water cooling question

[Simon.O.]

That looks to be a 42mm x1.2 or 1.4 Kyosho prop on there. If so that is where your problem is. I run Kyosho props and octura plastic props and can tell you now that motor is better suited to a smaller octura. i would go for a 531 to start and then look at a 534. My rigger is better on a 431 than a 531 and that is running a superstock can (27krpm).
As the others have said, the one pickup behind the prop should be sufficient.
Octura plastic props are a few dollars each and will let you do a lot of testing to find a prop size to suit.
Down prop and let us know how you go. Do not keep overheating your gear, you will kill it, trust me I have done it.

just started to order parts from steve and learning as i go. as for the car esc it was just something i had laying around,(right know my budget is very limited due to to 2 major back surgeys and a 3rd on the way in the next two weeks, also living in phoenix its hard to get boat parts untill i found this site) on a better note some recent pick ups from ose were a octura x427 and a x632 for my 20 inch mono project also some micro hardware, the boat in the pictures was just taken off the shelf to help me learn how to set up a wire drive system before i started to chop up my wooden mono. The prop on this boat is the stock kysho prop that came with it.
thanks, Jeremy

sorry never mind the angel its at is from the original angel the stock stuffing tube was put in

[SweetAccord]

Here on OSE the X-Power are very affordable. . . . .How good are they? Dunno. I asked that once and no one ever replied. . . . . . .

one more quick question on installing hardware on a mono is there a tural or some other site that shows how to install micro hardware? stuff like the best way to set up the stuffing tube and what angal the strut should sit?

[vdubsport]

also how the set up should exit the hull into the sturt?

[crabstick]

i like to have the stuffing tube a few mm above the keel line, depending on the size of the boat and the props im likely to run i also offset the shaft to counter prop torque

Also i would run the tube with as little bend as possible and after the shaft exits the transom should run almost parallel to the keel

thanks for the link, one more quick question if im using a strut in stead shaft what do i use in between the back of the boat and the back of the shaft? and do use teflon liners, and if so do u run it all the way throught the back of the shaft?

[crabstick]

i normally run the tube right through the strut, i run my homemade bearing cartridges and no teflon
