(upgraded drive shaft, dual cooling, etc) Boat ran great and the handling was great! The only issue is it is still taking on some water from somewhere, cable is greased up so I don't know where to look? Maybe zip tie the cooling hoses? It runs great and I think this is as fast as I want to run it in my narrow canal. Just want to figure out the water issue and if I am running it without burning anything up. I put some sponges in it for my next run to suck up some of the water and to hold my GPS to find out how fast it is. Temps on the motor was 110 degrees and ESC was 120 degrees, batteries was 90 degrees but it was 90 degrees outside. Any thoughts on how the is water getting in, and are those normal temps after a hard run??
