I'll mess with some step once spring comes
I am final putting my bj back together, it was all in a box, trying a miss g flex shaft.
Is it spring yet? I can't rember winter being this long!:cursing:
prop nut,when you moved the fins to the top hole,i take it you drilled a new hole for the lower screw,and then covered up the old old?i will have more questions about all this once i tear into it.but figured i would start with the fins
Dirty, yes you will need to fill the old holes and drill two new ones. I used epoxy to fill the old holes. Please read through the first few posts in this tread for more info on all the mods done to the boat.Quote:

Dirty, that is exactly what I did, I guess it just didn't sound that way when I wrote it, lol!Quote:

went back out, still not really smooth, a lot of jumping around, ran the stock prop. With stock prop it got on to plan a lot easier. The first pack I ran was a new set of seven cell. Got 27 mph even, then I put the lipos in 30.7 mph.
Stock motor, stock esc, I get almost 43mph out of mine. X642, detongued and tip cup. Lipo, 40C 5000mah 4S
whats that? I need to try a clam day before I do anything major.Quote:

That kinda describes it, its a bit more involved and easy to mess up if your not careful.
Had my boat out today, it went well until I took it to the other side of the pond and ran out of room, the front has a small crack along the seam, but I did not spilt it open, I'm sure it will get a few more war wounds before summers done.

I'd atleast throw alittle epoxy behind it so it dosent get any bigger
Is it possible for the bec to burn up in the speed control? I used my boat a few weeks ago and it worked fine, I go to use it today and nothing, no power to the speed control. the wire is hooked up. I try it tonight and as soon as I put a rx back to the reciver the boat works fine.
Mine did that and it ended up being the switch went bad.
I guess I just use a battery pack, not worth taking it all apart.
I just cut the switch off and twisted the wires together... simple n easy
true
thanks powers up fine nowQuote:
