Default How to keep the torque from prop low?

Hi all,

I always notice that whenever i have something rc that goes in the water it alwasy tips or tries to turn in a direction instead of going straight. How do you keep hte torque down so that rc boats or mostly subs, so that the rc vehicle doesnt tip or do something not wanted and how do you increase rc range. Heres a dumb quesiton what if you had two microchips with different frequency and you had two of the funcitons both for motors. And you had both motors geared to one shaft. And if you needed extra speed you would have hte second enging run for extra rpms. Now since enginges when turned and connected to a lightbulb or soemthing and the engine acts like a generator i was wondering if it would send an electric wave back(the motor thats not running) and short out the other circuit board. Hope any who answer follow what im asking thanks.

Range and the overload circut I have little experience in,
But if you install ball bearings that might make it less jerky ans If you have two motors
you can make them counter rotating but you would have to reverse the propeller on the modifyed one
but I have little experience in such matters, Captian Nemo, Could you Uh, Take this over.

There's a less complicated way than installing machinery. You can modify the fins.
