    The only problem with that is I wouldn't have a boat any more. But as soon as I can get a buddy of mine to come out with me I will get a good video of it

        well i pulled the trigger and installed a Seaking 180 and a Leopard 4074 2000kv and lets just say this thing just flys literally. I will try and get a video of it up today after i dry it all out from a nasty blow over. I guess i need to do a little setup work before i do full speed runs.

          It was running really loose the way it was before with more power it's prob all over the place. Can you post some pics? My stuff won't be here till tomorrow.

            The seaking is a real tight fit in the stock location

              As long as it fits though. I ordered some extra caps for mine since my caps always ran a little hot on my old seakings. I figured I was going to have to run them on the battery wires and not like everyone else was installing them because of space limitations if I mounted it near the stock location. Thanks for the quick pics!

                What do you recommend me to get it to run a lil less loose?

                  First adjust the CG a little forward and if that doesn't help i'd put a tiny bit of negative angle on the strut back end and fine tune by bringing down the trim tabs. I always try to adjust my boats without going straight to the tabs. You might be able to raise the strut a tiny bit too.

                    Ya I noticed that the tabs do a lot with a little movement hopefully my receiver is still good and I can try it again today. No I know why a lot of boat guys run a cheaper radio system.

                      Are you taping the hatch? I'm running the gt3b on mine. Let the receiver dry out or if you have corrosion x spray it on and it should be good to go.

                          Nice, I edited post but I agree with you. Lost a couple boats. I noticed you've got your cooling lines going to the motor first. If it was me I'd go to the esc first. It won't look as clean but it'll run cooler.

                            Yay just bench tested the receiver and it works. I will say one thing this boat is tuff it took some really hard flips and hits with no damage
