      Not very much, i didn`t seal the hatch because i wanted to watch the temperature of esc. If i seal the hatch properly then there isn`t water at all. I`m finnish so my english is a bit bad but i hope you can understand.

            Prather 225 prop..

            That is ALOT of prop for the stock motor and esc.
            The 220 is pushing the limits of the stock equipment.

            Good luck.

            You've got some leak some where then.

            Ive never seen a drop of water in my hull after 3 back to back runs on 3 different sets of packs.
            I havent ran a sealed radio box for quite some time now.

              Put a 1/4" length piece of silicon tubing over where the flex enters the stuffing tube, from the motor side. This reduces water getting in from the flex shaft.

                Yes i know that 225 is a bit too big prop but temps of esc and motor arent so pad, I have also octura X642 prop.

                  Same here, I've had mine now for three years running and this boat stays dry only a few drops once when hitting a wave and completely submarined it at full speed. Its been on it's back many times, retrieve it and dry as can be, not a drop. Seal up the transom hardware and tape the hatch and wala no water inside.

                    What exactly are your temps?

                        A 220 does not push things much at all, and can take much more!

                          esc 45, motor 50 and battery 35, these all are approximate values.

                              Everybody always says to do that. Every time I try to do it, in order to get the silicone tubing to fit over the stuffing tube, it has to be a really large inside diameter. It then won't fit the flexshaft tight enough to accomplish much. Next, the tube won't stay on the stuffing tube even if I CA it there! Frustrating. Somebody needs to manufacture something that actually works well without the headaches.

                              I just put a tampax inside the boat and let it soak up all the water!

                              Any other ideas?
