Bought this boat as a Christmas gift for my son....so I want it to be a successful trip to the pond. I removed the flex shaft and cleaned and re-greased. I blue locktited all the screws that were metal to metal. I also purchased a balanced and sharpened 42x55 grim racer prop and I will be running 4S lipo for starters.

It seems odd to me not to have all the electronics in a water tight box...similar to my gas boats...but maybe this doesn't leak...but how if you flip it over does some water not get in????

I am not new to boats as I have several much larger gas powered but this is my first electric so hopefully some things are the same...just smaller in size????
