Well it's been awhile since this thread was written on. But I finally did get some u joints that I was able to make work. I had to dremel some to make room for them. I've had it on the pond a couple of times but wasn't able to get video of it. It run pretty wet but is considerably faster than stock. Even on 2s lipo she goes well. The second run on the pond I heard an odd noise and when I checked it out I noticed one of motor mounts starting to come apart. So now I need to make new mounts out of aluminum and try again.
