Hey! I just recently I purchased the TFL Genesis 900 from OSE, and it finally arrived today. Such a beautiful boat and it's only my second RC boat I've owned, so I'm excited to really step up from my cheaper RTR I have. As I've started to assemble things I have some questions.
1) batteries. On the page here it says it needs 2 2s 5000mAh batteries to power it, yet the ESC only has one plug, and the instructions show only using one lipo. Do I use two at once, or one? And how? (I haven't ordered the batteries yet, are there any you recommend for this boat?)
2) I noticed the hatch doesn't have any latches. Is it as simple as buying latches and drilling the hatch to install? Or do you normally just tape it down and do away with latches?
3) flex shaft maintence. Apparently this is a two piece flex, where you have to take off the strut and pull the shaft through the front to grease. That seems like a very time consuming thing to do after every run, and if I needed a new cable I would have to find one with a square end. Can you convert this to a single piece flex assembly?
Pllease excuse my (possibly dumb) questions, as I emailed Steven first but it appears they're on vacation and won't be back until the 8th. I just don't want to wait that long!
Thanks a lot for the help, and I can't wait to get this beauty on the water!
