Default RE: Flightcraft Shockwave

There are a few of us here that do own that boat .
( I myself , included )
The 32 you have on there will do ok , but , if you want her to really scoot along , toss on a OS 46 ( or similiar engine ) .
To stop the plastic sleeve from moving , I dripped on a drizzle of CA glue and have not had any problems .
I also removed that rudder that come on it and replaced it with a real rudder from Aeromarine Laminates :

I also changed the rudder servo over to a Hitec 645MG servo:

At full throttle , she now turns on a dime [sm=wink_smile.gif]
Sorry , had some video on another RC forum , but can't seem to access it [&o]
