Just got this boat and so far its sweet. Only thing i have noticed is the same thing that’s happening to my sonicwake, the wires from the esc to motor heat up enough to make the shrink wrap stick together. Im running both boats on 6s. Four batteries in the geico

Also just ordered a couple of sets of some new doctor props 643/3 props

It's a sweet boat, can't wait to see some videos

Crashes suck for sure. Happens sometimes in congested areas.

Here is a mediocre vid of mine today. Not a bad boat, given my current battery situation.

Taped it all up today. Took her for a couple runs and flipped it. I then noticed my batterie tray came loose. Idk if it was from the accident or from when i flipped it.

It looks like this tray is glued and screwed. I wonder what kind of glue and when do you screw it when installing a new one? I have a new hull on order... i should prob order a new battery tray. Idk if i can get the old glue off the old one or just leave it on and epoxy the remaining glue down ehh... i would like to know how to properly install a battery tray to one of these hulls

[danthem]

The tray for electronics and batts is one piece fixed with 8 screws to the hull,if not cracked you can reuse it in the new hull.

There definitely is like at least an 1/8” thick layer of glue between the hull and tray.The screws dont go into the hull they only go into the glue.

I dont think im going to be able to get the old glue off the bottom of the tray so i ordered a new tray for my new hull.

Now i wonder whats the process of installing a new tray?

Strange,4 metal plates are glued into that hull-check this vid
