Is it me or is my SV sitting too low in the water??

[03civic1]

i did a float test it the tub tonight to check if the boat was sitting ok cause i moved the batteries up alittle bit andmaybe its just me or is my boat sittin really low???

[Brushless55]

Looks like mine bro!

[Brushless55]

how it looks at 40MPH !

looks right to me, ps use a antenna cap over the stock water pickup. it will stop the water from flowing thru and causing drag

[z400]

Why do you guys that run 2 pick ups.. Not take full advantage of the first/stock pickup!?


If i had 2 pickups, my motor would have a fresh source of water and so would my esc.

[6S HYDRO]

also, did you ever find a match for the paint. i want to get some money to ya so you can get to work on paintin that blue one.

that stock pickup sucks. it doesnt pump water in the staights and only a little when turning right. the traxxas pickup flows so much water its un neccesary to run two. i was going to run it to the esc but dont want to chance overheating it ( i run 5s regularly on stock esc) havnt had a prob with the single traxxas pickup

Hey! Where'd you get the new rudder?

[BIGDG357]

I doubt this guy will answer you, but this looks like the stock rudder with the blue anodize removed

Hey! Where'd you get the new rudder?

Where are you seeing a new rudder at?


And the guy your asking the question to is supposed to be dead right now..

[domp444]

Oh I thought it was an upgraded rudder. How do I remove the blue anodize? Does it improve the performance?

Why is he supposed to be dead? :O haha

[BIGDG357]

I used regular oven cleaner on mine just spray it on( remove the hardware from the boat of coarse) and rinse it off it may take a few times but it will get it off. It seems this guy owes people money and or merchandise, I guess when this sort of thing happens people convenietly die

[domp444]

Oh alright sounds cool. What do you use to make the back of the boat water tight? Sometimes I feel like the water comes in through the back such as where the rudder rod goes into the boat. I was thinking of putting epoxy on the transom from the inside. Good idea?

Come on David, give us a little shout out. Where'd you get that rudder, I'd like to know too...

Boat still for sale?

the water is probrably coming in from your hardware as mine did.Remove your hardware and put a bit of silicone under the hardware and remount, this worked for me.Another thing i have added is an autobailer that you can get here at OSE this will help get water out of your hull if it does get in.
