New system installed!

[Megabiker98]

I'm stuck in the middle, I wanna get a new radio and I wanna get the m445 prop, I don't know which to get first. Radio im getting is the flysky gt3c, or a sharpened and balanced m445. If I get the radio I'm afraid they will run out of the sharpened and balance props. I wanna get te pre balanced prop because I don't have enough time right now to sharpen one. What do u guys think I should do?

[Heaving Earth]

The prop will give more performance than a radio change will

[ray schrauwen]

My suggestion would be either the GT3B or the latest FLYSKY RC Model FS-iT4 4ch 2.4GHz

The power button on the steering wheel for the GT3C is known to shut the radio down because it pinches the power switch wires when you steer. You don't need to fix a brand new radio.

That said there are some crazy deals on some name brand 2.4G radio's lately too.

Just thought I'd warn ya.

I have heard of this problem before and thought I read something about it being fixed with the new gt3c (green) version? Was that just a rumor? Hmm. Ill have to look into the name brand sales!!!
I'm still undecided about the choice though, most likely prop is gonna get priority!

[ray schrauwen]

Good choice. You will like the prop much better.

I dunno, just my buddy bought a GT3C and it crapped out on him. Lucky he had someone to re-rig it.

The green could be better but, why chance it right now. China will keep pumping out more 'stuff' faster than you can think.

[Megabiker98]

Is it really that big of a difference? . Ya I don't I will wait a little while to get the remote and do a follow up and see if the green is fixed or not! Sounds like a plan to me! Hahaha

Also move the water lines on the motor,
If you can spin the jacket so the out let nipple is on top and in the center of the motor.
You want the water coming in at the bottom nipple on the jacket,
This way it fills the hole jacket up to the top nipple.
Than going out the hull, You will have 25% more water in the jacket that way and better cooling.
What other boats and radios do you have ?

Ya last time I set it up on a table it was level, ill check again tommorrow morning. And I am running 2s packs! I watched ur video, can't wait to get mine to an open lake!!!!! My local pond is pretty compact!!! What prop do u have on urs?
Edit: yep strut is set level with the sponsons on a table

[Megabiker98]

I just took a look at raising it 3/16 up, and BOY does that seem super high, do u mean 3/16 from level with sponsons???

[Megabiker98]

Ok what about this water route configuration?? Just wanted to see if this will work without having to take it off? Ill take it off if it won't work though
I only have the mystic, and an on road car. I am looking into another boat, that won't be for a while though! Hahaha

[lenny]

That will work better,
The jacket should spin in the boat if you add some soupy water in the nipple,
And around the out side of the jacket O-rings.
Just work it a little.
Tactic radio's work good for me and the rx is pretty cheap to, I use one tx and I have 10 rx's.
You just bind all the rx to one tx.
I have a gt3b but never try that yet.

[Megabiker98]

How much should I spin it around 90 degrees 180???

[lenny]

Till the exit nipple is on top of the motor,
Like this.

[Megabiker98]

Alright that would make sense!! What is ur strut set at?? Is it the way the prop is supposed to be, it looks like it has a little ding in it towards the center??

[lenny]

Yes,
Prop has lots of TLC and modding to it.
Strut level with the sponson's like I said before.
I also modded the rudder pin to take up the looseness it had,
Still looking things over for more idea's on modding a few things.
And also the trays for easier 4s cells placement.

[Megabiker98]

Hmm alright ill try strut level with sponsons then 3/16 from there and see how it does! What did u do to the rudder pin?? Ur talking about the little slack it has forward and backwards correct?
