    Diesel, what I did was remove the lower strut bolt and use a zip tie instead, as a break away. So when its time to lube the drive I just cut the zip tie and pull the rudder up. Takes 2 seconds! The the drive cable slides right out.

    You'll love that outrunner. The 2650 in mine is just for fun. I will mostly run the 3424 now knowing that it can sling a x446 like nothing. It's like running 5S without the extra weight. Man, those outrunners make awesome torque.

    Oh BTW, the stock ESC will run the Castle outrunner without breaking a sweat. I just like the T180 cause it seems to have more punch. and more adjust ability. But in a pinch the PB ESC will do!
    Yea I use a zip tie on my lower as well. I use breakaways on every rudder now since I had a sv issue hitting a ufo... Still annoyed me lol... Maybe deep down inside I just was looking for an excuse to upgrade/change crap out

    I was bashing my stock esc for a while pulling 60 amps cont and peaking in the high 70s. I had a extra 120 laying around and decided to put it to use, to be honest the major reason I changed the esc is I don't like the low rpm throttle contorl or lack their off on the PB's. It's either balls to the wall or nothing, plus more cap room to get crazy with props. I loved the way your Mg ran with the outrunner and like I said I loved that sound! Just watched your other video with the 2650, dang that thing is gettting scary fast!

      I agree 100% on the throttle range of the PB ESC. Not very favorable.

      For me there will never be a replacement for the 3424 1800 in my boat. I will play with bigger props to get more speed out of t with that setup. That is the motor that I will run 75% of the time. The other 25% will be just getting stupid with this 2650 until I burn or break something. The boat is more than a handful with that motor. As you can see, it's hard to stay on throttle 100% of the time. Plus, the cap temps are a bit high and I don't want to blow my 180.

      There is a guy in our group that runs a Neu 1415 1700 on 5S. Now that's fast!!

      Boatcrazy, sorry for jacking your thread!!

        I wish I had snagged one of those... Is it exactly 1800Kv or was it like... 1750 or something...??

          Castle says exactly 1800. I picked up 2 that I hope will make it in to my Genesis one day. For now 1 finds it's home in the MG and the other is still in the box.

            If it says vertigo on it, someone on fleabay wants $105 for one.

              Yeah, those are them. I'm not surprised that they would sell for that much on the bay. Worth it, IMO.
