Howdy all!
New to the forum and RC boats. My son has gotten into a cheap boat and loving it. Friend gave me a Miss Geico 17 and been ordering parts to get it to run faster.

I have a lot of questions, but one of the ones I have is the strut height/depth. I'm finding mixed statements and not sure which to start with as a baseline.

Below on the video on larger MG James's video recommends 1/8" shallower than the sponsons:

On http://www.radiocontrolinfo.com/rtr-...an-hull-setup/ it states the center of the drive shaft on the strut should be level with the sponsons.

Found the other threads here regarding switching a 17 MG to flexdrive/brushless, but no details on strut depth. Should it be level with the sponsons, lower, flush?

Any insight greatly appreciated!

Yo Han
