    While you have it all blown apart, reinforce the electronics tray mounting tabs. The factory adhesive is definitely a weak.

      I saw this over the weekend at a line-x dealer in Knoxville and thought I would share. Reinforcing the outside instead of the inside....You wouldn't have to worry about sanding/scuffing the ride pads with that on!

            Gave me a idea. I also build gas wood boats. I use www.klasskote.com for paint. Spray the boat with epoxy clear. Nothing will crack or leak...it's epoxy.

                  I had Line-X in my truck bed, it is 1/8" thick and NOT light.
                  Finish is too coarse for what we need.

                    In other news. The line-x is good for coating the inside of speaker boxes. Its good for about 2db vs non coated.

                      I also have it in my truck bed and lower 1/3 of the body/bed is lined too. Awesome stuff but definitely not for an r/c boat Lol

                        Today hd flex from Jeff are arrived but one of two is not perfect: there's an angle in the juncion between flex and shaft... that's why it doesn't roll on a table...
                        Could it be a problem for vibrations or strut?
                        I need an opinion...

                          It's going to vibrate andwear the strut out if it's not straight. When I make my flexes I put them in an aluminum jig I matched from a block of aluminum that clamps them perfectly straight so there's no vibration. Maybe these just slipped past him. He's been known to make high quality stuff.

                            I would not run it. One of my stock cables was not aligned perfectly and it wore out the strut bushings quickly.
