    New to RC boats

    Hey!!.... just wanted to chime in and say hello... and of course ask a few questions.I have a new RTR Miss Geico on order...

    -how do I tell if I have the correct flex shaft...(read of issues)
    - I am thinking of using 2x 2s 45c lipos, will these be Ok with the 45a ESC, also what would your guess be on the aceradge run time for this set up?
    - How do I set the VLC and what would you reccomend I set it to?
    -any suggestions on a prop upgrade?

    I apologise for all the questions. I just want to get into the water without wasting too much money or burning things up!

    The stock set up is the way I want to run for now..... the upgrades and custom builds will come with time

          The ones that I was looking at are 5000mah... but I am certainly open to suggestions?

            Many get their LiPos from Hobby King...I use a bunch of 30C 5800 mah packs with excellent results and at about 27 bucks a pack..good deal..
