"that" miss geico

[masonis1]

So hey everyone, ive gotten a lot of great help on here from people such as shawn "srislash", izcain and many other. They helped me with my first build and have started helping me with my MG. Now i kinda dont want my first build thread to be linked with my mg. I want them both to be seperate because truely, they are totally different. So thanks again and here, i want to get help for the MG only. Lets focus on this beast making it the best we can.

So with the specs of the MG i have.
Proboat miss geico hull
Proboat steering servo
Stock motor mount
Aquacraft 120amp aquastar water cooled esc
UL-1 brushless motor
2 flight power 5350 mah 2s lipo
Grim racer 42*55 prop
Offset rudder
Sharpened rudder and strut
Traxxas 2.4ghz radio

That is what we have. Now here is the setup shawn and i have put on with this boat.
Strut is level with the bottom of the hull. While sitting on the table, the strut sits flat.

Everything in this boat seems tip top. But i want more, who doesnt. Hah well im guessing you want pictures now.

In some pictures you might see some stuff wrong. I have! Re bent the steering rod and as i said fixed the strut from other pictures..

This thing is mean looking.
Oh did i mention i traded my min revo for this! Great trade.

So now that everyone has all the detail, what does everyone see with this setup? Anything that can be changed? Anything cheap, that can be done?

Got rid of the butt connectors. Not pretty tho.

So tested today. Couldnt go far because the range on the remote was limited. I actually his a wall lightly. Came back and noticed a crack on the inside side of the sponsor tip. I can blow on it and it wont let air through so im not worried aboht it too bad. Swappes over thee radio and i might go test again.

Hi,
How does the flex shaft feel going into the coupler on the motor ?
In the pictures it looks like a bad angle on it.
And 5.5 bullet connectors would be a cheap good mod all around for the setup,
You just need to know how to solder.
A mini torch is cheap and work good.

It seems alright. Nkt too bad. But i dont know this... On my 2700 turnigy it spins smooth and easy. This motor doesnt. Like goes then stops when i try.spinning it. I.notice my cc2200 in my truggybdoes that too is this normal? And i have a torch and a soldiering gun. I can solder alright...

So I've notced some talk I dnt understand. Ride wet, ride pads. Now also, ill try getting avdeo of the boat running as soon as I can. Probably memorial day week I will have a rc bash, ill have my truggy bashing and also the boat. Souldbe good. And also, im., getting a job so should hve some more money coming in.. first I'm going to buy my truck and upgrade tha a bit but I have half a year to do tha. I shoul buy a good setup for this boat. Motor? Used cc 2200 maybe. Esc idk what everyoneis running but I do have a extra 120 a esc. Maybe combine the two? Just a thought.. prop? Blue printing thehull sounds like a must. Ill have to findut how to do that. Now I see lik turn fins and stff for v hulls. Do these d anything for cats?
