Thanks for the pictures looks good. The drive assembly looks shorter then the orignal, is there a performance difference? shorter Vs longer?

The speeds we where getting was with the stock stuff on with the M5 Zen from WHH. So at 50 + mph not bad, but I am going to stick the M6 in it and see if it'll go past 55 which I am very sure it will or it'll peel off gellcoat....lol.

It should. What prop are you using? Matt ran 53 with the GrimRacer 3 blade, which IMO was not the prop for it. We definetely could have gotten 55+ with the Zen in Matt's RIO, but he got rid of it before being able to do anymore prop testing on it.

I am using Prop Shop 7514 E works very we'll. WHH recommends 75mm on their modded motors but stay away from the aluminum one's they snap and tear the hell outa the flex and stuffing tube...lol.

Heres a "short" vid of the Rio w/ a hansen mod g260.

Grimracer 3 blade.

Ran pretty well till I ran her outta gas...the iv bag gives no warning.

Sorry the camera guy wasnt the best.
