 brass tube.Is that a bidding thing or just a buy thing on e-bay?

                            No. I dont go to the pool much, i have the nose of the boat filled with foam tho. What else could i do... Also, can i run a water cooling from the rudder, to the motor, out the motor, to the esc, out the esc, and out the boat?

                              That is the idea.Only in this order,From rudder to ESC,out ESC to motor,out motor ,out boat.If the nose has foam in it that should do it.

                                Ok. After i finish putting the electronics in, should i fill the rest of the hull up?
