    Ive soldered things like that before and using the hole drilled into either side will allow the solder to flow into the joint as long as the temp gets hot enough. In my opinion a pin may not be needed but theres alot of guys on here that know more than i do lol The engineer is coming out

          I may have an extra X642 prop, i balance my own , first one took me 6 hrs , then i bought a Stainless Steel and have about 8 hrs in it, its very time consuming to do it correctly sure glad i'm retired. lol

                I also ran Darins tweeks and they made a big difference , if you havent seen it i made my own tweeks but it does best with a 440/3 three bladed prop, im running Track Power 5000mah 40C lipos, got 42.6 mph today on the glassy smooth pond

                    One heck of a job on ur boat. Retirement really is paying off for you LOL Ive raced rc cars and trucks for the past 14 years and boats are new to me. But a forum and trial and error is paying off

                      the boat actually calls for over 25C batteries, watch your temps.

                            This is my first boat too, they are a blast , my Helis stress me out too much. I am considering putting floats on my Bell 47 for a boat recovery system. lol . yep too much time, ill sure be glad when Darins Stiletto gets here. i'm running out of stuff to do.
