Default RE: The Offical Shockwave 26 thread!

I will get a video tomorrow my dad forgot to get the camera from work today i will also get my new battery pack tomorrow so it will be my first time driving it with the good pack The boat looks sweet and mean huh? I got back from my third run and there was grease splatterd on the inside of the hull were the coupler attaches to the motor shaft....and there was lots of water inside the boat, so im thinking there is no grease left in there and that's how the water is getting in! I also tried to regrease the shaft but 1 of the set screws stripped...so i think i will just drive it tomorrow like this for the video then get a new coupler and set screw or just get a flex shaft and a separate rudder Im kinda wating for wheelnut to get a sw26 then do the separate rudder and prop first before i do mine as i will need help and i know that! This is my first r/c boat ever! I also did some measuring and the stock prop is 35mm and the prop shaft is 4mm so the boat stock takes 4mm props and you can run higher then 35mm props. Im thinking of buying a 40mm carbon fiber prop from offshore and see what temps i get with that. So ill try to get the video tomorrow for you guys..
