RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread
Yes, you may be right about that. It just seemed prudent to open things up while at it. I can tell you it didn't hurt it - things improved. The ABC jet ski cavitated badly under hard turning, but never now - it's like it's adhered to the surface more. I'm a big fan of that jet ski - you get a lot for your money. Lotta possibilities. Second best mod is a 50A brushed ESC and a 3s lipo. The stock 550 motor is powerful and aftermarket replacements are cheap. And you can fit a lot of batteries in the bottom (lowering the c.o.g.) thus lowering the possibiltiy of capsizing (did that once when batteries were in the provided tray) during crazy manuvers. They are selling them for $59.95 now on ebay. Hell, the jet drive alone is worth that. And you get a 2 channel proportional radio and transmitter, 2 servos, and an ABS hull as well as a 550 motor and water cooling system. That speed control has to go, though. (?]>
