About 3 weeks ago, my son and I received our Rio 51 boat. We were really pumped to get it running. Well, many hours of reading and pulling we finally got it to run. It was only for a very short time. Man, it sucked! Many of the posts on here said to get rid of the Fugi motor. Earlier this week I stated that there needed to be a book for RC Boats, "RC boats for Dummies". I found the place!!! The website is www.gizmomotors.com. I ordered a new motor online and again being new, didn't know that motor mounts would not be included. So I called the company, asked if I could come over. I found one of the coolest shops and one hell of a nice guy. Bruce showed me what was wrong with the Fuji motor so that I could fix it to use later and helped me get the new motor ready to go in the boat. We fired it up this afternoon and man did we have fun. We're hooked!! And we're still in the break in stage. I would also like to thank all the other guys on here who helped with their information!! If you guys need anything, gizmomotors.com is the place! Bruce, you're the man!!
