Status: offline 		I don't think so. The OS is larger and uses a completely different setup than the .32 that you want to modify. Your motor is more in the "sport" category, even with mods.

Status: offline 		Hey folks. Just purchased a radar gun made by Bushnell. Seems to be very accurate from a head on read, however I have my SW36 Nitro ready for it's first run. I will post some video ofcourse after the break in :-) I am sure no one wants to see that fun stuff, but I do seem to remember some comical "break ins" LOL

Status: offline 		The stock throttle servo is fine. If you want to upgrade the rudder servo then go ahead. While you're in there, install some 4-40 rod as I've heard complaints about the stock 2-56 rod flexing too much.

Status: offline 		Yes it was for sale sold it today on ebay, sad to see ikt go it was a great boat and never let me down but I bought an AC Lazer and also finished building my cat so one had to go.
Anyways the vents let the boat breath you can get them at any boat store for around 3 bucks each. The bullet nut is made by prather I think it was 4 bucks, One think i didnt get to try was, one of the guys I met from the local club are sticking about a 1/2" of brass tube into the end of the pipe and about the same lenght sticking out, they all had it and those monos where fluing one of them, a rigger 75 mhp with a .21 clocked with a radar gun no bull hereso that's something you guys might want to try.
Any ways I enjoyed my SW36 and n ow on to a faster boat.

Status: offline 		you should sand it first, the paint needs a good surface to stick to. Try a light paper, like a 400 grit

Status: offline 		Just remember "paint" is weight LOL
I have noticed on other boats that the turn fins are stright up and down not angled like my SW36
I went ahead and swap sides and did some tweaking to them Now they are straight , but I have not noticed any difference
Wondering if anyone else has done this and what did they note from it
