As having a little experience with a few of the nitro hulls here are a few words of thought. All of this info was from the members on here who have helped me out. Thank you!
1) The brushless factory "lam" has more room inside but the battery tray will only allow for a 2s battery on each side from what I have read....(so 3s is out) Important for motor selection.
2) The factory strut bracket is too deep in the water. After I read darrin's build on here I ditched the factory setup since it does not allow for adjustment at all. Which involved totally re-doing the stuffing tube.
3) Reinforce the floor with carbon or glass to stiffen the bottom of the hull, minimizing speed robbing flex.
4) Some good 2 part polyurethane foam in the front sponsons helps the balance and stiffens the front of the boat and also provides built in floatation. The use of extra weight to get the COG correct may also be needed.
5) COG (Center of gravity). Set it for around 1-1.5 inches from the back of the sponsons.
6) Set your servo where it pulls the rudder for right-hand turns not pushes. This eliminates any bending it wants to do.
These boats can be alot of fun and very blowover resistant if set up properly. Hope these tips help out.
