After reading several hours here is what I decided. Remove battery trays to lower and then your able to move them back and forth. (really makes a diff). I made 2 trays using thin ply from the hobby shop but paint stirer (sp) would work. Some on here have used thin stryofoam. Then attach a few pieces of velcro for the batteries and you ready to go. Replaced the stock hardware with the Fullers Cat Hardware. Could not believe the improvement. Faster, More stable and very well made. Ordered and had in 3 days. Also removed tupperware container and placed the Speedcontrol under the plywood and the receiver on top. Left servo in stock position. You have to make a longer pushrod for the Fullers. A 2/56 rod and a dubro quick connect work great use the stock plastic retainer from the original. I also changed to an Octura 442 prop. Lot of info here just tried to condense all the info I found here. Also Fullers includes the drive shaft and teflon tube. You have to cut to drive line I used a dremel and wheel then silversolder the end to keep it from fraying. Also when inserting the teflon tube you have to stretch it to make it smaller slide it in the brass tube then it will expand and tighten in the tube. If you do the above there are pictures on this forum under the making it handle better posts as stated in your 1st reply.

Way to go....

A couple other things and info. I also put heat shrink between the Fuller's strut and the stuffing tube. No water coming in there now. Also added the Dubro push pull switch through the rear of the hull and mounted the Ant on the rear of the boat. Really nice being able to cut off and on without removing hatch tape. Oh yea you need to tape the hatch in a rollover last week the hatch came off. Obviously flooded the hull. I use 3m white electrical tape take a xacto knife and go around the roll and split it in half. Works perfect. When I get a chance I'll post some pics. This boat is really a blast with these improvements. I run mine 2-3 times a day in a small pond even though the pond is small with the way it handles no problem at all.

thanks for the info, You are the first person that I know of (and I dont know anything) to use heat shrink instead of fuel line tubing between the strut and tube, all I know I've read on here but am curious if this matters or not. if so Im sure someone will post it. I am new to this as well and only have a bare hull to stare at since Im still trying to figure out what to get. So all I can do is the inside the hull mods like you have done, plus I will be glassing in the last step on the hull. it sounds like it helps and since I have fiberglass and no parts I might as well ! if I dont start getting parts soon might start taking it to the lake and push it around just to see it on the water! I will probably be the first person to have a brushless motorless boat on the water

I've used heat shrink to seal the driveline for years. It works great!

You need to use a light coat of oil on it to keep it from sticking, but after that it's good.
