Default SUPERVEE DRIVESHAFT HELP!

Greetings!

After much anticipation, I was able to run my new SV brushless. I was about 3 exciting minutes into the maiden voyage, doing figure 8s, and the boat hit its wake. The boat stopped accelerating, and when brought back to shore, the propeller was missing...infact, the whole drive shaft was gone! The boat was filled with water.

I dried everything out, and here I am!

What parts do I need to fix it. Since I never took out the drive shaft, how do I re-assemble them?

Would this be under warrantee? Is it worth a warrantee claim? And has anyone taken advantage of the warrantee?

I have a neighborhood race on Labor Day, so time is of the essence.

I am very excited with the boat. The first three minutes were incredible! This thing is FAST!


Thanks again,
Jason
