    Default product ideas

    Any one using ice packs (blue ice) to cool esc and motor?
    Dow Corning High Vacuum Grease (for rubber boots, "O" rings ect...)

    waxes for swiftness?
    note i have been using (inexpensive LA's totally Awesome CLR @ the dollar store to remove water spots and then spray FW1 cleaning wax) so far so good, with micro fiber towels.
    any of you have somethn' else to add?
    always lookn' for something quick and inexpensive.
    wetter is better
    no fuss just wipe and buff

    I'd like to see a duoprop style drive ie one drive but running twin counter rotating props! That would be cool and eliminate the issues of running single motor setups

    Cool

    I have seen small amounts of "blue ice" used in an inline tube through which cooling water passes, this directly cools the water not the motor.

    waxes for swiftness?
    Waxed on top, sanded on the bottom - i.e. no wax on the "wet side" of the hull.

    i was just readn' earlier on the sanded bottoms.
    what would happen if boat hulls where dimpled like golf balls?
    would water grip or slip?

    Water and air are completely different elements with different characteristics. A golf ball is designed to move thru air. My guess is, not so well in water
