    I went thru that predicament too before I started boating on the pond near my house and one day I just did. I figure there is always someone that will say something but until that day I'll keep enjoying it

      Hello Gang,

      My Revolt is back on the water and running better than ever. I am pleased with AQ fix to the stuffing tube getting loose; not pretty but it does not move now. Here is the pic of the fix:

          Yes Mike, I am having a ball with this boat! Acouple of things I did lately:
          • Diverted the water intake coming from the rudder pick up to the motor cooling jacket and the Esc separately.
          • Added a water outlet to port of the boat and a transom fitting. The transom fitting has a dual function; it serves as a water outlet for the ESC and as a water intake for cleaning the served water out of the cooling system with my mini hose.
          • Replaced stock Dean connectors with EC5 (Deans melted yesterday and boat almost cought fire)

            Currently Testing Octura X440 /3


          This boat definetly grows on you.

              With my strut pushed up carefully about 2mm, upgraded flex shaft and an M545 my silver Revolt is driving on the prop almost exclusively in the straights. I had to drop the fins and straighten them out or the once stable thoroughbred, wanted to slap on its side violently in the turn! Now it is still decelerating into the turn but WOT just at the crest and blasts out into the straight. My favorite boat.

                      Dana,

                      I already did that last week. I noticed temps were going up and I double checked on the "path of least resistance" concept and I discovered I was basically dividing the water flow in two halvs and equaly reducing the velocity of the amount of water going to the motor and ESC. You change you learn... you learn you change!
