    I did the usual heavy mix of epoxy/silica/fiberglass, poured it in, rolled it around, etc. So far after so many heavy crashes there are no cracks or any stress marks. I also did the expandable foam which glued the two parts together. And I did the nose tip epoxy flood which made the entire nose solid epoxy. I've never had a hull fail after this kind of stuff done to it.

      That's what I figured, thanks for the info, I'm getting a better idea of what I would like to do. Still unsure if I want to go with a bigger 36xx motor or stick with a smaller set up like the tp 29xx

        I picked up the same hull cause i wanted a boat to run from my deck instead of taking the 1:1 out =)

        So far i like it... reading this makes me wonder, but so far everything seems strong enough and no issues with a few crashes ive had.

        Really look for some suggestions of mods (props first... then esc / motors?) I bought 4 3s batteries so im wondering if im stuck with 3s, i suppose i could possibly build a dual 6s setup? and run all 4 batteries at once lol ...?

            Next is the motor mounts and rudder which I still need to figure out due to the awful rear section design. I can't remove the original rudder and install the one I want, so I'm forced to use what's there.


            Note: I ended up using some floating bushings instead of the smaller ones pictured. Figured it would hold the cables better since they are longer. Also nevermind the crappy hatch cutout work, I'm still working on that to open up more hatch space.




            Where did you get the shaft bushings? I was just going to get a pair of 4mm flexshafts because they would fit without mods, but I have a pair of 3/16" shafts sitting here, so it would be cheaper to just get those bushings that you have there. Thanks!
