BTW, the dual water pickups are amazing,,after running hard and soft for full duration of 5400mAh batteries, the esc and motor aren't even warm to the touch...i think i hit a home run on the rudder setup.....
Actually your motor and ESC are cool because you are under-propped and the boat is running so loose. All the rudder does is supply water (which is pretty cold this time of year); it does not take much to cool a motor pulling low amps. With a larger prop and warm pond water your results may vary.
BTW, the thrust bearing on the strut is a bad idea. First, because it is larger than the strut it will cause a lot of drag and prop cavitation. Even worse, when the flex cable winds up it shortens, putting the whole cable in a bind adding drag and eventually pulling the strut out of alignment. Take the thrust at the motor mount and be certain to leave a gap equal to the cable diameter between the drive dog and the strut.
