After finally running my SV27 with lipos, I have to say, they're amazing!
Just one thing I was a bit concerned about. In the rear of the boat, the brass stuffing tube appears to have changed color and looks black as though it was burned. I filled the rear of the boat with Z-poxy, as I saw was recommended to make it stronger and more water tight.
My explanation for this was that the drive cable was not lubed, as I had forgotten to, and that it was causing friction resulting in heat.
I took out the drive cable, and noticed that it was dirty and mud colored, it just looked really bad. So I wiped off all the dirty stuff, and re-lubed it. I will run it again tomorrow and hopefully this helps! If any of you have had the same problem or have any ideas on what I should do, please let me know!
Thanks in advance :)
