Default RE: 24''Wildthing Build...first time builder

<p style="">Well i got it painted.Now i will lay down the graphics then clear coat sand repeat till it looks good.

I did not put any strakes on it ,do you think i should or should i try it how it is first?

Where should i mount a water pick up?
I have the kind that attaches to the hull or i could make something if someone points me in the right direction.
I was thinking of useing a brass tube shaped almost like a candy cane and solder it to one of the exit tubes (that is above the stuff tube you can see in the pics above that i made two side by side tubes for water cooling set up)and have it catch the water from the prop spray.Hard to explain but i hope you understand.

Prop size-
I am running a 24t 550 motor, a traxxas evx-2 esc, two ib 4200 mah 6 cell nimh packs=14.4v.
For this electric set up can someone recomend a good starting point for a prop please.

I do have a couple misc props they are-
kyosho d 38 p 1.4
octura Y-534
octura X-431
Will any of those props be good to start with?
What are people who run 12 cell nimh in a wildthing with abrushed motor running?
