Nice! And with the push-pull rudder, you're not fooling around! Would love to see some video when you can. And speed results too if possible!

My only caution, as I saw it and have heard from others, with the solid stock shaft, running that high RPM you will wear out the bushings in the stuffing tube quickly. You'll know when it's time to replace them when the inside is full of grease after each run. And replacing the stock stuffing tube and shaft with the direct replacement parts is simple ... at least until, or if you upgrade to a flex cable!

Thanks. Flex cable, turn fins and trim tabs are next and should be last (lol) on my list of upgrades. I have them all sitting in a box for when I have some more free time.
The rudder makes such a huge difference.
Today I had it clocked at 22 in the rough water but the gps battery died while it was out so I have to do that again, preferably on some glass.
Here's some video from today right before the esc shut off on me - https://youtu.be/WvYcf50rZcw

We were surprised how much better the Stealthwake handled with the better rudder. Glad you had a similar experience!

I love your videos. Your "The Fog" was impressive! Is the FPV camera mounted on top of the hatch? It looked like you were able to rotate the camera while driving. If that's the case, how did you find room for everything?

Well done! Keep up the great work!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed them. I'll keep uploading the good ones.
It's the ugliest thing ever (my first fpv project) but it works. Eventually I'll make a cleaned up version.
It's a Caddx Tarsier dual camera on the front of a clear / waterproof case, which holds the dvr / sd card. That's attached to a servo arm. I control the servo with one of the knobs on the FS-GT5.
Eventually I would like to set up a pan / tilt fpv camera and connect it to a head-tracker but this gets the job done for now.
