Hi,
So I finally rebuilt my Shocker with new OSE 3/16 drives, stuffing tubes, OSE .187 flex (was .15 originally), MBP collets, OSE STS 187 (Shaft Tube Seal/Flex Saver), new pair of 2050kv TP 4050's, and fiberglass inlay. All this took me almost 2 weeks to do. I was surprised by how time consuming everything was especially mounting the drives with the stabilizer mounts which weren't exactly a 100% fit for this hull, but it works.
Here is my 3rd run with a bit of adjustment to trim with 445 CNC props (started with 442's). Temp's were barely warm to touch on 442s so I moved onto 445s.
My cheap $50 gps clocked this run here at 70mph... but I think if I ran on the bigger part of the lake I'd probably get some better speed readings since it's not one of those $150 high sensitivity garmin gps's.
This last run motor and ESC temps were fine. Except the revo lipos which were around 95*F+ when I checked... some of them were slightly puffy. :-/
They are back to normal now. Voltage readings on the cells were always perfect matching with all 4 3s packs (4.275v etc) but now when I recharged them afterwards they all show 1: 4.223V 2: 4.265 3: 4.247
Not sure why the packs were that hot but I think it might of been due to placing them between foam which I was hoping would be a good idea for extra floatation just in case and to keep them in place.
So I'm currently cycling the lipos on the Cellpro powerlab so hopefully these packs aren't ruined.
Some pics of under the hood:

My only complaint so far is my Flysky GT3C radio... response starts lagging by 1 seconds when its at a distance which is why the boat flipped in the video. So I guess I'll be shopping for a new radio so if you guys have any suggestions let me know :)
Anyway... thoughts? suggestions? Except the lipo thing I'm happy with the boat so far.
